WARWICK — There were comfortable evening temperatures as guests enjoyed the 20th annual Taste of Warwick on Tuesday evening, Sept. 9.

Approximately 210 tickets were sold and guests had a choice of outdoor seating on a 4,000-square-foot patio or mingling with friends in the huge tent while sampling gourmet dishes and wine. Everyone also enjoyed the music of the E'lissa Jones Band and its multi-talented singer and songwriter.

Each year the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce holds A Taste of Warwick as a showcase of the region's best restaurant chefs, caterers, markets, florists and wine merchants. The event takes place on the picturesque grounds of the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery.

And, as the Taste of Warwick highlights local cuisine, it also contributes to a sense of community.

This year was special because the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce was celebrating 20 years of hosting this popular event.

The Chamber's Executive Director Michael Johndrow thanked the owners of the Warwick Valley Winery and Distillery and the sponsors for their generosity all these years and also singled out The Landmark Inn and Peck's Wines and Spirits for having participated every year since the event was first held.

"We also appreciate all of those who participate and who take time away from their own businesses to make our annual Taste of Warwick a success," he said. "And we urge everyone in our community to support them."
