Finger Lakes Wine Festival
The UPSTATE NEW YORK WINE FESTIVAL RETURNS
The largest showcase of New York State wines, the Finger Lakes Wine Festival, presented by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artisan Cheese, has announced the Festival dates for 2009. The Festival, entering its thirteenth season at the Watkins Glen International, is going to be the weekend of July 17-19, 2009.
The 2008 event hosted a record number of 89 New York State Wineries. Wineries from Long Island to Lake Erie were in attendance, including America's Oldest Winery, Brotherhood and Four Chimneys, the first organic winery (in North America). Festival goers were given an amazing souvenir wine glass and an official Tasters Guide to help navigate them through the 500+ wines poured at the weekend wine tasting event. The Guide also offered great recipes to pair with festival wines as well as information on all of the superb attending wineries.
