Among my favorite stops at the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest is the stand operated by Rosina's Winery. Rosina's Winery is a family-owned and operated business founded by Michele Callisto. The winery is named in honor of his mother and daughter. The vineyard is located on 56 acres in the Hudson River Valley region, in Middletown.
The wine smells of cherry, dark plum, and bramble, with notes of earth. It has some lovely cherry and lingonberry on the palate and finishes with pepper and a little spice.
A small production wine, of great character. Perfect for chicken, pork, fowl, or pasta, this is a terrific food wine. And a great small find!
