A few years later, after apprenticing at nearby Millbrook Vineyards and also with Oregon's renowned Ponzi family, Richard was ready to start his own winery. With six vintages completed, an impressive number of medals, and another vintage ready for the bottle, that dream is a reality. Fully established with a reputation for high-quality, affordable wines that are delicious and food friendly, Alison Wines is expanding with popular strawberry and blueberry dessert-style fruit wines as well as great-tasting apple wines.

We are proud to be a New York State farm winery in our favorite place, the Hudson Valley. We take care that our wines reflect the special climate and growing conditions found in New York. Happily, this produces just the sort of wines that we love: complex enough to enjoy over and over, accessible enough to sip alone, and versatile enough to complement any meal. For us wine is about everyday enjoyment with food, with family, and with friends. We hope you find the same enjoyment with our wines that we do.

The word is The coffee is good, but before eating anything from a Dunkin' Donuts Store, you may want to check the Nutrition Catalog page on their website. Select a product (donut, muffin, etc.) and click to see the ingredients, including preservatives. Many cakes, cookies, and even sandwiches have a high calorie content, high saturated fat content, artificial flavors, and preservatives.

From the owner: "We feel very strongly in supporting local farms. When we can we buy our vegetables from Migliorelli Farms. Our ground beef and lamb are from Meiller's farm. We also support local breweries and small production wines and liquors. Everything is made in house from the breads to the desserts."

Restaurant Review

The word is Fabulous food, ranging from a selection of different kinds of burgers, traditional steak cuts, Select Market Oysters, Steak Tartare and delicious sides; ingredients are purchased from local farms with all dishes, from the bread to the desserts, made in-house. When the dining room is full, dine outside for fresh air and quiet conversation. Must try!

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
"Our Farm Share program is based on the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model. CSA is a mutually beneficial relationship between farmers and community members that keeps working agricultural land in production. Community members support the farm by purchasing a Farm Share before the growing season. In return, the farmer takes good care of the land while growing tasty, healthy food. The bounty of the farm is then returned to the Farm Share members, who receive a variety of fresh produce every week throughout the growing season."

Bit of History
The "Historic" Village Diner is significant as a distinctive example of early-twentieth century American roadside architecture surviving exceptionally intact from its date of manufacture in the 1920's. It embodies distinguishing characteristics of the type and period in its streamlined metal railroad dining car inspired design, which was intended to evoke, at once, the ideas of travel, food cleanliness and modern efficiency. The diner is additionally significant as a representative example of a Silk City Diner, a highly popular prefabricated dining car line manufactured by the Paterson Vehicle Company of Paterson, New Jersey from the 1920's to the 1950's. Moved several times to adapt to changing travel patterns, the history of the diner also recalls the growth and development of the regional transportation system during the early automobile age.

The word is Worth the wait on weekends for great coffee and delicious breakfasts served all day long.

The word is Good barbecue in a friendly relaxing setting.

The word is Fabulous Northern Italian food in casual atmosphere. May be a bit crowded, but the food is worth it.

". . . each of the 18 par-three holes plays beautifully. Water hazards and traps are numerous and add to the challenging experience. Kids love the waterfall, ponds, and stream continually running for the net to retrieve an errant put. Nature lovers are impressed by the wide variety of the lush landscaping. Our golf course is open from May through October, closing at dusk."

This 120-acre park is nestled in the region's famous National Historic Landmark District and offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge and Catskill Mountains. A visit to this property by Washington Irving is said to have inspired his classic story "Rip Van Winkle".

The park itself is buffered on all sides by 780-acres of private lands under Scenic Hudson conservation easements that insure the landscape's protection from development.

Attractions at Poets' Walk include two miles of trails through woods and open fields, magnificent setting for landscape artists, and rustic cedar pavilions.
