Lawrence Park is a cute and cozy wine bar in Hudson. They have small plates to munch on and a big back patio where you can relax while you sip on your wine. In the winter they have a cozy space in the back where you can sit in arm chairs around a fireplace and snuggle up with a blanket and a good book. Also pretty well priced and good deals on their draft wine!
