I’m Lawrence Francis, Host of Interpreting Wine, welcoming you to the New York Grower 2023 Special Series. specially commissioned by the New York Wine and Grape Foundation for your listening pleasure. Across these 7 episodes recorded in Feb and Mar 2023 we’ll be exploring the modern New York grape growing scene in the company of 6 producers. Including a Deep Dive into the New York Wine and Grape Foundations’ Sustainable Vineyard Certification. Absolutely reflecting the most up-to-date realities of grapegrowing in the region. Given the level of listener and wider wine trade interest in quality grapes as the basis for quality wines, a series I’m particularly excited to share and a real landmark for the channel.
