Quality Certification Systems?

[glenora]

Jordi--

The are no wine quality certification systems in place in New York. The industry has never been able to agree on one, although there have been several attempts at the same over the years, and thankfully the government has stayed out of it.

A good starting point for more information on viticulture and vinification in New York would be Dr. Thomas Henick-Kling at Cornell University-- e-mail at th12@cornell.edu

Thomas heads Cornell's vinification lab and can point you towards others who can provide viticultural information--most likely Dr. Robert Pool.

Good luck, also I am curious as to why a Swiss Hotel School student has an interest in the New York wine and grape industry
