We all know the state of New York boasts one of the most vibrant cities in the world, but did you know that it’s also the third largest wine

producer in the United States? Due to its geographical latitude (in line with some of Europe’s finest grape growing regions and often compared

to German wine regions along the Rhine river), its cool climate and deep soils, Finger Lakes features 103+ wineries and is emerging as an

exciting, high-quality New World wine region. Seasoned hospitality professional, wine judge and expert on the region, Master Sommelier

Christopher Bates will join us to discuss the latest wine trends emerging from New York and, most importantly, the potential growth of New

York’s wine regions internationally.
