A Burgundian Afternoon in Millbrook
 
The best of the Burgundy lifestyle (pinot noir, aged cheese, and fresh hearty bread) is now available at Oak Summit Vineyard. Sit and savor some Hudson River region, estate bottled, pinot noir. This multi-award winning wine has consistently been chosen best pinot noir in the Hudson valley.  It is refined, with an elegant finesse, and has delightful flavors of cherry, raspberry and cassis.

Poughkeepsie's Sprout Creek Farm Toussaint cheese is made from their own herd of Guernsey and Jersey cows, and has a sharp, nutty taste. The firm cheese is aged 8 weeks before it is served. Fresh cracked wheat Bastogne is the perfect accompaniment for these wines and cheeses, and is baked in brick ovens every day. You can meet the happy cows and goats that live at Sprout Creek Farm as well. It's located at 34 Lauer Road in Poughkeepsie; find directions at www.sproutcreekfarm.org
