Rip Van WInkle WIne & Cheese

The 2009 Rip Van Winkle Wine & Cheese event was held on May 9th, 2009, at the Beattie Powers House in Catskill last weekend, and it was a great susccess.


Numerous wineries attended, as the event went from four or five wineries last year to eight this year.

Participating wineries included:
Pazadar Winery
Hazlitt Winery
Brookview Station
Hudson-Chatham Winery
Cereghino Smith Winery
Warwick Valley Winery
Cascade Mountain

Live music was performed by "Lex Grey's Cabaret."

It was a warm and gorgeous day. Many big ships sailed past the historic mansion. A good time was had by all! Congrats to event organizers!

And thanks to D from Coach Farm who was a ubiquitous all round helper, especially as we were trying to help sell Coach Farm cheeses.
