-----Original Message-----Jeff writes in defense of NY state wine: [snip]FWIW, within the wine industry it is normal practice to hold the threshold for issuing an award down at the level of getting the liquid into the bottle. The Orange County fair for instance, used to have over 1000 wines present and the wines that did not receive at least a bronze medal award could be counted on one hand [shudder]. As for freight car content, I am reminded of something in a Farrington book about wine grapes being shipped to NY vinters, ca. late 40's. Hungarian Tokays. Why would one ship the grapes and not just the juice? Dave Nelson
