Bounty of the Hudson a Success

The Bounty of the Hudson Festival, recently held at Adair Vineyards, was hailed as a success by local press and by participating wineries. The only thing hotter than the sales, was the weather.


Doug Glorie said, “This is my first one. I’m not sure how it rates with the others, but we’ve been very happy with our sales.”

“Saturday was hot, and there was no breeze,” said Susan Wine of Rivendell. “But it was busy. It was very good. And today was busier than we thought it would be. Very good. We’re very happy.”


Stephen Osborne and Kimberly Wagner made their debut with their Vidal Blanc. Stephen was very enthusiastic about the festival. “I think this has been great,” said the enthusiastic vintner. “I always love these things.”

All complained of the heat…but were buoyed by the experience and the crowds.

On Sunday, several bands entertained the crowds and a slight breeze flowed through the tents and across the lawn.

Hats off to those wineries that braved the weather and put on a good show for the merry samplers.
