EDIBLE MANHATTAN LOVES HUDSON VALLEY CASSIS
Amy Zavato wrote a wonderful story in the July/August issue of EDIBLE MANHATTAN entitled THE CURRANT’S SCOND COMING about the success of cassis in the Hudson Valley. The Hudson Valley is fast becoming known as the New Burgundy for its bright, minerally whites, soft, medium bodied reds, fresh farm house ciders, and cassis.
The thick, intense berry wine with the tart finish has sold out every year!
On the Hudson Berkshire Beverage Trail we’re especially proud of that, because three of the wines featured in the article come from wineries on our trail! Congrats to Brookview Station Winery, Hudson-Chatham Winery, and Tousey Winery! Come on out on the trail and try some of this delicious new wine that’s capturing the imagination of so many!
Today, with more than 12,000 bottles produced in 2011, the Hudson Valley is the largest producer of artisanal cassis. Estimates range as high as 15-20,000 bottles for next year.
