2. Hudson Valley Wine Country
3. History of the Oldest Wine Region in America
4. The French Hugenots planted the first vines in New Paltz (now
part of Ulster County) in 1677, 100 years before any vines were
planted in what is now California. 5. 1827, Quaker RobertUnderhill,
who had established a self-sustaining community at Croton Point,
planted grapevines brought from Europe. Although Underhills attempt
to cultivate these vines failed, that didnt stop him. Over the next
two decadeshe cross-bred native and European vines and the results
paid off - grapes with wonderful flavor growing on vines hardy
enough to survive in this climate.
