We were very fortunate to have had an opportunity to sample specially selected wines from Hudson Valley Wines region.    Carlo Devito author and owner of Hudson-Chatham winery hand selected some of the region’s highly acclaimed wines and ciders for the AWS Meadowlands team and guests to enjoy.      

The selected wines reflected this region's unique and wonderful characteristics.  What a HIT!

Selected Whites:
True Thirst Hard Apple Cider made at Brotherhood in Washingtonville, NY
Hudson-Chatham Seyal Blanc Block 1 2013
Tousey Chardonnay 2013
Whitecliff Chardonnay Reserve 2013

Selected Reds:
Tousey Pinot Noir 2013
Hudson-Chatham Baco Noir Old Vines 2013
Millbrook Cabernet Franc 2013
Whitecliff Estate Cabernet Franc 2013
Hudson-Chatham Empire 2012
Brookview Station Estate Frontenac

Hudson Valley has the ideal geography and conditions for growing a variety of grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot and a fantastic Baco Noir which are expressed wonderfully in these wines.   

It was a very successful tasting, prompting much interest in visiting the area in the spring and summer to sample more of these wines.  I provided additional web site links below.    Please note, these are also available at various local stores.   

Now you know that you don’t have fly out all the way out west, just take a short day trip to Hudson Valley Wine Country instead to visit up to 40 local vineyards. 

Special Thanks to:
Carlo Devito for the selection and presentation.
Diane and John of “Make Wine With Us” for their hospitality.
Danny Klein - American Wine Society - Regional Vice President
