05/31/08 | The Golden Nose Award: A Wine Judging Weekend
Saturday the 31st | | Where? Seneca Lake Wine Trail Participating Wineries | | Phone: 877-536-2717 | | Website: www.senecalakewine.com | |
The Golden Nose Award, $50 for a Dinner ticket, $200 for a Judges ticket.
The Finger Lakes Region has long been a producer of award-winning wines. Both domestically and overseas, dozens of wineries win prestigious awards every single year. However it has been over twenty years since a competition has been held specifically between Finger Lakes wineries only. But rather than bringing in a batch of professional tasters to adjudicate which wines are best, we are opting to invite you, the consumers, to judge. After all, what percentage of bottles of wine are sold to wine professionals? Very few. At the end of the day, it is your senses, your palates, and your noses that our wine must please. Thus the Golden Nose Award has been created. | |
