I met many of the winemakers and, once again, was impressed with the level of their commitment to the health and well being not only of themselves and their families, but their children and children’s children. It was a great experience to interview a number of them and their stories will appear over the next months.
Subjects covering The Consumer’s Perception of Organic Wine - Past, Present and Future; Challenges and Opportunities in the U.S. Organic Wine Market – Importing and Marketing; Small-Scale Local Winegrowing in upstate-New York and the Slow Food/Organic Connubium gave the many attendees much food for thought.
At the specialized wine tasting held the last day, hundreds of restaurateurs, wine buyers, distributors and importers spent many hours tasting and choosing their favorites and hopefully will be bringing more and more of these wines for public consumption here in the U.S.A. Later that evening, the Grand Gala Award dinner took place and three of my favorite winemakers received acknowledgement through awards for their fine wines, notably, Fasoli Gino, Rovero and Torelli but more of that later!
