Dinner Raises More Than
$20,000 For Lab
FAIRPORT, N.Y. New York oenophiles popped their
corks celebrating earlier this month when a ’99 bottle of Pinot
Noir from a Finger Lakes winery went for
more than $ 1,000 during the Fifth Annual
Wine Country Auction to benefit the Cor
nell Vinification and Brewing Technology
Laboratory at Geneva.
“It’s another sign that Finger Lakes reds
have arrived,” said Scott Osborn, owner of
Fox Run Vineyards in Geneva, N.Y. “The
’99 reserve Pinot was one of the best Fox
Run has ever made. I’d wager it is also the
highest price ever paid for a five-liter bottle
of New York state wine.”
Harris Wilcox and his son Craig auction
ed 39 items to raise more than $20,000 dur
ing the benefit for the laboratory, at Casa
Larga Winery in Fairport, N.Y. Items at the
auction included a mixed case of ’99 Merlot
and ’99 Cabernet Sauvignon from Shales
tone Vineyards, the opportunity to blend
and taste sherries with wine
maker Glenn Curtis at Widmer’s, a case of
Gold Medal selections of ’OO Rieslings from
Dr. Frank, dinner for four at Red Newt
Winery, and others. All of the items in the
auction were donated by New York wine
ries, breweries and associated industries.
The money raised in Friday’s auction was
augmented by $224,000 in funding from last
year’s state budget that was secured by
members of the New York Legislature, some
of which will go to the lab.
