I Love NY – Part 1

In my work on my documentary about the wines of New York, Paul Brady got us an interview with John Dyson, owner of Millbrook Vineyards.

John is also the guy who is responsible for the Farm Wine Act, which legalized winery tasting rooms in New York and has since become a model for other states on how to implement tasting rooms statutorily.

He is also responsible for the I Love New York tourism campaign. I have video of him explaining how it came to be. I’ll put that up later once I finish an edit I like.

But for now, here are today’s pics.
