Well, raise a glass if you knew New Jersey's got more than five dozen wineries and vineyards in this week's road trip. Close to home news, twelve's Britney Miller takes us for a wine tasting. Unlike any other wine country. Isn't it breathtaking? The rigid rows of vines? The sweet smell of growing grapes. Wow. Look at this. And if you're thinking this is Napa, think again. So we still have some nice cluster. These wines are made in New Jersey from Lambertville to Robbinsville. The garden state is home to more than 60 wineries and vineyards. Otto Angelico owns Angelico's winery. You've been doing this for quite a while. You're saying you were fifth generation. I'm trying to do the same thing that my ancestor did in the past and when you pick them, you just snap them here harder than it looks. We grow 13 different grapes on our property. We probably make 17 or 18 different wines from those including Pinot, Grigio Merlot and working dog wineries award winning Cabernet Franck owner Mark Carer started harvesting in early September. Of course, you have to grow the grapes. We have bud break in the spring and they quickly become clusters of grapes by June. We're picking in September and October and that's when the work begins. Here we go. It's raining grips. So we, oh it's so crunchy stomping on the grapes. We're stomping on the grapes. Get the juice is flowing. Gonna make one. It's gonna be so fun as we're stomping the grapes. This is like a workout. Even though technology has changed the smashing grape game, the process is the same squeeze the juice ferment it in these tanks or barrels and drink up, but it may take a while. It can be anywhere from six months to two years. Madeline Cozine is a vineyard manager and says, what makes Jersey wine different is the climate we have South Jersey where they make some amazing bordeaux varietals and then you can go all the way up to North Jersey where they're playing with Austrian varietals like Riesling and Black Frankish and Gruner Veltliner. These homegrown wines have become internationally known and the fastest growing division of agriculture in the state. New Jersey has become a force to be reckoned with. Cheers to New Jersey Wine. Brittney Miller News 12.

For nearly 100 years. Pasco's farm has been in trouble in this week's road trip. Close to home news, 12 photojournalist, Laurie Goliath shows us how four generations later the family is still passionate about maintaining the town's rule charm. We're kind of like it when it comes to farms in Trumbull these days. Well, my grandfather started our original farm in Trumbull in 1921 and in 1925 it became known as Plass Farm. So now we're pretty much the last operating farm, you know, in Trumbull. And we're kind of proud of that. This is a great place to bring the family because of all the different activities that you can do and everything here is family friendly, picking pumpkins. Olivia, getting ice cream playing in the corn maze, doing the hay ride. We've been doing a corn maze here now for over 25 years. This is actually the 26th corn maze that we've done sits at about four acres every year. We try to change the theme a little bit. If you see any of these little hammers in there, it's a pirate adventure corn maze and the game is a mystery treasure hunt game where you help all of the farm and mas find the hidden treasure that pirates buried on the property. So there's a, you get a game card where you actually scratch off based on a bunch of hits that you actually get on the game card to win points. And at the end of the game, we tally up all those points. Whoever gets the most points wins a free junior soft serve ice cream. We have ice cream. It's an ultra premium homemade ice cream that's made fresh here every single day. We call our ice cream actually ultra premium ice cream because we use only the finest ingredients. So we have a couple of special Fall flavors that includes Fall pumpkin apple cider doughnut ice cream. And we have a temporary flavor that's pumpkin cheesecake. We like to do different cheesecakes throughout the year. And then of course, you have your chocolate chip and your cookie dough and your cookies and cream. We also have a cafe where we do espresso drinks and in just about any drink you could possibly imagine, you know, drip coffees. We do, we do cappuccinos, we do lattes. So we have fresh baked muffins and scones and bagels and croissants in the cafe. We also do homemade pies again, everything is fresh every day. So we do tea breads and uh various things, but the doughnuts are definitely a big uh a big hit this time of year especially in the fall. So we are open year round for both the ice cream and the cafe. Uh but for this time of year especially, it's, it's truly a fall field. You know, we're not the largest farm around, but we try to get the most out of what we have and in terms of offering of pumpkins and hay ride. Perfect. Uh It's just a great fall experience that I think folks are really enjoy, enjoy Fall family fun at Plas Farm and Palacos Farm creamery and cafe is open year round. They'll also be hosting a vintage car show on November 5th. After that, they get out the Thanksgiving pies and begin selling Christmas trees. So for more information on all that fun, head over to news 12 dot com.

Well, get ready for a really fun ride on this week's road trip. Close to home news, twelve's Nikita Ramos is taking us to the Autobahn indoor speedway in West Nyack. If you've got the need for speed, take that with you on this road trip. Close to home Autobahn indoor speedway at the Palisade Center is where the thrill of the chase comes to light at up to 50 MPH. We do everything from random walk ins and league night where you can compete for a grand prize of $10,000 at the end of the season. All right, if that sounds a little too intimidating for first timers like me. Don't worry, this is the perfect place to get started because no driver's license is needed. We got everything from 8 to 12 year olds in our junior cars. They go a little bit slower and then from 13 above in our adult carts, um, at high speed, it's all based on your experience. We control the race for your safety to see how well it's going. And then up to speed based on your performance as you go along and that safety is key everyone goes through a briefing before the pedal hits the metal. Keep your hands and feet in the car all the time. Don't go reaching out. Then you're off to the races and it's all about your speed here. A good laugh can face you first and the finish line when the checkered flag waves and you still have gas in the tank. How about a round of ax throwing the coaches here will help you hit that bull's eye in West Nyack Nikita Ramos News 12.

It's just before noon on a beautiful day in Lower Manhattan. Cherries are very big and these chefs are hard at work on one in demand delectable creation. We're making about 500 a day. Um And yeah, we're still selling. We are actually first in line because we got here early and it wasn't until 12. 1 day. There was just like a huge line outside and I thought yeah, should come by and try some. But what sort of viral treat are these dozens of people lining up for this time? Meet the Supreme. It's a filled and glazed croissant. We have three flavors. Uh One's always in rotation monthly and then chocolate and pistachio. So the chocolate is made with a Cremo which is basically like a custard, mixed with a ganache, two types of chocolate, one milk, one dark, the pistachio. Also, we're doing two different types of pistachio for the filling. It's a pastry cream, nice and creamy executive chef at Lafayette Grand Cafe and Bakery tells us baking these buttery bad boys is no easy feat. They've been proofing since 3 a.m. So when we, the team comes in at six, they're ready to be baked. Um So they go right into the oven, they're quickly cooled and then we're, then we're filling and glazing them. Um After that first drop is done, the 8 a.m. drop. Uh we go right into production. So that's basically two teams, one's working on the dough and one's working on the all the filling uh glazes and decoration a three day process that he says is so worth it. And the proof is in the pudding. I always joke. It's like I did not become a chef to become famous. There are easier routes to become famous, I think and famous. He did the flaky Fresh treats have gone viral on social media and have garnered crowds from all over the world. One patron coming all the way from Texas on a very special day. That's actually my birthday today. And so this is like my breakfast brunch on my birthday, a professional baker herself. This birthday girl got her wish from where I'm from. We don't get anything like this. And so it was very exciting. I mean, the best thing as a chef is when someone really enjoys what you made. That's, that's the highest reward you can ask for. Oh my God, you guys delicious. OK. Remember three drops a day, 8 a.m. 12 o'clock in the afternoon and 4 p.m. an insider tip for you be sure to get here an hour or maybe even two ahead of the drop in the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and finish this off camera.

This former working farm dating back to the mid 19 th century makes the perfect place to step back in time. Take in some art and enjoy the changing seasons in this week's road trip. Close to home news, 12 photojournalist, Laurie Goli takes us to West. It definitely makes history come alive. The Western History and Culture Center is located at 104 west road in Western Connecticut. We are in the Coley House. It dates back to 18 41 when it was built by David Diamond Coley. We have reinterpreted the home inside to reflect what life was like during the 19 forties during the World War Two era for the last three generations of the Coley family. This historic home is the only historic house museum in Connecticut that reflects life during world war two. So you'll get to see some very interesting appliances. You'll get to see rotary phones, typewriters. You'll also get to see a radio which will be playing different news clips, different songs and news bulletins and programs from the 19 forties. It, it almost gives you goose bumps because when, when we take people on the tour, we really try to get them to understand that real people heard these news bulletins for the first time. The Coy House Tour has activities for all ages. We have interactive components for, for Children and for adults alike. Not only can you come and experience the Coley House, but we also have an exhibit in our visitor center called Weston Illustrated Penned, painted and sculpted. Weston and Westport became a haven for artists that wanted either a different place to live from New York City or a summer weekend retreat. And on your visit here to the Western History and Culture Center, you can explore the beautiful art that was created here in West by world famous artists that lived here in the first half of the 20th century. We also have beautiful grounds where families can come, enjoy, spend an entire afternoon, not only experiencing history but experiencing art and some beautiful, beautiful scenery. And when the leaves start to change, it's a magical place to come and spend an afternoon.

For local matters. I'm Phil Tit. Now we are on storm watch. I'm here with Storm March team, meteorologist, hope oil. I mean, I hope this rain has really been giving everyone a run for their money. But the temperatures also, we're going to see a dip dip there. Yeah, a 20 degree drop in temperatures. So it's just something that we all really need to prepare for. So we are starting our evening with temperatures in the upper fifties, low sixties. This is what it's gonna look like around 11 pm, mild gusty storms and then by five o'clock tomorrow morning, 43 degrees, even though that the rain is coming to an end during the second half of your morning commute. A chilly gusty wind. It is going to make it feel even colder out there throughout the day on our Monday. Now, we have that flash flood risk, a slight risk. So scattered flash flooding is possible over parts of our area, we've already seen at least a quarter to half an inch of rain reported over parts of our area. But again, the brunt of the storm will start pushing into our area around dinner time. 8:09 p.m. It's gonna be a mess to be outside. So if you can avoid hitting on the roads, that is gonna be a good idea. So this is around 8 p.m. It's still mild temperatures, upper fifties, low sixties and we're seeing some steady and even even heavy rainfall even through the overnight and taking us into your Monday morning. 5:06 a.m. The steadiest rain is still going to be with us. Lighter showers closer to 7:08 a.m. But look at those temperatures, upper thirties, low for that cold gusty wind. It is going to allow feel like temperatures to be in the mid to upper 30. So that's something that we need to prepare for. Now, even from Monday night after the storm moves out of here, the the skies will clear and temperatures will be falling to the mid thirties, but we'll be waking up to feel like temperatures in the twenties. So that is something that we need to prepare for for Tuesday morning and look at those temperatures in the low to mid 40 through the majority of the week. And then we start to rebound just in time for the week.

HVFORECAST

We remain on storm watch as this storm bears down on the Hudson Valley in Westchester right now. Meteorologist Julian C Wright is here. So Julian, what's the timing for when all of this is really going to be a big impact for people? So the good news is, is that throughout the Hudson Valley Tama, it hasn't been a real big issue as of yet, but the problem is as we get closer towards the dinner time hour, we are looking for things to start to intensify for many of us. So getting straight into what we can expect fact again, mainly dinner time and afterwards is when we're looking for a bit more heavy rain and for the winds to start to increase where we could see between 30 to 40 MPH gusts and that'll be from tonight's going into our early Monday morning which could result in some power outages or for areas that have been into those over saturated grounds where we could see some trees that have been knocked over, especially older trees as well. Here's a look at what we got in terms of our flood watch. Now, the flood watch in effect is gonna stick around until we get into our Monday morning. How much rain we're gonna be expecting is mainly close to around two inches throughout much of the Hudson Valley. But we could see areas like Putnam and parts of Dutchess and even four parts of the Westchester areas. We could be pushing closer to that three inch mark, especially if you're closer over towards the sound. Overall though, we are looking for this to be again, a bit of a mess that will be sticking around for us by the time we get into the rest of overnight. So here's a look at what we have as of right now, this abundance of rain, a very vast storm system is continuing to push its way up across the east coast. Now, we have windy conditions that are mainly off to the east, but those winds will start to pick up more as we get into the rest of tonight. So as of right now, it's for them about the next hour or two, we are looking for a bit of some light breakage in that rain for parts of Orange County and even Putnam into the southern parts of Ulster count as well. So we could see once again, a little bit of that rain starting to dwindle out, especially over towards Westchester, but it has been consistent light rain as we're going into this evening. So just be prepared for that rain to start to pick up a bit more, but since we are on to the lighter end, we haven't seen a whole lot as of right now. But visibility and the rain itself that we've seen, especially over towards Tarrytown. We've had reports where visibility has been very, very poor from fog and from the rain that's been falling. So if you can definitely don't try to go outside if you don't need to. But as we get past dinner time, that's where we're looking for a bit more of that heavy rainfall from 7 to 9 o'clock is we're expecting to see that rain to really be heavy and continue throughout the rest of tonight. So if you could even hear that heavy rain going in from the overnight carrying into our early Monday and walking through the hour by hour, we're looking at five hour periods of potentially seeing that rain just be heavy for us, which is where we're gonna be seeing the most accumulation of rain from overnight into our early Monday morning. Now, the wind speeds again are going to be varying between 20 to 35 MPH, maybe even 48 MPH gusts for some areas. A quick look at how much rain we could be expecting. Again. Another two inches is possible. Some areas maybe even three. But once we're all set and done with this by Monday afternoon, it's mainly going to be breezy and also quiet. All right, Julian, thank you. For that update. We will check back in with you shortly and.

And of course, the clear weather help with that launch, but you're not going to find that yet. Tomorrow, the skies will clear after some early showers in the morning and maybe even some wet snow. So right now, this is it, we're in the thick of it. It's going to be picking up the rain that is from this point on again. And after eight o'clock, some of those steadier downpours will be right back. So visibility is really poor out there. Roads will be wet. Flooding is a good possibility right now as this rain picks right back up again. So more flooding into tomorrow morning and the strongest winds are going to be around this evening. So that's where we could have some power outages and even some, some minor damage out there. So for tonight, temperatures are going to start to cool, but we're holding in the forties into tomorrow 40 days. That's it. And those winds will make it feel much, much cooler, will definitely feel the chill waking up by Tuesday morning. But here's a look at the extended forecast. Temperatures are back to normal. It's a dry week until next weekend and that's a look at your forecast storm watch brought to you by PSE.

LIFORECAST

Now picking back up where we left off, this is how things are panning out for us across the island as of right now, not seeing a whole lot of widespread heavy rainfall though just south of Port Jefferson, we are looking for a bit more of tents of rain pockets as we continue throughout the rest of tonight. But the rain itself is starting to spread more towards the east end, which wasn't seeing a whole lot of rain earlier into this afternoon. But as we continue throughout the rest of tonight, the entire island is going to be looking at a lot more rain as we continue throughout the overnight, going into our day morning. Now, here's a few numbers of what we've collected so far from radar estimations near two inches of rain for the western side of Suffolk County and for much of Nassau County between 1.5 to 2 inches of rain. Now, what this means over the last hour or several hours or so is that a lot of our streets have been resulting in kind of flooding or even hydroplaning for many of us who are trying to travel along the lie or into the residential roads as well. So the streets themselves are not really the best conditions and they're not gonna be improving over the next several hours though. We are looking for a bit of a dry spot after five, between seven o'clock. But once we get towards eight and later, we are looking for another batch of rain to stay consistent overnight. And on top of it, it's going to be heavy once again as well. So here's a look at not only the rain but the wind because we also are looking at that to be the double whammy of an effect for us overnight. Especially once we get closer to a round 10 o'clock, we could be seeing gusting winds around, I slip and much of the east end between 40 to 50 MPH overnight, going into our Monday morning. So again, for now, going into around seven o'clock, it's gonna be our best opportunity to not be seeing those heavy pockets of rain. But once we're past eight o'clock from Huntington to Smithtown and Rocky Point, a lot of areas just to the northern side of Long Island for Suffolk County is gonna start to see a lot more of those bands of heavy rain continuing throughout the rest of tonight. But we're really looking for that one line of heavy rain coming in around 10 o'clock is going to be spreading throughout the island to about midnight into our early Monday morning again, with this heavy rainfall, we could be seeing rainfall, uh starting to go into about an hour, about an inch an hour for some of these moments. So that's why we are looking at flooding to be a big issue for us overnight into our early Monday morning. But again, wind speeds are going to be an issue mainly for the east inside or for Suffolk County from Shirley to Hampton Bays and Rocky Point and even further toward the Twin Forks, we could be seeing those wind gusts between 40 to 50 MPH. And with an over saturated ground, we already saw some down trees, expect a bit more going into tomorrow as well. Quick. Look at how much rain we could be seeing again, close to four inches for some areas, which is why flooding is going to be a big concern going into not tonight just tonight, but for Monday morning as well. But once we get to Monday afternoon, we're dry.

Now with a look at your forecast, Michelle, what can you tell us? Yeah, we're looking at flooding. There's a good chance of even more flash flooding east of 91 for tonight, but we just need to be careful on those roads. It's not nice for travel tonight. The rain picks back up again after about eight or nine o'clock tonight after a little bit of a break. Now, this some wet snow up north, but snow lovers beware this one about amount to very much at all and temperatures will stay above freezing, but this week is going to be colder right now. Feels like spring forties are on the way dry weather throughout the week until next weekend. That's a look at your local forecast.
