My wine of the week is from Millbrook Winery in the Hudson Valley. Their Tocai Friulano appealed to me when I tried it for the first time many years ago and still holds my interest. Fruity but dry with nice mineral notes and crisp acidity, I thoroughly enjoy this wine.

I love the Hudson Valley and always have. I spent many a summer as a little kid and adolescent at camp in the Valley. It was such an important part of my life that my camp friends and I still get together, all these years later.

This photo was taken a few years ago but more or less we look the same and still see each other. I was lucky enough to be in the Hudson Valley today and am always thrilled by its beauty.
