Pride of Place: Sip Your Way Through New York Wine History
Sunday October 18 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Think you know New York wine? Think again. Join Beverage Educator and long-time Finger Lakes Wine Industry Professional Sandy Waters for a lively, glass-in-hand tour through the Empire State’s wine story, from the daring pioneers who planted the first vines to the trailblazing winemakers redefining what New York can pour today.
This isn’t a history lesson from a textbook. Sandy has lived much of this story, and she’s brought the stories with her: behind-the-scenes moments, memorable characters, and firsthand memories from the vineyards and tasting rooms that shaped New York wine into what it is today. It’s history told by someone who was there, with the warmth, wit, and personal touch only Sandy can bring. She is, herself, a living legend!
Along the way, she’ll pour a hand-picked lineup of standout wines, from beloved classics to bold new expressions, that make the case for New York’s place on the world stage. Each sip is paired with a nosh plate from the incredible Chef Pam Cecere, made to bring out the best in every wine. Whether you’ve been a New York wine devotee for years or you’re just getting curious, you’ll leave with a fresh appreciation for the region all around you, and a serious case of hometown pride.
Come thirsty for stories. Leave ready for another pour.
