HUDSON VALLEY WINERIES: A VIDEO INTRODUCTION

 
The Hudson Valley is one of the fastest growing and most diversified regions of New York state. They have a number of highly acclaimed, award-winning wineries, and more cideries and distilleries than the rest of the state combined. The number of craft beverage businesses in the valley has doubled in the last five years. To this end, Taste Camp 2014 visited the Hudson Valley, and Todd Trzaskos made a series of videos covering the events. Taste Camp is a promotion by the New York Cork Report (in cooperation with Drink Local Wine) to promote mall regions from throughout the east coast. Wine and spirits writers and bloggers attend from all over the country.
This quick series of videos will easily be an excellent introduction to anyone interested in Hudson Valley wine.
