Wm. Farmer & Sons Barroom

The wine list at Wm. Farmer & Sons arrives with the same warm, unhurried energy as the barroom itself — copper tones, wood beams, Hudson Valley farmhouse all the way. It's not trying to be a wine destination, but it's clearly not an afterthought either. Forty to sixty bottles, curated with intention, skewing Old World with a few confident California detours.

The list leans Euro-centric with enough range to keep things interesting — think French classics alongside some well-chosen domestic bottles from producers who actually mean something. Domaine Weinbach Riesling showing up here is a genuine signal that someone on staff has taste and isn't just filling slots with distributor defaults. Scribe Winery and Bedrock Wine Co. round out the California contingent with real credibility — Bedrock's Old Vine Zinfandel in particular is a serious selection, not a wine you see on lazy lists. The gaps are real: South America, southern Europe, and anything remotely adventurous are largely absent, but what's here is chosen deliberately.

Around a dozen options by the glass in the $12–$17 range is respectable for a mid-size Hudson Valley spot, and the pricing doesn't punish you for ordering a second round. Rotation and program depth aren't fully documented, but the bottle list suggests the glass pours are probably getting the same level of care. We'd love to see a more aggressive BTG program, but this holds its own for a barroom setting.
