Myth #1 All dessert wines are the same. We will explore the differences between Ice Wines, Iced Wines, Dessert Wines and Late Harvest Wines - from grape selection to processing, what are the differences between ice and iced and why – all myths will be de-bunked! Guest speaker: Mark Patterson Standard Ticket $55 Wine Lovers Club $45	Myth #2 Terroir doesn't matter. We will be tasting wines from the current Viticulture Regions of New York – Long Island, Hudson Valley, Finger Lakes, Niagara Escarpment and Lake Erie Region. This seminar will include blind tastings and you will leave an expert on understanding the differences between the NY regions and most importantly the whys. You will be able to identify where the Pinot Noir and Riesling came from in New York and not just by taste. Guest speaker: Jon Link Standard Ticket $55 Wine Lovers Club $45	Myth #3 Corks are Best. We will explore all the alternative closures – corks, synthetic corks, boxed wines, screw caps, wine kegs and more. What impact does the type of closure have on the wine, if any? What is the current industry standard and where is the industry heading? What is the standard in the Finger Lakes and why? What are other New York Regions doing? Is there a trend developing? What state is leading the controversy and why? Guest speaker: Holly Howell Standard Ticket $55 Wine Lovers Club $45

Myth #4 White wine pairs with fish/fowl and red wine with meat. We will explore the rules of white wine and red wine food pairings. Where did the myth begin? Are there rules? Is it personal preference? Guests will learn the secrets to wine and food pairings. The dinner served is an integral part of the seminar. Guest speaker: Holly Howell Standard Ticket $55 Wine Lovers Club $45	Myth #5 Points - Really Matter. This seminar will focus on each of the rating systems used by national experts and national wine magazines. Where did the point system originate and why? Are there standards and if so, why? We will explore different wines and their ratings plus blind taste several recent national winners and discuss their ratings in depth. Guest speaker: Lorraine Hems Standard Ticket $55 Wine Lovers Club $45	Myth #6 Norton is Gone. Among the two dozen or so grape species native to North America, only one has proven itself capable of good dry table wines. Its scientific name is vitis aestivalis, and its best representative is becoming increasingly well-known once again. This seminar will focus on the history and current status of the beloved Norton grape. You will be surprised how history impacted America’s native grape.
