The results of the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition were recently released. As I looked over the information about this competition, I was impressed with a unique aspect of it. Not only do the participating wineries benefit especially the winners, but  another winner is the Camp Good Days and Special Times, Inc. This organization is a nonprofit camp offering a camping experience on Keuka Lake. The weeklong camping experience is for children whose lives are affected by violence, cancer and HIV/AIDS. Adults with cancer have the opportunity to participate in weekend camping programs.

Congratulations to the wine industry for supporting those in need!

Cheers, Kathy
