There is no mistaking that New York produces some refreshing, high-acid, white wines like Riesling. However, for this seminar, Cha McCoy shines a spotlight on the diversity and warmth of other white wines being produced across the state, just in time for colder weather. As the season has officially changed, so have our palates. For Cha, this means craving hearty gastronomic experiences with wines to match. Before consumers give up on white wine for the season, join Cha and winemakers from across New York for a deep dive into the Winter White wine that we should be serving and selling now.
