Nominate Our Winemaker Conor McCormack for a James Beard Foundation Award

If you're at all interested in the food and beverage business, you've probably heard of the James Beard Foundation Awards; they're kind of a big deal. The foundation is currently accepting nominations for their 2012 awards, and one of the categories is "Outstanding Wine and Spirits Professional." We would be eternally grateful if you would please take just a minute of your time to nominate our outstanding winemaker, Conor McCormack, in this category. Submitting a nomination is very easy—just register, click on the "Outstanding Wine and Spirits Professional" link, and then enter Conor's name.

Why should you nominate Conor? For starters, TWO of our first-ever wine vintages have already earned awards: our 2010 F.B. Riesling received a gold medal at the 2011 New York Wine & Food Classic, and our 2010 Batch 001 Chardonnay earned a double gold medal from the same organization! That's all thanks to Conor. And if you've ever tasted any of our housemade wines, you know just how good he is at crafting fantastic small batch wines.

The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2011 at 11:59pm EST. Thanks in advance for your support of Conor and Brooklyn Winery!
