Dr. Underhill, a Patriarch and a Man of Renown

The Eclectic Magazine, in an April 1864 piece, praised Dr. Underhill as "a patriarch and a man of renown" among grape growers. The publication highlighted his fifty-acre Croton Point vineyards as the source of celebrated grapes known for their quality and sweetness.

Thousands of grape baskets from his vineyard reached New York households annually, followed by wine production. The wines were described as suitable for medicinal purposes and communion use, available at No. 7 Clinton Hall on Astor Place in New York City.

"His Croton Point vineyards will be a lasting monument to his fame so long as his grapes grow."
