SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Sam Filler & Guests
DESCRIPTION:Will New York Wine Tourism be the “Comeback Kid?” Preparing for upcoming tourism season and lessons learned during the pandemic year.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor many wineries the 2020 Summer and Fall tourism season was the best they’ve ever seen. Was this Covid-related “blip” on the radar just that – a one time occurrence? How are wineries\, and their wine trail marketing partners\, making the most of the experience they gained last year to improve this year’s tourism season? Join wine trail leaders and members from across the state as they share details about how the year went. What is the expectation for this coming tourism season? What adaptations for wineries (and wine trails themselves) were successful and will remain\, and which will not? What support do wineries and wine trail marketers need from the NYWGF? \nWhy the Fireside Chat? We are eager to see you all in person soon\, but for now we invite you to join us online to have the discussions we might have had in your offices or your tasting rooms. We look forward to talking about issues affecting your businesses and our community. Let’s share ways we can help each other and ways the New York Wine & Grape Foundation can continue to best serve you. \nWe invite you to join in – perhaps with a glass of your favorite New York wine – and ask questions during this informal but informational online chat. \n\nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:New York State of Wine: Boldy\, rooted. with Jamie Goode
DESCRIPTION:Diverse and bold\, with a long history stretching back hundreds of years\, New York is reinventing itself as an epicenter of dynamic winemaking. The state is home to the first winery in the United States\, and producers are drawing on that background to produce some of the most exciting wines in the country. Wine has been made since the 17th century and since the 1950s a successful focus on quality has taken hold to the point that New York is gaining a well-deserved reputation as one of the world’s most transformative regions. There is an incredible amount of diversity in climate and growing conditions: from Long Island\, exposed to the Atlantic Ocean\, to Hudson Valley\, the historic heartland of New York wine\, to Niagara and the Champlain Valley on the border with Canada\, to Finger Lakes\, which has established itself as a region that can compete with Germany\, Austria\, and the Loire Valley. Think cool climate\, expect the unexpected.

SUMMARY:New York's Heritage & Hybrid Wines with Carlo DeVito
DESCRIPTION:Many wine enthusiasts across the world enjoy and recognize wines produced from Vitis vinifera\, the European grapevine species responsible for beloved Chardonnay\, Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot and Pinot Noir. But winemakers in the Northern United States have recognize the potential of\, literally\, going back to our roots. The term “heritage” or “heirloom” grape apply to grapes that were bred and developed in the United States and are at least 100 years old as their own varietal of grape. Many heritage grapes that are becoming popularized in commercial production originate in the Hudson Valley of New York State. Hybrid wines\, made from a cross of European Vitis vinifera vines and American Vitis labrusca or Vitis riparia grapes\, have the reputation of being cold-hardy\, resistant to pests\, mold and rot. For wine lovers who are increasingly prioritizing minimal intervention in winemaking\, and natural and biodynamic wines along with seeking out new taste adventures – these wines check every box.
