With four editors from four different regions of the state, trying to
crowbar this tasting into the holiday season has proven impossible, so the final tasting for the New York Cork Report 2009 Wines of the Year has been rescheduled from December 30 to January 23.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that this delay opens up the possibility of including some wines from the Chautauqua - Lake Erie region and will give us an opportunity to taste even more Hudson Valley wines before choosing those finalists as well. 

The rest of the details surrounding the tasting and project remain the same.
