Anyone going to the third annual Golden Nose event http://www.goldennose.com/ May 30 & 31 in Corning, NY? Put on by the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Sounds like a grea weekend of wine, food and music! Also, the event is held at two great museums.
But its also a one of a kind event. If you buy the judges ticket (which I have) you spend Saturday morning getting trained by winery owners and winemakers on wine tasting and wine judging. Then you taste Finger Lakes wine all afternoon on judging teams and score the wine.
Saturday evening a great banquet with the awards given to the wines judged in the afternoon.
Past reviews sound great!
Not many tickets, so consider early.
Let me know if you are going?

That's how they win so many awards!
