About Wine & Spirits Magazine’s Top 100 Tasting
W&S has invited some of the 100 wineries who’ve performed at the very top of our tastings for a night of food, wine and celebration. The evening offers a chance to taste a vast array of exceptional wines, as well as an opportunity to meet winemakers face-to-face.
OUR MISSION
Our Top 100 Tasting is a benefit for NY/NJ Baykeeper, an organization dedicated to maintaining the health and integrity of the waterways that feed New York and New Jersey’s food and wine industry.
We hope you will consider contributing to the cause by joining us at our Annual Top 100 Tasting in NYC.
