Wine Time!

The weather was perfect for our event at Sabba Vineyard on Sunday, August 30th.  While the sun slanted over the hill offering a break from the seemingly unrelenting heat of the summer of 2020, laughter and conversation rippled across the open fields as the members of the Hudson Champlain Porsche members caught up after months of quarantine.  

Usually, conversations at these gatherings run more to cars and upcoming events, but this time owner, vintner, and artist Abby Youghabi shared information about his wines and the inspiration for his artwork that graces the surrounding fields. Some members chose to do the wine tasting, which boasts a full six types of wines—two whites (Riesling and Chardonnay), three reds (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon), and an ice wine. Others sipped slowly as they took in the day.

Although Sabba Vineyard has only been open a couple of years for tastings, the farm has been up and running since 2012. A few years ago, Abby decided it was time to open a tasting room, so he decided to convert his horse barn, which is now decorated with an eclectic mix of art and wines.

If you weren’t able to join us for this great trip, take a ride out to see what it’s all about. You will not be disappointed. Sabba Vineyard is open Fridays and Saturdays from 3 pm – 8 pm, Sundays 2 pm – 7 pm or any time by appointment. Thank you so much to Ken Blass for setting this up!
