We invite you to join Sam Filler, members of our board of directors, and special guests – perhaps with a glass of your favorite New York wine – for an informal but informational online chat each month.

If there is a silver lining as a result of recent events, it is that many of us have become more comfortable with connecting on platforms like Zoom. While we are eager to see you all in person soon, over the next few months we invite you to join us online to have the discussions we might have had in your offices, your tasting rooms, or even at Kindred Fare after hours. We look forward to talking about issues affecting your businesses and our community. Let’s share challenges, innovations, best practices, and ‘feel good’ stories. Let’s share ways we can help each other and ways the New York Wine & Grape Foundation can continue to best serve you.

Each month will have a general theme to start us off, but we look forward to an open and engaging conversation with you all!

Thursday, June 11th, 2020 @ 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Special Guests: Charlie Marshall, NYWGF Board President and Chef & Owner of The Marshal Restaurant in NYC, Oskar Bynke , NYWGF Board Treasurer, Co-Owner of Hermann J.

Join us to meet the new Foundation Board President and Treasurer, and talk about regional reopening of winery tasting rooms across the state, and the grape market outlook for New York’s growers.
