New York State Fair Home Winemaking Competition

If you missed the announcement on my Wine Blog , The New York State Fair Home Winemaking Competition is coming up! (Subscribe to my blog via email here and never again miss out on these annoucements.)

This year will be a huge success and adventure for newbies!

As this year’s new organizing official for the competition, I am encouraging everyone who has ever made wine at Lakeland Winery to enter a bottle of their wine. You may bring in a 750ml bottle and I will transfer it into the required two 375ml bottles at no charge.

Use this link below to download the application, and get your wine to me by the new deadline of August 13th. I will be available Monday and Tuesday for drop off at Lakeland Winery.
