Our guest speaker for 2024 is Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW, an independent wine consultant, wine judge, educator, masterclass & conference speaker, and wine business strategist with a specialist focus on sparkling wines and the wines of Bordeaux.
She has selected a set of wines that explore international traditional method sparkling wines. We will taste and discuss each wine in order to understand styles and winemaking techniques that may be relevant to our production of this important style in the Finger Lakes.
