SUMMARY:Riesling: The Noble One with Paul Grieco
DESCRIPTION:Riesling is one of the most cold-tolerant of the Vitis vinifera grape varieties\, with the highest quality achieved in cooler growing conditions. No wonder this noble grape is suited to the northern vineyards of New York State. Riesling is also known for its ability to produce very different styles of wine\, and New York is no exception\, where the wines are made in a wide range of residual sugar profiles from bone dry to very sweet. Join Paul Grieco and a panel of exemplary Riesling producers as they explore this historic grape variety and deliciously refreshing\, aromatic white wine.   \nFeatured Wines:  \n\nHermann J. Wiemer Vineyard\, 2019 Riesling HJW Vineyard \nRed Newt Cellars\, 2016 The Knoll Riesling \nNostrano Vineyards\, 2018 Semi-Sweet Riesling \nLakewood Vineyards\, 2019 Dry Riesling \n\nClick Here to Register \nAbout the Moderator: \nPaul Grieco was practically born in a restaurant. His family owned and operated Toronto’s landmark restaurant La Scala\, where he was thrust into the world of service and hospitality at a very young age. Before beginning a career in the restaurant business\, Grieco took a two-month trip to Italy to study wine. From there\, the budding sommelier spent the next six years working with his father and grandfather at La Scala\, overseeing the beverage program and managing the front-of-the-house staff. \nIn 1991\, Paul traveled to NYC for a three-month sojourn\, and he never left. Honing his service skills at Manhattan’s Remi Restaurant\, and other top-notch places\, like Bouley\, Gotham Bar and Grill\, Gabriel’s\, and Judson Grill\, which he opened with his mentor Chris Cannon in 1994. He eventually landed at Gramercy Tavern\, to learn the aspects of “enlightened hospitality” from creators Danny Meyer and Tom Colicchio. During his tenure at Gramercy Tavern\, Grieco won both the James Beard Awards for Outstanding Service in 2001 and for Outstanding Wine Service in 2002. \nIn 2003\, Grieco and chef-partner Marco Canora opened Hearth in the East Village\, and the duo’s first and second wine bars\, Terroir\, in 2008 and 2010. After a successful 11 year run together\, Greico and Canora parted ways; Grieco taking ownership of Terroir\, Canora remaining at Hearth. Today you’ll find Paul presiding over the beverage program at Terrior’s Harrison St location\, where he and the team continue to innovate the utmost of hospitable wine service to the masses of “Acid Hounds\,” who flood the downtown Tribeca neighborhood year round.

SUMMARY:VineBalance RFP Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The New York Wine and Grape Foundation seeks a consultant to update VineBalance as the basis for a new sustainability certification program for the New York grape and wine industry. To support this process\, we will be holding an online information session on June 16\, 2021 at 1pm/EDT. \nClick Here to Register \nBackground: \nNYWGF is developing a third-party certification for sustainably farmed grapes and wine. The basis for this certification will be the VineBalance Guide to Sustainable Viticulture\, a grower self-assessment workbook codeveloped by the Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Soil and Water Conservation Committee of the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets in 2007. This workbook has been widely applied across the state\, but it lacks a system of third-party verification and logo for special labeling. A pilot program for Yates County grape growers will begin in 2022 with the intent to expand statewide. The program will serve winegrowers who cultivate V. vinifera\, V. labrusca\, and hybrid grape varieties. Growers who achieve certification will be permitted to use the logo for direct-to-consumer marketing. This market-based approach will provide a continuous incentive for value-added producers to purchase sustainably farmed grapes and increase the visibility of sustainable wines in the marketplace. \nThe purpose of the RFP is to provide high level strategic and structural recommendations for certification design based on sustainability best practices\, while balancing the small-scale and independent nature of New York’s wine industry. The ideal candidate will be experienced in East Coast climate and agriculture\, viticulture and enology\, international standards of sustainable winegrowing\, and environmental certifications deployed by other agricultural industries. The VineBalance RFP is available here and responses are due by June 30\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Sam Filler & Guests
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion about the lessons learned from the exciting Lodi “Modern Farmer Series” and how we can use them in New York.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nOne of the most popular sessions at this year’s B.E.V.

While there’s still a long way to go\, correct data is just the beginning to telling our story and selling more grapes. Join us for a candid conversation about where the grower community is heading\, what we need to do to get there\, and how NWYGF and our partners can help! \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.
