Hudson Valley Art & Wine is heading to Cornwall!

Posted on July 11, 2011 by

The opening celebration at Hudson Valley Gallery in Cornwall-on-Hudson is right around the corner! This is the third stop for our Hudson Valley Art & Wine exhibit, so be sure to save the date – Saturday, July 23 – from 5 to 8 pm.

The evening will feature live harp music, refreshments and wine tastings by some of the wineries that inspired the artist’s works. Come and see Barbara Rubin’s pieces inspired by Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery and sample their wines. The gallery’s owner, landscape painter Paul Gould, took his inspiration from Palaia Vineyards, just a few minutes away from the gallery. Wines from Palaia will be sampling as well. Meet other artists from the area who captured the beauty and spirit of the Orange County wineries – Jan Horton and Crista Pisano who painted at Applewood Winery, and John Laurenzi who painted at Warwick Valley Winery. Of course, the entire exhibit of paintings, pastels, photographs and sculptures will be on display and many of the artists will be on hand to discuss their work at the wineries. Many pieces are available for sale.

Join us for a spectacular evening in Cornwall and receive a complimentary crystal wine glass and gift bag too. Plan to spend some extra time – the opening celebration will conclude with a finale of fireworks compliments of the nearby Annual Fireman’s Fair!

Paul Gould’s Hudson Valley Gallery is located at 246 Hudson Street right on the Hudson River. The exhibit will run through September 5.

Let’s Celebrate New York this Saturday at Zachys!

Posted on May 12, 2011 by

Let’s Celebrate New York this Saturday at Zachys!

Saturday, May 14 | 12-4pm | In-Store

This month marks the Grand Event in Tarrytown, NY for the Hudson Valley Art & Wine Festival.

The celebration “pairs” professional Hudson Valley artists with select Hudson Valley wineries and vineyards. The jury-selected group of artists will be creating, in their own chosen medium, a wine- or vineyard-inspired artwork by partnering with a specific Hudson Valley winery. The event will be a partnership between Hudson Valley Wine Magazine, and Lyndhurst, a National Historic Trust, to benefit educational and cultural programs. Lyndhurst, overlooking the Hudson River in Tarrytown, is a premier example of American Romanticism that was born in the Hudson Valley, and that also found its expression in the Hudson River School of painting, America’s first recognized art movement.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

“The goal of this very timely, year-long celebration is to enhance the Hudson Valley’s recognition as a destination for art, wine and cultural experiences,” says Linda Pierro, managing editor for Hudson Valley Wine Magazine. “We will be promoting Hudson Valley artists, wineries, galleries, and historic sites to a wine- and art-loving audience through this year-long ‘Celebration.’” The Hudson Valley Art & Wine Festival

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

To celebrate this festival, Zachys is bringing the Hudson’s best to you! We recognize how important our local wineries are to the community and will have 3 local wineries IN STORE one week early for you to taste…

We will be pouring the wines from the Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville, NY with special guest Cesar Baeza, winemaster. They have been making wine for 170 years and is the oldest register winery in operation today! We will also show wines from the new Robibero Family Vineyard from New Paltz who have been living and transforming their wines since 2003. The third local estate will be Whitecliff Vineyards in Gardiner New York who according to the Wall Street Journal, “is turning out serious wines made with grapes from its own vineyards and others around the state” 8/10 WSJ. Taste New York…Support our local wineries!
