Scott & Cecile have lived in the Hudson Valley for over 10 years and have traveled extensively in French wine country. European wines were the focus for this bunch recently, but now local (shop local everyone!) wines are the focus in the Hudson Valley. We have gone very deep into vintage Napa Valley tastings as well and Scott has grown fond of wines from Georgia (not the US state!) and especially Agiorgitiko wines from the Peloponnesian peninsula in Greece.
We have a few key connections, for anyone looking to build or just start a cellar, that will make stocking up with amazing wines less expensive. The Hudson Valley just had a great vintage in 2024. As a friend at a local winery recently said, “this hot fall has been a calamity for some but a blessing for Hudson Valley Reds.” When Cab Franc is ripe in the valley, we all can expect great things to follow. Here is a preview of the recent 2024 Hudson Valley harvest below. Waiting for this to hit shelves will be a long wait.
While we miss our cellar in France, we are focused on the wines we find in the Hudson Valley and are just amazed at some of the wines coming out of this region.
We look forward to promoting the best hidden gems of the Hudson Valley Wine world and local vineyard experiences!
