In Kingston, NY

BRUNETTE Looking for a tipple in the Hudson Valley on the neglected west part of the river? Kingston, baby. That’s where Jamie and Tracy Kennard have opened a long-weekend-centric wine bar that can serve you a glass of Saetti Rosata Dell’Emilia for $14.

According to one friendly spy (Sabine Hrechdakian, partner in New York’s favorite cider restaurant, Wassail): “I was too distracted to take proper notes. We had a dog, so we had to sit outside. But, the wine list is full of interesting bottles. We had a great Jolly Ferriol rosé that could not have been more perfect for fall.”
