The Region of the Year, In Your Glass: Celebrating The Wine Star Award
Sunday September 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Some awards are given. This one was earned: vine by vine, vintage by vintage, and glass by glass.
When Wine Enthusiast named the Finger Lakes its Domestic Wine Region of the Year, it wasn’t just a headline. It was the culmination of decades of passion, perseverance, and an unshakeable belief that this breathtaking stretch of upstate New York could stand shoulder to shoulder with the greatest wine regions in the world. Spoiler alert: it can.
Now it’s time to celebrate!
Join Kyle Pallischeck, Director of Programs at the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, for an experience that is equal parts education, inspiration, and pure joy. Kyle brings a rare insider’s perspective – she knows these producers, these vineyards, and these wines intimately, and she’s here to share their stories with you.
Through personal tales of the growers, winemakers, and visionaries who put the Finger Lakes on the map, Kyle will paint a vivid picture of why this region didn’t just deserve this award, it was destined for it. And of course, you won’t just hear about the wines that made history.
You’ll taste them.
Each pour in your glass tells part of the story, of a region, a community, and a moment that the entire American wine world is talking about. Come raise a glass to the people who made it happen, and discover firsthand why the world is finally paying attention to what we’ve known all along.
The Finger Lakes. Region of the Year.
