Hudson-Chatham Winery Vertical Tastings March through May

 

We at the Hudson-Chatham Winery are delighted to introduce and invite you to a series of very special events: Vertical Tastings of our wines. At each session, we'll do tastings of a particular wine through the years (see below for more information). This is a great opportunity to learn more about your favorite Hudson-Chatham wines and see how they're aging - and what you can expect from future vintages! 

Vertical Tastings of  Hudson-Chatham Wines Hudson-Chatham Winery is thrilled to offer guests three exciting afternoons of extra-special wine tasting. Each vertical tasting will feature several different vintages of the same variety offered by the vineyard.  Each tasting will offer a minimum of five vintages of the wine being poured, from barrel samples of the upcoming 2013 vintages to those we've cellared from our earliest vintages.  Guests will be invited to compare the difference between aged and "young" wines, as well as the unique flavors created in each vintage by different growing conditions. This tasting event illustrates how the characteristics of wine change with age.  Each vertical tasting will be enhanced with food pairings created by Blima's Catering. Attendance is limited to 20 guests for each tasting date.
