I had a nice chat with Adam Levy at the NYSA late last week - sounds like they are being very supportive of new distillers (especially those distillers on the east coast). They are spreading the word about encouraging artisan distillers to enter NYSA this year. The exposure in the NY market itself sounds like it would be great regardless of competition outcome.
Thus, I thought I'd spread the word to ADI brother & sisterhood about this. If anyone has questions/concerns about the NYSA entry fee - they should reach out to Adam directly at adaml@nyspiritawards.com
Fyi - deadline is 5/22.
Otherwise, nice meeting many of you at ADI last month in Alameda!
Cheers,
Holly
