  • Support small businesses, including over 85 wineries, distilleries, cideries and breweries across New York;
  • Promote New York Products; and
  • Connect with over 1,000 attendees.

NYSLSA President Tom Edwards said, "We are proud to showcase and promote Governor Cuomo's Taste NY initiative at the NYS Liquor Store Association's 5th Annual Holiday Tradeshow. NYSLSA's partnership with Taste NY exemplifies the successful partnering of our small businesses. We look forward to our continuing our partnership with the Governor and his Taste NY initiative."

NYSLSA will also be awarding a door prize of $1,000 to a selected attendee at both the Albany and Rochester events who turn in a 2014 Holiday Tradeshow entrance ticket.
