About Element Winery
Element is Christopher Bates's proving ground: the master sommelier and chef ferments Finger Lakes fruit into savory, age-released Syrah, Pinot Noir and Riesling, wines built on restaurant-floor instincts about what tables actually want. Releases surface through allocation and the owner's restaurant channels, and tastings run appointment-only when the cellar allows.
Tiny production and long cellaring before release invert regional norms. A sommelier's wines, on his own terms.
