Hybrid grapes have long been part of NYS (and the East Coast) wine-making history but until recently they have had little exposure on the “world-wide wine stage”. That fact is changing as these traditionally overlooked varietals are garnering attention and positive reviews from wine writers like Eric Asimov and Stuart Pigott.
Join us as we explore this distinctive category of grapes - what they are, their significance in wine history for the region and the world, and the renewed recognition of the emerging importance of these grapes to the future of wines. We will taste several wines made from a variety of hybrid grapes, as we consider the diversity of wine in today’s world!!
