Decanter Fine Wine Encounter tasting at The Landmark Hotel!

Some takeaways from the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter tasting at The Landmark Hotel!

I manned the New York wine stand with Kelby, awesome winemaker of @apollospraise, and as you can see… people could not get enough of NY wine especially the Riesling.
