  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  recognize  the
achievements   of  those  individuals  and  businesses  that  contribute
substantially to the economic vitality  of  their  communities,  thereby

producing New York State's Best Sparkling Wine in the 2023 New York Wine
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
showcased why New York State is a premier wine destination; and

  WHEREAS, Jason's Vineyard was planted in 1996, using only the finest
clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc
and Petit Verdot; and

the efforts of its dedicated owners and staff, whose involvement is, and
