The New York Wine & Grape Foundation

The New York Wine & Food Classic has become known as “The Oscars” of the New York wine industry. The 21 judges include wine writers, wine educators, retailers, restaurateurs and other experts from around the State and country. The results of this competition get enormous publicity, which can lead to enormous sales.  In order to make sure the "Classic" is updated and meeting industry needs, we are asking you to contribute feedback to the short survey below.
