here’s no shortage of treats inside DeFilip-pis Italian Bakery and Café!

The Broadway, Monticello mainstay hasbeen giving the gift of good food for 27 years, andnow it’s even better.

“The café just took off,” says Carmela Foglia, whowith co-owner Angelo Foglia opened the break-fast/lunch destination this past August. “Peoplehave been very receptive. They love the soups,quiches and lunch specials.”

This time of year, DeFilippis is filled with Christ-mas cookies, decorated doughnuts and holiday-themed cakes. You can even find fresh, locally-cre-ated flower baskets!

“After the holidays, we want to start doing cup-cake classes for kids and sip ‘n paint classes foradults,” Carmela explains.

Don’t forget that DeFilippis is also the premierregional bakery (now serving NY-style water bagels,too), with its breads, rolls and pastries offered notjust in its own store but in shops spanning the Hud-son, Delaware and Susquehanna river valleys.

And with off-premises catering, Carmela and

company can come directly to your home orbusiness!

What keeps them innovating after more than a

quarter-century?“I have two

boys, ages 26 and21. They work forus now,” Carmelapoints out. “Wedid the expan-sion for them.”

So you can becertain DeFilip-pis will be readyto meet yourneeds – andappetite – formany more years.

Located at 506Broadway in the

heart of Monticello, DeFilippis is open 6 a.m.-7p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 6 a.m.-6

or those with a wine or liquorconnoisseur in their lives,Sullivan County has no shortage

of breweries, distilleries, and evenvineyards where holiday shopperscan find that perfect gift.

Catskill BreweryCatskill Brewery, located in

Livingston Manor, is an LLC made upof the three founding partners: RandyLewis, Ramsay Adams, and Kirt

Gunn, according to Lewis.Lewis said that this holiday shop-

ping season Catskill Brewery is “sell-ing growlers (a special container usedto carry fresh craft beer home from abrewery) in 32- and 64-oz. sizes, andeven Catskill Brewery apparel.”

As for his recommendation on theperfect drink this holiday season,Lewis says, “Our Dark Lager,‘Nightshine’ is a perfect beer for cold

Catskill nights. It is made with de-husked toasted barley, and is deli-cious paired with friends and food, oralone by the fire.”

Besides going directly to the CatskillBrewery at 672 old Route 17 inLivingston Manor, you can also findmany of their products in more than“61 restaurants and bars across theCatskills and Hudson Valley,” accord-ing to Lewis.

In fact, Catskill Brewery is holding aBoxing Day event on December 26from noon–6 p.m., featuring beer,

music and food.Catskill Brewery’s 2014 Holiday

“tasting” hours for are as follows: Tuesday through Friday 4-7 p.m.,

Saturdays 1-6 p.m.Wednesday, December 24 from 1–5

Year’s Day.

Bashakill VineyardsFor the discerning wine lover this

holiday season, there’s BashakillVineyards in Wurtsboro.

Owner/operator Paul Deninno hasyou covered with possibly the widestselection of quality wines in the area.

“I had a love of agriculture and

wine, plus commuting 180 miles to ajob I didn’t like made the decisioneasy for me,” said Deninno of open-ing Bashakill Vineyards back in 2008.

As far as the day-to-day operationsat Bashakill Vineyards, Deninno says,“I am a one-man show but I do havesome good friends that help mesometimes.”

Open only Saturdays from noon to6 p.m., wine isn’t all that’s on offer

over at Bashakill Vineyards, asDeninno relates: “We are only openthree more Saturdays – the lastSaturday being December 27 – butwe offer live music every Saturdayand will have some holiday winesales as well.”

And Deninno has a holiday drink inmind for his customers as well: “Wehave a holiday mulled wine madefrom our Blue Heron wine, cinnamonsticks, cloves, organic sugar and apinch of ginger then served warm,”he affirmed. “We also just got our

Farm brewery licenseand released our firstbeer for sale by theglass dubbed OpossumPorter.”

And you don’t have totravel all the way to Wurtsboro to geta taste of Bashakill Vineyards,because as Deninno says, “We canship wine, and we also have it insome local restaurants. Still, 90 per-cent of our wine is sold direct out ofour tasting room, of course.”

And, Deninno continued, “Patronsare welcome to bring food to ourestablishment, drink on premisesand walk our around our vineyard.”

Eminence Road Farm WineryThe motto of Eminence Road Farm

Winery is “Bottled Alive!”According to its website the winery

“makes small lots of dry table wine ina barn on using vinifera grapes fromsustainably managed Finger Lakesvineyards. All wine is fermented bynaturally occurring yeasts and bot-tled by hand, unfined and unfilteredwith the only addition being a mini-mal amount of sulfite for stability.”

Just over the Sullivan County borderin Delaware County, the winery is isoperated by Jennifer Clark andAndrew Scott and is open for tastingsand sales by appointment.

But the website warns: “Dear reader,before driving all the way out hereplease understand that we are asmall, mom and pop operation withan emphasis on quality wine produc-tion over tourism.

always happy to give you a tour andpour a few tastes. Also please note, wedo not make sweet wine.

“Eminence Road wine can also befound at local farmers’ markets aswell as fine restaurants andwineshops in the Catskills, HudsonValley, Manhattan and Brooklyn.”

mals to sun catchers, a dedicated con-fectionary truffle station, a largeYankee Candle selection, candy, toysand whole lot more, the Family DrugStore’s holiday gift selection musttruly be seen to be believed.

Besides its wide array of gift ideas,the Family Drug Store has a long his-tory for having one of the best holidaystore-window displays in the area.

“We have continued to decorate thestorefront windows for holidays as ithad been done while Mr. Motl ownedthe store,” explained Cohen. “We tryand add to or change things up andkeep current with decorations eachseason.”

According to Cohen, his wife Carla,who helps out at the pharmacy fromtime to time, is a big part of that mas-sive selection of gift ideas. Cohenrelated, “She has a big hand in thepurchasing of much of the giftware we

carry.”There’s even a gift wrapping sta-

tion, for the customer’s convenience.Last summer Family Drug experi-

enced an extensive facelift.“In May of 2013 we began a total

store renovation” said Cohen. “It wastime to update and improve thelooks and dynamics of the store.” Therenovation was capped in Septemberof 2013 with the completion of thestore’s new facade.

And Cohen is thankful to his manycustomers this holiday season:“Through the years, people havecome and gone through the manychallenges of this industry and pro-fession,” he offered. “I am thankful tohave been a service to them all. Iwish to thank all of mycustomers/patients, past and pres-ent, for their continued support ofthe local independent business that Ihave and I look forward to continu-ing to be of service to the people of

Sullivan County for years to come...Happy Holidays to one and all!”

The Catskill Art Society will pres-ent “The Snowflake Man,” anoriginal puppet show by Sarah

Frechette of PUPPETKABOB, at theCAS Arts Center at 48 Main Street, Liv-ingston Manor on Saturday, Decem-ber 20 from 2-3 p.m.

“The Snowflake Man” is a beautifultrunk show of Czech-style marionettesand props backed by a pop-up book ofwatercolor paintings telling the story of"Snowflake" Bentley. This utterlyunique show combines art with historyand science through live story-telling.

This story was inspired by Wilson"Snowflake" Bentley, a self-educatedfarmer and scientist who in 1885attracted world attention by adaptinga bellows camera to a compoundmicroscope – he became the first per-son to capture the image of a singlesnow crystal.

“When my grandfather was a young

boy, he purchased from ‘Snowflake’Bentley three snowflake photos,” saidperformer Sarah Frechette. “Mygrandfather’s pride in his photosinspired my idea for this show. At theheart of it, it is a love letter from me tomy late grandfather.”

“The Snowflake Man” was awarded a2011 UNIMA Citation of Excellence –the highest honor in puppetry. Thisshow is sponsored in part by a Cre-ation Grant from the Vermont ArtsCouncil and the National Endowmentfor the Arts.

She graduated fromthe University of Connecticut's Pup-petry Arts Program, mentored withGerman Master Puppeteer AlbrechtRoser, and created costumes for thestop-motion film ParaNorman. Learn
