Drink-local Next week is Regional Wine Week 2009 over at DrinkLocalWine.com and of course the New York Cork Report will be participating.

The organizers have contacted more than 50 bloggers and writers from around the United States and Canada (who aren’t in California or the Pacific Northwest) to write about “wine from around here” — wherever “here” may be. 

Many of the participating writers will be featuring local wines in their work next week, but it's easy for the NYCR to participate in this now-annual event — we write about local wines every single day.

Largely, we'll just continue with our regular programming here, but there may be a few added things to make our focus even more local and shine a light on New York wine even more next week.
