Yesterday was interesting. Fallbany hit the SUNY Albany campus and I had a chance to visit their farmers market in addition to the beer tent. I also happened to arrive just as Kristi Barlette was judging a hot dog competition, and by the end of the day I devolved to heckling one of the chefs giving a cooking demonstration.
There will be more time to talk about all of these things tomorrow.
Today it?s time for a feature that has been dormant for a few weeks. You may remember it as Sell Out Sunday. It?s the day that I post all the collected press releases from the past week and share them with you all. There is actually some interesting and timely stuff, including one that ends today. So let?s stop this dilly dallying and tell you what you need to know.
Today Go Taste Local Hard Cider Paired WIth Local Cassis
HUDSON VALLEY CASSIS MAKERS CELEBRATE CIDER WEEK!

More than 20,000 bottles of cassis are produced each year! But the Hudson Valley is also home to one of the largest cider producing regions in North America as well. In an effort to help promote CIDER WEEK (October 12- 21, 2012), and in cooperation with the Hudson Valley cider makers, the cassis producers are announcing the HUDSON VALLEY CIDER KIR ROYALE!
A Hudson Valley Cider Kir Royale is a fabulous way to enjoy the fall scenery, and is an exceptional way to start off your holiday season!!! What better way to get your friends and family into the holiday spirit than to pour four parts Hudson Valley cider with one part Hudson Valley cassis!

All three wineries pour their own ciders and make their own cassis. They will be pouring tastings this Saturday and Sunday October 13 and 14, 2012.

Cider Week celebrates hard cider by featuring it prominently in restaurants, bars, and retail shops. Nearly 100 top restaurants, bars and merchants in New York City and the Hudson Valley participated in 2011. Cider Week was launched by Glynwood, a non-profit agricultural organization in the Hudson Valley, as part of their larger Apple Project to enhance the viability of orchards by supporting the production of cider apples, hard cider, and apple spirits.

All of these are hand made wines, crafted by gifted artisans, and experiencing explosive growth. Word is getting out.

Win Free Fish From Ted?s Fish Fry (Watervliet)
My name is Deanna Deeb & I am the Marketing Manager at Ted?s Fish Fry. I recently came across your food blog & was wondering if you would be interested in blogging about a special contest that Ted?s Fish Fry is promoting. If you do not know Ted?s Fish Fry, we are a local family run business which has been around for 65 years. We have 5 locations in the Capital Region & take pride in our family business. My grandfather, Ted Deeb started the business, and now my father, brother & grandmother are continuing the legacy.
For the first time ever, we are giving away a free fish fry to one lucky winner throughout the entire month of November.
The contest rules are as follows: Contestants must ?like? our page on Facebook, which is?www.facebook.com/tedsfishfry. The next step is to look for an old photograph, which was taken of my grandfather Ted, over 30 years ago & was placed in a magazine. Contestants must ?like? & ?share? the photograph to be entered into the contest. The have from Today, Oct. 12, 2012 until Friday, October 26, 2012 to ?like? & ?share? the picture.
At the end of the 2 week period, I am going to randomly select one of the names of our facebook fans who both ?liked? and ?shared? the photo. I will announce the winner on Saturday, October 27, 2012 on our Facebook page. If the winner does not claim their prize within 24 hours of the announcement, a new winner will be selected.
The winner must redeem their free fish fry in our Watervliet location, and must present their photo ID each day they come in to receive their free fish fry. Drinks, side items, & any other menu items are not included.
I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get to promote this special contest! It is very rare for any restaurant in the Capital Region to give away free food for a month, and we want everyone to know that we are doing this!
I thank you in advance, and please feel free to e-mail me any time with any questions or comments you may have!
Thanks again,
Deanna Deeb
