| The view from Millbrook’s tasting room |
This past weekend was the yearly event TasteCamp which is held in a wine region on the Eastern side of the United States every year. I was thrilled when it was announced that they had chosen the Hudson Valley and the date was Columbus Day Weekend, the busiest weekend of the year.
The organizers The New York Cork Report’s Lenn Thompson and Drink Local’s Michael Michael Wangbickler chose this weekend and at first I thought, the busiest weekend of the year, but then it truly highlighted the best, the Hudson Valley during harvest.
I attended the events on Friday and could only attend Saturday evenings dinner at Tousey. I will go into detail later about each winery and the new things I learned. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the weekend.
