Biographical / Historical

Hudson graduated from Lancaster Country Day School in 1949. He earned a BA in English Literature with a minor in History from Wabash College in 1953 and an MA in Scandinavian Studies from the University of Wisconsin in 1960. In 1976 Hudson and Lee Stauffer Miller co-founded a public relations firm, L&H Photojournalism. As a wine journalist, Hudson covered the wine industry east of the Rockies. He interviewed many founders of the eastern wine industry and, with Linda Jones McKee, published "Wine East" magazine for grape growers, wine-makers and wine-marketers from 1981 until 2008. From then until 2013, he served as co-Editor of the Wine East section of "Wines and Vines." In March 2012 he received the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the Eastern Winery Exposition. Hudson's magnum opus"Wines of Eastern North America: From Prohibition to the Present" was published in 2014 by Cornell University Press. Hudson was instrumental in setting up Cornell University's Eastern Wine and Grape Archive.
