The Upper Hudson AVA is an American Viticultural Area located to the north and west of Albany, New York. [1] [2] It is approximately 1650 square miles with nearly 65 acres of vines planted and 19 vineyards. It includes parts or all of seven counties in upstate New York, specifically Albany, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie and Washington.

History

The petition for the AVA was accepted as perfected by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) on July 30, 2015. On April 9, 2018 the proposed establishment of the Upper Hudson Viticultural Area was published in the Federal Register and removed from TTB's list of pending AVA's. From April 9, 2018 to June 9, 2018, the document was open for public comment. On December 6, 2018 the Final Ruling [3] was published in the Federal Register with an effective date of January 7, 2019.

Upon completion of the rulemaking process, TTB allows wineries in the AVA to use the term "Estate Bottled" or use the "Upper Hudson" AVA name on the wine label. [4] According to the TTB regulations Estate Bottled requires that 100% of the wine came from grapes grown on land owned by or controlled by the winery, which must be located in the viticultural area. The winery must crush and ferment the grapes and finish, age and bottle the wine in a continuous process on the premise.

Upper Hudson Wine Trail

The Upper Hudson Wine Trail legislation was passed by the New York State Senate and Assembly during the 2017 Legislative session. For the 2016-17 legislative session Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner, Senator Kathy Marchione and Wine Trail President Andrew Weber worked to get passage of the bill. It was signed into law by Governor Cuomo on August 21, 2017. [5] The process began in the fall of 2015 after the AVA petition had been accepted as perfected by TTB. During the 2015-16 New York legislative session the Upper Hudson Wine Trail Bill was introduced as A10609 and S8052 where it was passed by the Senate.

Regional Grapes

The principal varieties of grapes being grown and used in the winemaking process include Marquette and Frontenac for the reds and La Crescent and La Crosse for the whites. Many other varieties of cold hardly grapes have been developed by the University of Minnesota or the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. Some of these new varieties can withstand temperatures of -35F.

Climate

Upper Hudson GDD

The region has two major rivers running through it, the Hudson River and the Mohawk River. It is bounded by the Taconic Mountains to the east, the Adirondack Mountains to the North and West and the Catskill Mountains to the south. The defining feature of the region which distinguished it from the surrounding areas is Growing Degree Days (GDD), as shown in the chart. The Cumulative GDD chart displays data from 19 locations from September 1 to October 31. Being that the data is a three-year average, more than 10,000 data points are used. Those locations within the AVA are represented with dotted lines. Those locations outside the region are solid lines. The five temperature locations within the AVA and a location just outside the AVA (Schoharie) all lie in a grouping that plateaus at approximately 2500 GDD. The warmer locations along bodies of water have a greater GDD average and those areas in the various mountains surrounding the AVA have a lower GDD. The climate zones for the Upper Hudson AVA are predominantly zone 5A and 5B. [6] South of the city of Albany, NY and along the Hudson River is zone 6A. [6]

Geology

The Upper Hudson region is an area rich in geologic/tectonic activity. Over the course of history the Adirondack Mountains, Allegheny Plateau, Taconic Mountains and the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers all have been produced by this activity. These features are the results of different tectonic movements and these features have created the topography that make up the Upper Hudson region and lends itself to creating the distinct differences from the surrounding areas. Most of New York State is under laid by sedimentary rocks: sandstone, shale, limestone and conglomerate. This is due to the fact that for much of New York States geologic history it was under water. 475 MYA seas covered all of New York and most of the eastern half of proto North America. [7] During the Paleozoic era from 500 to 300 million years ago (MYA), very thick limestone deposits formed, nearly two thousand feet of sedimentary rock was deposited at the bottom of that ancient sea. Today those rock layers are visible in many places. Approximately 300MYA the tectonic plate movements that gave rise to the Allegheny Plateau and the Taconian Orogeny began to shape the region and began to create dry land. The Adirondack Mountains are a relatively new feature that was formed in the last 10 to 20 million years due to an uplifting or dome. [7] The Adirondacks continue to grow today at a rate of approximately 2.0 to 3.0 mm per year. [8] These three features along with the Hudson and Mohawk rivers give the region its characteristics. The second historic event is the ice sheets that advanced and retreated over the region numerous times, the Laurentide Ice Sheet. These ice sheets which at some time were more than 3 miles thick moved and deposited much of the overlaying soils in the region. They also changed some of the features developed from the much earlier tectonic movements and help to erode vast quantities of rock. They are the force that created the Finger Lakes. These ice sheet also contributed to the formation Lake Albany, a 160-mile inland body of water that stretched from Glens Falls NY to Poughkeepsie NY, but eventually drained.

Vineyards

The vineyards within the AVA include, Altamont Vineyards, Autumn's Harvest Vineyard, Capoccia Vineyards, Creek Haven Vineyard, Dusenberry Vineyards, Engle's Vineyard, Fossil Stone Vineyards, Galway Rock Vineyard, Helderberg 1839 Vineyard, Helderberg Meadworks, Hummingbird Hills Vineyard, Ledge Rock Hill Winery, MaCauley Creek Vineyard, Clover Pond Vineyard, Northern Cross Vineyard, Redstone Ridge Vineyard, Schernau Estate's Vineyard, South Dominion Vineyard and Victory View Vineyard.

Monetary Value

Market Size of New York's Wine Industry

New York's wine industry as a whole is quite significant, with the state ranking among the top wine producers in the U.S. According to the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, the state's wine industry contributes approximately $6.65 billion [9] to the economy annually. This includes all aspects of the industry, such as production, tourism, and related sectors. However, the Upper Hudson AVA represents just a small fraction of this total, as it's a relatively small and emerging wine region.

Wine Production and Revenue from Wineries

As of now, there are only a small number of wineries in the Upper Hudson AVA. Given the size of the region, most of these wineries are relatively small and produce limited quantities of wine. The average revenue for a small winery can range from $100,000 to $1 million annually [10] , depending on factors like the size of the vineyard, production volume, pricing, and market demand. Assuming that the Upper Hudson AVA has about 19 wineries, we might estimate their combined revenue to be in the range of $2 to $10 million per year—a rough estimate, but one that reflects the small scale of the AVA.

Tourism Impact

Wine-related tourism is a significant economic driver for New York wine regions, and while the Upper Hudson AVA does not have the same volume of visitors as the Finger Lakes or Long Island, it is still contributing to the local economy. The region benefits from its proximity to the New York City metropolitan area (a 2-3 hour drive away), which brings in visitors seeking wine-tasting experiences and local products.

The exact dollar value from tourism is not readily available for this AVA, but tourism in the broader Hudson Valley region (which includes the Upper Hudson AVA) is estimated to be worth over $5 billion annually [11] . Of this, a small percentage—possibly around $50-100 million—could be attributed to wine-related tourism in the Upper Hudson AVA, though the exact figure is speculative.

Land Value and Vineyard Prices

The value of land in the Upper Hudson AVA would also contribute to its overall economic worth. Agricultural land suitable for vineyards in the Hudson River Valley (especially the Upper Hudson area) can vary widely, but prices are generally lower than in more well-known areas like Napa or Sonoma. Vineyard land prices in the Upper Hudson AVA might range from $5,000 to $20,000 per acre [12] , depending on location, quality of the land, and proximity to key markets. The region could produce about 500 acres of vineyard land (a rough estimate), the total land value could be anywhere from $2.5 million to $10 million.

Estimated Economic Value of the Upper Hudson AVA:

Based on New York Wine & Grape Foundation [13] , Hudson Valley Tourism [14] and Vineyard Land Real Estate [15] sources and estimates:

and estimates:

Total Estimated Economic Value:

Taking all these factors into account (wineries, tourism, and land value), the estimated total economic value of the Upper Hudson AVA could be approximately $10-20 million annually. This is a rough approximation, considering the region is still growing and developing. As the AVA gains recognition, production increases, and tourism grows, this number could rise over time.

Yadkin Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) expanding across seven counties of northwestern North Carolina encompassing approximately 1,416,600 acres (2,213 sq mi) in the Yadkin River Valley. The appellation includes all of Wilkes, Surry, and Yadkin counties, and portions of Davie, Davidson, Forsyth, and Stokes counties. It was recognized on February 7, 2003, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Patricia McRitchie of McRitchie Associates, LLC, on behalf of Shelton Vineyards, Inc., Dobson, North Carolina, to establish the initial viticultural area within the State of North Carolina, to be known as "Yadkin Valley." At the time, there were over 30 growers cultivating approximately 350 acres (142 ha) and three bonded wineries with at least two others under construction.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Washington wine</span> Wine produced from grape varieties grown in the U.S. state of Washington

Washington wine is a wine produced from grape varieties grown in the U.S. state of Washington. Washington ranks second in the United States in the production of wine. By 2017, the state had over 55,000 acres (220 km2) of vineyards, a harvest of 229,000 short tons (208,000 t) of grapes, and exports going to over 40 countries around the world from the 940+ wineries located in the state. While there are some viticultural activities in the cooler, wetter western half of the state, the majority (99.9%) of wine grape production takes place in the shrub-steppe eastern half. The rain shadow of the Cascade Range leaves the Columbia River Basin with around 8 inches (200 mm) of annual rain fall, making irrigation and water rights of paramount interest to the Washington wine industry. Viticulture in the state is also influenced by long sunlight hours and consistent temperatures.

The state of Oregon in the United States has established an international reputation for its production of wine, ranking fourth in the country behind California, Washington, and New York. Oregon has several different growing regions within the state's borders that are well-suited to the cultivation of grapes; additional regions straddle the border between Oregon and the states of Washington and Idaho. Wine making dates back to pioneer times in the 1840s, with commercial production beginning in the 1960s.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Temecula Valley AVA</span> American Viticultural Area in California

Temecula Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the Temecula Valley, located in southwestern Riverside County, California against the eastern slopes of the Santa Ana Mountains. It was initially established by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury as "Temecula" on October 23, 1984 based on submitted petitions from by the Rancho Califomia/Temecula Winegrowers Association and Callaway Vineyard and Winery, Temecula, California in 1982. It was renamed "Temecula Valley" by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in 2004, approving the 2001 petition by Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association. The petition stated the name change would provide a more accurate description of the Temecula geography and greater clarity as to its location for wine consumers and the public. The petition did not request any change to the established AVA boundaries. This was the first American Viticultural Area to change its name after the initial approval. Temecula Valley encompasses 33,000 acres (52 sq mi) and 5,000 acres (8 sq mi) is located in a "protected" area referred to as the Citrus/Vineyard Zone. This area is generally located in and around the Rancho California Road area with Riverside County. County guidelines strictly enforce the number of acres needed to build a winery, lodging and other limited housing and commercial ventures.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Paso Robles AVA</span> Appelation that designates wine in San Luis Obispo County, California

Paso Robles is the third American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in San Luis Obispo (SLO) County, California. It was established by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury on November 3, 1983 based on a petition submitted by Martin Brothers Winery. The area encompasses 609,673 acres (953 sq mi) with approximately 18,500 acres (7,487 ha) cultivated with wine grapes known for their heritage varietal Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rhône-style wines.

Arroyo Grande Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in San Luis Obispo County, California approximately 12 miles (19 km) southeast of the county seat San Luis Obispo. Arroyo Grande Valley was recognized on February 5, 1990 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as the state's 60th AVA based on the petition filed in 1987 by Don Talley of Talley Vineyards and William S. Greenough of Saucelito Canyon Vineyard for the establishment of the "Arroyo Grande Valley" viticultural area in San Luis Obispo County. The 16 miles (26 km) long, approximately 67 square miles valley appellation benefits from its east-northeast orientation allowing the breeze from the Pacific Ocean to moderate the climate of the area. The valley is divided by a fog line produced by the cool maritime layer where Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Rhône varietals are grown on the higher elevations near Lopez Lake and the cooler mid-valley vineyards being home to Chardonnay and Pinot noir. On April 8, 2022, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approved the designation of the expansive San Luis Obispo (SLO) Coast AVA overlapping the boundaries of Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley viticultural areas because they share common features. However, these two previously established areas still have unique characteristics to retain their viticultural area distinctions within SLO Coast. Edna Valley lies immediately to the northwest, the Los Padres National Forest straddles the north leg boundary, the Santa Maria Valley AVA lies to the southeast of Arroyo Grande Valley, and the Pacific Ocean communities of Oceano, Grover City and Arroyo Grande abut its southwestern border.

It was established by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury on April 8, 2022, becoming the state's 143rd official AVA. The area encompasses over 480,585 acres (750.914 sq mi) nestled between the Santa Lucia mountains and the Pacific coastline stretching about 70 miles (110 km) from Ragged Point southbound on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Highway 101 to the outskirts of Santa Maria at the intersection of State Highway 166 and Highway 101. It includes the coastal communities of San Simeon, Cambria, Cayucos, Morro Bay, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande and Nipomo while encompassing the county seat of San Luis Obispo. The TTB approved the petition's two names, "San Luis Obispo Coast" and "SLO Coast", to identify the viticultural area's description and wine labeling. The term "SLO" is a historical and commonly used reference for the county and city initials as well as a description of the region's relaxed culture. The new AVA overlaps the previously established Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley viticultural areas. There are over 50 wineries and an estimated 78 commercial vineyards cultivating approximately 3,942 acres (1,595 ha) with a majority of the vineyards located within 6 miles (9.7 km) of the Pacific Ocean defining an area whose grapes and wines represent it. Cool weather varietals like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are commonly grown while lesser varietals Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Gruner Veltliner also thrive.
