Women for WineSense, Watkins Glen International Continue Partnership, Wine Festival Enhanced Seminars

Watkins Glen International is once again pairing up with the premier wine education and networking organization for industry professionals and aficionados, Women for WineSense. For the third consecutive year, the partnership will include enhanced seminars at the Finger Lakes Wine Festival presented by Yancey’s Fancy New York’s Artisan Cheese, coming to Watkins Glen International July 13-15.

The seminars, which include ‘90+ Point Club of the Finger Lakes’, ‘Sparkle in the Finger Lakes’, ‘The Science of Food and Wine’ and ‘Riesling, the Queen Bee of the Finger Lakes’, will each take place in the media center at Watkins Glen International, Saturday and Sunday. Additional information including a full schedule of enhanced and free seminars is available at www.flwinefest.com.

“We’re proud to partner with Women for WineSense for the third consecutive year for this year’s Finger Lakes Wine Festival presented by Yancey’s Fancy New York’s Artisan Cheese,” Watkins Glen International President Michael Printup said. “The seminars continue to be a great addition to the weekend’s events, and we can’t wait for our guests to see what is in store for them in July.”

Women for WineSense believes that wine enhances and enriches everyday life, and provides men and women with unbiased information about the cultural heritage, social and health effects of moderate wine consumption as part of a healthy lifestyle, since 1990.

“We treasure our partnership with the Watkins Glen International team,” Donna M. Schlosser-Long, President of the Finger Lakes Chapter of Women for WineSense said. “It has been a great experience bringing the wine education piece to the event.  Each year we have improved our content to make each seminar an even more educational and entertaining session.  We are looking forward to seeing all the friendly faces again this year.”
