Big news from Millbrook Vineyards & Winery.

Congratulations to David Bova on his retirement after helping shape Millbrook into one of the Hudson Valley’s most respected wineries, and congratulations to Ian Bearup on being named General Manager while continuing his role as Head Winemaker.

Ian brings a serious winemaking background to the role, with experience across California’s Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast, Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and New Zealand.

He will now help lead Millbrook’s day-to-day operations while continuing to guide the wines, from vineyard decisions through fermentation, blending, and bottling.

A well-deserved next chapter for both David and Ian, and an exciting moment for Millbrook and Hudson Valley wine.

Last week, we met with Richard A. Ball, Commissioner of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, to assess the damage caused by the April 21 freeze event, which impacted nearly all fruit growers across the Hudson Valley.

While it is still too early to determine the full extent of the damage, we are grateful to see local and state officials staying engaged and working to understand the challenges farmers face year after year.

Happy Mother’s Day from the Hudson Valley Cabernet Franc Coalition.

Today, we raise a glass to the mothers, grandmothers, stepmoms, mother figures, and every woman who helps things grow with love, patience, strength, and a little bit of magic.

The Hudson Valley is home to beautiful vineyards, passionate growers, and incredible wineries producing Cabernet Franc with real regional character.

Today is the perfect day to slow down, visit a member winery, enjoy the view, and toast to Mom with something grown right here in the Hudson River Region.

If you’re in the Hudson Valley this weekend, please know that all of the farmers are still reeling from the freeze overnight Monday into Tuesday.

Everyone had losses, and it’s too soon to determine the full extent of the damage.

Here’s Dan checking one of our Cab Franc blocks.

MEET THE MEMBER!

Millbrook Winery

26 Wing Road, Millbrook, NY 12545

In 1982, after some successful plantings of vinifera grapes on his father’s farm in Millbrook, New York, John Dyson purchased the 130-acre Wing Dairy Farm for his first vineyard and winemaking venture.

The southwest-facing slopes of the former dairy farm with its gravelly soil proved excellent for viticulture, and in 1983 the first plantings of Cabernet Franc and other vinifera grapes were made at the site of what is today Millbrook Vineyards & Winery. In 1984, John Graziano was brought on board as the winemaker.

Millbrook Vineyards & Winery’s 35 acres of vines include seven acres of Cabernet Franc plantings.

They produce several varieties of medal-winning Hudson Valley Cabernet Franc, including a vineyard-designated Block Three East Cabernet Franc, and a Proprietor’s Special Reserve.
