Times Herald-Record Recommends Benmarl Baco Noir for Xmas


from the Times Herald-Record, December 03, 2006
A basketful of gifts you can only find here
From the inexpensive to the dear, unique presents abound in the mid- Hudson Valley and Catskills. 1 of 3 By Shawn Dell Joyce

How about a bottle of artisan-made wine from the oldest winery in the region, Benmarl Vineyard at 156 Highland Ave. in Marlboro?

For $25, you can get this year's version of the Cornell Cup winner "Best Wine of the Hudson River Region" in 2005; the Benmarl Estate Baco Noir. The wine smells hauntingly of cherry and nutmeg, tastes smoothly of vanilla, and ends with an oak spice flavor that's sure to be a hit at the holiday table. www.benmarl.com

There's a recommendation we can get behind.
