Silly question, perhaps but what does it mean that as a courtesy they will pick up your wine? Is this only for people in NY or only those near Rochester or what??

 

[Jack7033]

Yes
They offer that service for those in the Rochester area. Sorry I did not make it clear.

Is this only for commercial wineries or can home wine makers enter (I am looking at the entry form that requires the name of the winery)? .
