Join us on Thursday, July 23 from 6-8 pm for a wine tasting and talk with international renowned Heritage grape authority Stephen Casscles on the history of Heritage grapes bred in the Upper Hudson Valley.

Hear about different heritage varieties through the experiences of an expert as you taste historic 19th-century wines! Light refreshments will be provided. Following the tasting, guests will have the chance to explore our premier new exhibit, The View From Here, which explores 100 years of immigrant and migrant communities across Rensselaer county. Casscles will also be signing his book,"Grapes of the Hudson Valley and Other Cool Climate Regions of the United States and Canada", with copies available for purchase at the the event.
