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.
