John Martini is the Co-owner of Anthony Road Wine Company. He and his wife Ann own and operate Anthony Road Wine Company, located on 100 acres overlooking Seneca Lake. Anthony Road produces about 14,000 cases of wine a year, including house specialties Riesling, Vignoles and several dessert wines. The winery's semi-dry Riesling won the New York State Governor's Cup in 2009.
In 1973, the Martinis moved to Yates County to grow grapes and raise their family. Ann managed the vineyard and raised the children, while John worked for Cornell University at the Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. The grapes from their vineyards were first sold to the Taylor Wine Company and eventually to wineries across New York State. In 1990, the couple opened Anthony Road Wine Company and decided to produce their own wines made from the 1989 crop. The first building was a renovated farm shop and the equipment was at best an eclectic collection of used and borrowed tanks and pumps and an old apple press. Today, the winery has prospered into an award-winning Finger Lakes winery and the Martinis are leaders in increasing the number and popularity of Finger Lakes wine in the New York City market.
