MEDIA STATEMENT
Scott Romond, Sales Manager of Osprey’s Dominion,
on Paterson Plan to Legalize Wine Sales
in New York Supermarkets
We here at Osprey’s Dominion Vineyards, Ltd. (family owned and operated) are against the
plan to expand the sale of wine in any retail outlet other than retail wine and liquor stores. We
feel that these retail establishments will not support New York farm wineries who neither have
the sales staff, product or distribution ability to reach these outlets.

There are many reasons why we are opposed to opening the sales ability to anywhere that beer
can be sold. The primary reason is that this will be bad business for New York State wineries
who have been making positive inroads in the wine industry with high quality products to non-
corporate, Main Street American businesses.

Scott Romond is the Sales Manager of Osprey’s Dominion Vineyards in Peconic, NY.
