New York oenophiles have a reason to rejoice as the First Annual New York Wine Expo takes place this Friday evening and Saturday afternoon at the Javits Center. (Sunday is a closed-to-the-public trade event.) This vino adventure is the younger sibling to the popular annual Wine Expos in Boston and Washington, DC. At the heart of the Expo is the Grand Tasting, which offers tipplers the chance to sample more than 600 wines from over 170 international winemakers in the cavernous convention center. But the Expo won't just be wild bacchanalia – it features numerous seminars on subjects like Argentinean Malbecs and the diversity of Long Island wines (March 7, 7–10 PM, $85 per person; March 8, 2–6 PM, $95 per person; seminars between $30–$35 per person; 655 W. 34th St.; for advance tickets click here).
