Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur searching for a full bodied Meritage or a new wine drinker looking for affordable blends that are lighter on the palate, the 3^rd Annual New York Wine Expo will have what you are looking for…and so much more.

The New York Wine Expo (www.NewYorkWineExpo.com) will be hosting its third annual tasting February 26 through 28 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

French wineries and vineyards will have a significant showing this year, and as always, attendees can continue to look forward to Italian, German, Australian, and South American favorites. Not to be missed of course, local New York, Oregon and California wines. In all, the Grand Tasting offers attendees a chance to sample more than 600 wines from over 170 winemakers from around the globe.

“Every year the wineries have new blends and new regions they are sampling, making each Expo unique,” said Ed Hurley, New York Wine Expo Show Director. “It is a terrific opportunity to go beyond your comfort zone. You may be surprised at the varietals and blends you’ll want to try again, either at home or while dining out.”

Attend the Expo not just for the sampling, but for the learning experience as well. To date, seminar presenters will include Gloria Maroti Frazee, who oversees Wine Spectator School and Leslie Sbrocco, award winning author, and Founder of “Thirsty Girl” a brand new multi-media company focused on wine, food and travel.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
