SUMMARY:New York State of Wine: The Elements (Water)
DESCRIPTION:There is an incredible amount of diversity in climate and growing conditions throughout New York: 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\, home to 650 miles of shoreline. New York wine is synonymous with extreme climate—from the influence of water on all sides to the varied soils from retreating glaciers and sea deposits—and with over 60+ wine grape varieties grown here\, it’s no surprise this region thrives on diversity. \nThis three-part series\, led by London-based wine writer and author Jamie Goode\, celebrates the elements most integral to the wine regions of New York: Earth\, Water\, and Wine. \nEp. 2 – Water \nDid you know that New York State alone has more than 7\,600 freshwater lakes\, ponds and reservoirs? The second episode of New York: Earth\, Water & Wine will dive into one of the most influential elements to New York wine regions—Water. Join host Jamie Goode and winemakers from the Finger Lakes and Long Island\, to discuss how the proximity to water (both maritime and continental) can be a blessing … and a curse\, but ultimately\, creates distinct wine grape growing circumstances that result in the beauty and diversity of New York wines.  \nClick Here to Register \nJamie Goode\nWine Writer and Author\nJamie Goode is a London-based winewriter\, lecturer\, and judge\, He is currently wine columnist with UK national newspaper The Sunday Express in addition to contributing regularly to a range of publications including The World of Fine Wine\, Noble Rot\, Wine and Spirits in the USA\, Wine Business International\, Drinks International\, Wines and Vines and Vine Pair.

SUMMARY:Winemaking on the Edge
DESCRIPTION:Crafted in New York\, but inspired from everywhere\, New York is a unique community of passionate producers who approach winemaking with a multitude of personalities and backgrounds—they’re not alike\, and they like it that way. Wine has been made in New York since the 17th century and its unique history of hybrid cultivars paired with an increasing amount of planted Vitis Vinifera has positioned the region as one of the most diverse and resilient. In New York wines you’ll find subtlety\, depth\, and nuance; it’s no surprise that they’ve found a place on the global stage\, alongside other great wine regions of the world. \nThis three-part series\, led by wine writer and educator Kelli A.

From the North Fork of Long Island to the Finger Lakes and beyond and back to Brooklyn\, the Empire State is home to over 2\,000 wineries and vineyards\, a diverse range of micro-climates with one thing in common: a pioneering spirit. Host Kelli A. White will lead a lively discussion on how and why New York is boldly coming into its own\, and learning how to use its cool-climate\, unique winegrowing to craft its own distinctive style of wine. \nClick Here to Register \n\n \nKelli A.

SUMMARY:Export Program – Hong Kong\, South Korea\, Vietnam Overview
DESCRIPTION:Welcome back to our partner FLX International\, led by native New Yorker Matthew McFetridge. As pandemic impacts continued to affect in-person programming over the course of last program year\, many New York wines activities transitioned online with resounding success – thanks to FLX International’s effort. We invite you to join us for an overview of the Hong Kong\, South Korea\, and Vietnam markets. Matthew will talk about the wine landscape\, what wines sell well\, and discuss market-specific opportunities and challenges.

While completing his Bachelor’s degree at Keuka College he became well-connected with a group of wonderful Chinese classmates. His friendships encouraged him to complete his first Master’s degree at the prestigious “Harvard of China” Tsinghua University in Beijing. Tsinghua shaped his academic focus on the international relations of the Asia-Pacific\, which then led him on to completing a second Master’s degree in London at the famed School of Oriental and African Studies\, attached to the University of London. It was his time studying China-Burma relations that helped him discover Asia’s dynamic regional growth and the opportunity for the Finger Lakes to be represented in China. Now living in Shanghai\, where he is responsible for China operations of FLX International\, Matthew spends his time exploring China\, developing FLX International’s relationships\, and working to discuss the Finger Lakes as much as possible.
