Below are the results from the HVWGA Wine Competition 2013! Special thanks to Michael Migliore, President of HVWGA and special thanks and congratulations to Debbie Gioquindo, the Hudson Valley Wine Goddess, for conducting the event, with great judges and a smooth, well run, professional competition.
The event drew lots of dignitaries, from Lt. Governor Duffy of New York state, to Jim Trezise, President of the NYWGF, to media types like Janet Crenshaw of The Valley table, and wine writers like Diane Letulle, and many more.
