HV winemaker/author at Homebrew Emporium

Casscles

Stephen Casscles, a winemaker and author of "Grapes of the Hudson Valley and Other Cool Climate Regions of the United States and Canada," will be visiting the Homebrew Emporium in Rensselaer on Saturday for a book selling/signing and wine tasting.

In addition, Casscles will be available from 2 to 6 p.m. to talk about winemaking, and will have several wines from the Hudson-Chatham Winery for sampling.

Casscles plys his winemaking trade at both Hudson-Chatham and his own boutique operation in Middle Hope. If you're looking for a stocking stuffer for a wine lover this season, I can recommend his book highly. You can check out my review of it by clicking here.

The Homebrew Emporium is located 470 North Greenbush Road (Route 4) in  Rensselaer. Phone: 283-7094.
