Competition:
Tom Hammond was one of the co-founders of the committee and Bill Murphy and Joe Nardone have each served for more than 25 years. We will miss their years of wine making experience and their incredible depth of knowledge of the New York State Wine Industry. What’s more, we’ll miss their camaraderie. We should all tip a glass of wine to them!!
The change in committee membership forces us to also change the scope of our work. The remaining three members do not have the resources at this time to coordinate the annual Home Wine Seminar as well as manage the Home Wine Competition at the New York State Fair. Something had to go, so we have decided to bow out of the State Fair competition.
As of our last correspondence with the State, they still intend to hold a competition. So we hope that all you home winemakers will continue to enter and win medals.
However, with help from some new friends from the Rochester Area Home Winemaker's Club we will continue to present an annual Home Wine Making Seminar in August. We feel strongly that home winemakers want to hone their skills and improve their wine, and what better opportunity that to learn from home winemakers, professional winemakers from the Finger Lakes, winery consultants, and the personnel of the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY.
Website:
Ok, you know we have a website. However, this is where we, the committee, can let you know of things faster (and cheaper for us) than anyother method. This means that you should come back from time to time, to see what has changed and tell your wine making friends. Still we are looking for suggestions. That does not mean that all suggestions will be implemented, but all will be considered.
Forum:
We HAVE a forum! The link is on the left. You do have sign in to post a question or comment. You will find the "Join" in the upper right hand corner. Click that and enter your Forum Name and valid e-mail address. There will be moderators and we do ask that you write as though your mother or most prim and proper aunt were to read your post. Come to think of it, we should write as if our most strict English teacher were grading us.
