Owners Patty and Jeff Novo have a special affinity for homeless animals, often fostering stray kittens and cats. Patty names each, for a distinguishing characteristic, a noted racehorse or an irresistible wine, and provides a loving home until they can be adopted. Whether known for a day, a week or a lifetime, every pet is endeared forever.
Friday’s tasting featured Ironweed Whiskey, distilled in downtown Albany’s Quackenbush Square, as well as a popular selection of dry rosé wines, perfect for summer sipping after the rains clear.
H.O.P.E. is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting abandoned, orphaned and neglected animals. Since they do not have a shelter or facility, volunteers often care for the pets, seeking permanent owners to adopt them.
