HOMESPUN 232 Main Street, Beacon, NY and the Cafe at the Dia : Beacon This is what talking to a sommelier sounds like. We will let Joe describe this wine in his own words. Before we do, make note that as of now, Homespun is really only open on the weekend (Thursday - Sunday) so buy your wine, beer, and cookies now. Dine in for lunch and dinner. Here's Joe in his own words about this weekend's featured bottle: "Les lendemains qui chantent... the tomorrow’s that sing... ‘Le temps des cerises’... The time of cherries... a French song that was a metaphor regarding what life will be like after the revolution will have changed social and economic conditions to create fairness and prosperity for all. Here’s to you.
