Tonight the Finger Lakes Wine Country, hosted a “Riesling Hour” for wine lovers across the nation. I now have a few “must tries”, and feel extremely proud to live near an area that is dedicated to producing the best wine our land can offer and food to pair. The Finger Lakes Region is…enchanting. I can’t [...]
Let me tell you about our dinner last night. I’ve been craving avocado. My mom harvested a bunch of asparagus from her garden. I searched for a recipe that would include both, and that would pair well with Riesling… And my trusty Bon Appetit had a recipe that met the requirements. I love when that [...]

‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
Walking into the Hermann J. Wiemer tasting room is like coming home. It’s comforting, friendly and familiar. Even if you only venture out to their lovely winery once a year, the close-knit staff always remembers you by name. We are talking wine, not the popular bar Cheers, so in the spirit of German food and [...]
Have you ever had a “perfect food” moment? You know, the point in time where the food you are consuming could not be more suiting for your current condition? For me, this often coincides with the weather. Crunchy, satisfying salads for hot Summer nights and hearty soups and casseroles in the Winter. So what is [...]
