The 4th Annual New York Wine Expo 2011: Now With Cheese and Foie Gras

The folks behind this growing operation known as the New York Wine Expo have been busy for the last 12 months trying to step their game up. And I think most attendees can agree that they definitely have their work cut out for them. I mean you can't really go wrong when you provide over 760 wines to sample with 190 wineries from around the world. But with a price tag like $90-$100, people expect magic. Last year, the delicious fancy grape drinks were plentiful but there was nothing else going on. This time around the sponsorships made their presence known in more ways than one. And for everyone's benefit.
Along with the Cotes Du Rhone, exotic bottles from Spain, and even ones from China, there were also plenty of food vendors sampling the kinds of cuisine whose flavors were only accentuated with a nice glass of red or white. There were a couple of companies who brought an almost endless supply of foie gras and other sorts of duck meats cooked in a variety of ways. The better one is Hudson Valley Foie Gras with only had one guy behind the counter (I think it may have been the vice president of the company), who single handedly served a neverending line of people. We just couldn't get enough of the grilled duck fat, prosciutto, and duck bacon. There was also a Dutch Cheese vendor who served Rembrandt aged gouda, some guys who brought their version of snow crabs, a stand for a concentrated cacao chocolate bar called Brix, and even an avocado truck that served salad and drinks. But there was simply not enough food to upstage all the hundreds of wines that lined the big hall. There were numerous aisles that covered different parts of the world from Italy to Canada. My absolute favorite was a Portuguese wine called Quinta de Gomariz made from the loureiro grape variety.
Like any wine appreciator in this city who has attended, or plans to attend, the New York Wine Expo, I am very excited to see where this event will go. With every passing year it's just getting larger and more popular. It may not be the Catelina Wine Mixer, but for the organizers behind the bottles, the only way to go from here is up.
