Clinton Wedding Site Rhinebeck Just One Jewel of Hudson Valley

Rhinebeck, the 324-year-old New York State town where Chelsea Clinton staged the overhyped "wedding of the millennium" July 31, is certainly a gentrified charmer these days, with its bistros and Victorian architecture. But apart from being the area where I grew up (in pleasant and not-quite-so-twee Red Hook, part of Rhinebeck till 1812), the rest of the gently rolling Hudson Valley in which it's centrally located is also a trove unto itself,… Continue

Mancation – A Man’s Vacation in Washington Wine Grunge

Once again, I am on the road and looking for interesting things to do while participating in wine tasting (good activity) and less enjoyable shopping.

What a change, but life marches on and I just try to keep up these days.
