North Country wine and chocolate pairing

Screen shot 2016-08-30 at 12.41.56 PMSeptember 13 is a big day in Upstate New York. It's the anniversary of the day in 1609 when explorer Henry Hudson and his crew found their way into what became known as the Hudson River.

Oh, and it's International Chocolate Day.

I don't know whether anyone will be celebrating Hudson's arrival, but I do know a number of wineries will be marking the day with wine and chocolate pairings. One example is at the Adirondack Winery which is teaming up with Barkeater Chocolates to offer a special wine and chocolate flight in the tasting room from Friday, September 9, through Tuesday, International Chocolate Day.

The flights will include five Adirondack Winery samples paired with five different chocolates from the North Creek candymaker, and a souvenir wine glass to take home. Flights are $14 per person. While no reservations are required, you can purchase flight tickets in advance online.

Adirondack Winery is located at 285 Canada Street in Lake George. Phone: 668-9463.
