Rochester

摘要

For many years, Rochester, NY was the de facto address for the American Wine Society (during Angel Nardone's tenure as executive secretary). And it was in 1967, near Hammondsport, NY that a group of some two hundred wine enthusiasts gathered at Dr. Konstantin Frank's vineyard on Keuka Lake for the AWS' initial meeting. So it seems fitting that the 2011 National Conference (Nov. 10-12) is returning to Rochester and New York, back to the future and better than ever. During this year's conference, FredFrank, president of Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars will provide the inside story on the early days of AWS and the 50th anniversary of his winery. Peter Mondavi Jr. will also be on hand to present a library tasting of Charles Krug Vintage Select Cabernet, going back to 1966! The wines of Chianti Classico will sponsor a lunch and the wines of the Finger Lakes and the rest of New York state will sponsor the Welcome Reception.
