The Hudson Valley made a great showing in tonight's James Beard Foundation awards -- the "Oscars" of the culinary world.
WineWise -- written by a trio of professors at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park -- won best beverage book. Authors included Michael Weiss, who has been wines columnist for Hudson Valley Connoisseur magazine for the past three years, Steven Kolpan, wines columnist for the Valley Table magazine, and Brian H. Smith. Congratulations to all!
Also, Westchester County chef Dan Barber won the prestigious Outstanding Chef award. Way to go!
