Hudson-Chatham Winery Moving Into May

 

 

This photo was taken last year on May 9, when growth in the vineyard was much farther along due to the very warm spring. Not this year!! But we know we're getting there, and hopefully we won't have a late frost like we did last year, which wiped out our primary bud growth. Mother Nature does what she wants to do! May is always a month of wonder, though, as things blossom and grow and the days get warmer and warmer. We're looking forward to the new growing season in the vineyard (and the raspberry and blueberry bushes), and our line-up of activities in the tasting room, including the Wine & Cheese Pairing classes, our Mother's Day weekend celebration, the Gourmet Gardening evening with Cornell Cooperative Extension (May 15), and the month's crowning event, the Hudson Berkshire Wine & Food Festival! We'll also be at the Rip Van Winkle Wine & Cheese Festival at the Catskill Point on May 11, as well as Foodstock in Callicoon, NY, on May 11.
