Statement by the State Board President:

As stated on the homepage of this site the New Mexico Vine and Wine Society is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Its mission is to connect NM wine enthusiasts, wine and grape growers and the wine industry through education, promotion, and enjoyment of NM Wines. We do this through two primary means. We sponsor and manage the New Mexico State Fair wine competition, and, through our three chapters, we conduct educational events, wine tastings, and public outreach. See the page on the New Mexico State Fair for information on supporting and entering the competition. For information on public outreach and education check out what each NMV&WS Chapter does.
