Eastern New York Commercial HorticultureBlind Industry White Wine Tasting Workshop
This event is a blind wine tasting for ENY grape industry members to get feedback from fellow growers and Cornell Enologists on unfinished white wines (hybrid, vinifera, etc.) We respectfully request that only professional winemakers or commercial vineyard owners attend, as space is limited. Limit two wines per winery/vineyard.
Pre-registration is required. For questions, please contact Jeremy Schuster at jds544@cornell.edu
Note for participants: This workshop is designed to provide constructive feedback on unfinished wines and suggestions on what to do with the wine if anything. Some feedback may be challenging to receive. However, all feedback will be asked to be constructive and provide possible solutions. Non-constructive or disrespectful input will not be tolerated, and participants who do so will be asked to leave. The objective of this workshop is to be critical of the wines, not the people, to improve the wines of the region.
