Truth or Fable
Opus 40 Sculpture Park & Museum
Saugerties, New York
“This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land” I am immediately humming this Woody Guthrie folk song as I walk through Opus 40, a nonprofit sculpture park and museum deep in the Hudson Valley in Saugerties, NY. On this 60 acre property, artist Harvey Fite created a living legacy, sculpting a blend of the local quarry and ancient Mayan and Aztec stonework.

That I may wrap them In a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.”

No. 1
Benmarl Winery
Marlboro, New York
With sweeping vistas of the Hudson River Valley, Benmarl Winery holds New York’s winery license Number One. For a New Yorker that may be enough to boast about, but while there you’ll want to toast this 37 acre estate which is also the oldest vineyard in America.

Then I have consumed two bottles.”
