First Press Board Chairman Edward L. Plotkin, V.P. of MidFirst Private Bank (https://www.midfirstprivatebank.com), has worked diligently to attract this year's exceptional vintners and wine makers.

He continued, "Attracting winemakers such as Dan Kosta of Kosta Browne Winery and Brian Loring of Loring Wine Company speaks volumes to what we are bringing to the local wine community. These are people who have developed a rock star following and I am pleased they have chosen to support First Press."
