   Special events at wineries are always a great deal of fun to attend, but they can involve a trip of several hours and extra expense. Why not visit your local retailer or restaurant which might be having a special on New York wines, and create a special event of your own? A night out with your best friend … a dinner at a restaurant you might not have tried before …or a food and wine pair that you might not have tried.

   For an even more enlightening evening, a winemaker's dinner can be a very educational evening with specially prepared dishes matched to the wines presented for the evening. Usually a winemaker or winery representative is on hand to answer questions about the wines, and you can gain a whole new level of understanding about the art and science that goes into the production of wine and the pleasure that a good wine and food match can bring to you.

   Or if you are really interested in attending a big tasting, check the calendar of events for group tastings open to the public.
