New winery coming to old Rivendell site in New Paltz?


Jeremiah Horrigan reported in the Times Herald-Record yesterday that the owner of the property where Rivendell use to be plans to open up a similar facility. This is good for the valley but just slightly confusing. Harry Robibero, who owns the site that formerly housed Rivendell plans to open soon. Couldn't Robert Ransom and Susan Wine just stayed there? Confusing. Apparently neither Ransom nor Wine could be reached for comment. Robibero insisted the split with them was amicable.

Nonetheless, we should welcome Mr. Robiero, and feel better in knowing the region will not be losing the cherished site.

Meanwhile Ransom and Wine are continuing their fight to open the new site hey have planned for years, despite two losses in the courts.
