Baldwin Vineyards On a Roll


Baldwin Vineyards in the Hudson Valley clearly does fruit wine right, racking up awards around the country for its luscious Strawberry Wine and Raspberry Wine. Most recently, Baldwin’s Strawberry tied for Best Fruit Wine in the United States at the World Value Wine Challenge sponsored by the Beverage Testing Institute in Chicago . Earlier this they won at the New York Wine & Food Classic, the same wine won Best Fruit Wine in the state for the third year in a row, and Best Specialty Wine for the second year. Last winter, the San Francisco International Wine Competition rated Baldwin’s Strawberry Wine the Best of Class, which essentially meant best fruit wine in America . While great by itself, the Strawberry Wine is also a fabulous topping for vanilla ice cream and even pancakes. Located in Pine Bush along the Shawangunk Wine Trail, Baldwin Vineyards is a small, family farm winery owned and run by Jack and Pat Baldwin, who have long been industry leaders in terms of cooperation with others.

Congrats to Jack and Pat and everyone else at Baldwin!
