Cider Mill Press is publishing The Hudson River Valley Reader edited by Edward C. Goodman, to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson. And for the first time ever a wine produced by the award-winning Hudson-Chatham Winery, named Hudson River Valley Red 2008, is being simultaneously released as part of a licensing effort. This is the first time a wine has been licensed from a book.

The Hudson-River Valley Reader is a book that combines the history of the river as well as literary gems from such Hudson Valley literati as Washington Irving, John Burroughs, and many others.

Hudson River Valley Red 2008 is a light-to-medium bodied dry red table wine made from grapes grown in the Hudson Valley. Made from DeChaunac, Seyval Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is versatile and smooth, and is great with poultry, fish, or vegetarian meals. Also, a great accompaniment to pasta.

“We are proud to be a part of the Hudson Valley. There has never been a better time for artisnal foods and wines in the Valley. And we are always thrilled to celebrate the valley’s literary and artistic achievements whenever possible. We are proud to be associated with Cider Mill Press and especially with the Hudson River Museum,” said winery co-owner Carlo DeVito. “We are always happy to promote the valley whenever possible. It’s a great place to live and vacation.”

“Cider Mill press is proud to be associated with the Hudson-Chatham Winery, a small independent organization, to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of those who explored the Hudson River Valley 400 years ago. We're very proud of our commitment to local publishing and quality product,” says John Whalen, founder and publisher.

Commemorative book and wine gift sets will be available at $30.00 from the winery. Please call 518 392 2598 or email info@hudsonchathamwinery.com


Cider Mill Press is a small, independent publisher located in Kennebunkport, Maine. From seed to harvest, Cider Mill Press strives to bring fine reading, information, and entertainment together between the covers of creatively crafted books.

Hudson-Chatham Winery is located in Ghent, NY, and is Columbia County’s first winery. Located on the former Brisklea Ayrshire Dairy Farm, the winery is nestled between the Catskill and Berkshire mountains. Carlo and Dominique DeVito make an array of award winning wines, as well as 100% natural maple syrups under their Sugarmaker’s Reserve label.

The painting Hudson River Scene by John Bunyon Bristol (1826-1909) is courtesy the Hudson River Museum, located in Yonkers, New York. The Museum collects 19th- and 20th-c. American art and cultural, social and historical material related to Glenview, the Museum's historic house, and the wider Westchester County/Hudson River Valley region. Though the Museum's collecting focus has evolved over its 84-year history, the trustees and staff have always been concerned with the institution's value and relevance to the surrounding region and its residents.
