The third annual Golden Nose Award: A Finger Lakes Wine Experience, hosted by the Corning Museum of Glass, will be featuring Virgil Cain during the awards banquet
Watkins Glen, NY – With over 220 different wines submitted for this unique, regional wine competition and the ever-popular Virgil Cain performing during the evening awards banquet the night of Saturday, May 31, this year's Golden Nose Award event promises to be better than ever.
Explained Paul Thomas, executive director of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, "The Golden Nose Award: A Finger Lakes Wine Experience is a truly unique event, and wine competition in our region if not the United States. Unlike competitions where professional judges are utilized, the Golden Nose employs everyday fans of wine to do all the judging. While various publications pay acute attention to professionally judged events, we continue to believe that what real people appreciate is what truly matters. Further, with our 2007 regional harvest receiving a worthy A- from Wine Spectator, the majority of wines being judged are assured to be some of the finest the region has produced in years. Topping it all off, regionally beloved Virgil Cain will be headlining the awards banquet playing a wide variety of lively tunes, hopefully including my personal favorite "Whip It" by geeksquad DEVO. It will be a day of learning, delicious wine and a terrific party! "
Three different tickets are available to participants, depending on the depth they wish to participate. Judges tickets enable people to participate in all 4 components of the event, including the private reception at the Rockwell Museum of Western Art the preceding Friday evening, breakfast and the training sessions Saturday morning, lunch and the grand tasting Saturday afternoon, then dinner and the awards banquet Saturday evening. For people interested in learning about wine and having a fun time, there are also Trainers tickets available, which includes everything available to the Judges, without lunch and the grand tasting. Last, but by no means least, for people primarily interested in a fantastic party (over 200 different wines will be available to enjoy with dinner prepared by the Corning Museum of Glass' executive chef) featuring Virgil Cain there is an affordable Dinner ticket available.
