Classic by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation on July 13, 2023; and

WHEREAS, As a result of hard work, knowledge, diligence, and
dedication to the art of winemaking, Jason's Vineyard's 2021 Bubbly
Rose, North Fork of Long Island, was named Best Sparkling Wine in the
2023 New York Wine Classic by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation; and

WHEREAS, Seeing an unprecedented growth over the past few years and
allowing wine enthusiasts to enjoy this unique part of the New York
experience across the state, this extraordinary vineyard has truly
