A new store opened at LaGuardia Airport last week.

Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy helped cut the ribbon at Taste NY in Delta Airlines Terminal C that sells products made in New York state.

From wine, spirits, beer and cider to chutney, jam, sauces and pickles, all the products are grown or made in-state.

“More than 25 million people passed through LaGuardia in 2012,” Duffy said. “That’s a massive audience for the great products of Taste New York.”

The store is part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s initiative to promote state food and beverages around the world. Other Taste NY stores will open in airports, train stations and transit hubs throughout the state next year.

The store is jointly operated by Delta Airlines, Brooklyn Oenology Winery and OTG, the airport’s concessionaire.
