Thanks for visiting us at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest last weekend

It was wonderful to see so many old friends and meet all you new ones at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest this past weekend at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY.

This is my 2nd year as a vendor at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest and it was a much better experience than last year. Mother Nature provided a picture perfect day on Saturday- it was warm and sunny and not a cloud in the sky. If you were there this past Saturday, you know how busy it was! I hope everyone who wanted a sample was able to get one. It was a bit of a challenge to keep up with the demand for samples. Sunday was more cloudy and cool but it was still a pretty busy day. The wine was flowing and the crowd both days was lively, friendly and fun. I purchased a bottle from our vendor neighbor Heron Hill. Their Semi-Sweet Riesling is truly delicious! There were many other NY state produced wineries with wines that were very, very good. I invite you to post a comment about your finds and favorites.

A big "THANK YOU" to my awesome cousins- Jeazette Lalchandani, Shaliza Thomas and Adhalia Lalchandani for their help staffing the booth and beyond. I love you guys! Couldn't have done the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest this year without you.

We had a really great time at this year's Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest but we're still recovering. It was a lot of work to prepare, set up and pack up and 2 very busy days. I've shared a few pics below. I was hoping to snap more pictures of the weekend but it was just too busy at the booth.

If you purchased one of my gourmet products at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest , I invite you to post a comment about the meal you made and tell how it paired with the wine(s) you purchased at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest .

Thanks again to you all for your ongoing support! Hope to see you at my next event.
