Applewood Winery Blog

Bounty of the Hudson was a BLAST!  Tasted so many great wines.  Hudson Valley really has it going on with their winemaking.  Hats off to Jason, Jeremy & Randi of WV winery for doing a great job on Bounty.  Michelle & Jennifer did a fantastic job and really enjoyed themselves (but not too much.)  They sold a ton of Stone Fence Hard Cider.

A Contractor was at the Winery yesterday and asked "Where do you get your flavors from?"  Now at first blush a winemaker might respond from the soil, the Sun and the weather.  But then I realized this fellow was being quite literal.  He thought that flavors were something you purchased and put into the wine like a margarita mix.

I recently sat down with Debbie Giaquindo "The Hudson Valley Wine Goddess" (Wow, a real goddess!) who has her own blog  http://hvwinegoddess.blogspot.com/and answered a few questions for her.
