Albany - the Capital District - is the political center of New York State; whose two leading industries are agriculture and tourism. Two of the high-value products that garner much attention for New York agriculture are our grape and wine production, and some of the main tourism attractions in the State are the wineries and vineyards. We would like to encourage all New Yorkers to become more familiar with these important pieces that make up part of the diverse quilt of New York, and to introduce visitors from around the world to the products available.

   Wines from New York are served in the Governor's mansion (not to mention the White House), and will enhance any special occasion you may be planning. But don't forget that a quiet dinner with family can sometimes be the most important occasion of all!
