 Here’s how you can support small domestic wineries By Jerry and Krista Slater – For the AJC

April 17, 2024

Patrick Cappiello, a New York City sommelier-turned-California winemaker, put up an Instagram post in March, challenging his followers to drink American wine exclusively for 60 days because, he said, many small U.S. wineries are in danger of going out of business.

That got us thinking about our own wine consumption. While we are proud champions of small wineries, we do drink a lot of French and Italian wines at home. So, we’ve been making a more conscious effort to drink domestic wines, and we thought we’d share some of our favorite producers. Read more.

Miles Wine Cellars

Open every day 10am to 5pm.607-243-7742 or visit our website.

Prejean Winery

Enjoy the extraordinary taste of our crafted wines at Prejean Winery! Indulge in an exceptional experience where every sip takes you on a journey of flavors. From our vineyard to your glass, we pour our passion and expertise into each bottle, ensuring every drop surpasses your expectations.

Wines available in the tasting room or our online wineshop.

Blue

Continuing our journey through the rainbow colors, next on the list is blue. Blue like the sky or water, but little else in nature. Blue Jays, if you look closely, are actually more shades of gray. Blueberries are really purple. Many of the blue flowers we find today were hybridized to that shade. The concept of blue for boys and pink for girls came after the second world war when manufacturers were scaling up marketing campaigns for the baby boom. You may have heard of the color Prussian blue, which is often used in artwork. Architects are also known to use this to prepare their building designs and that is where we get the term blueprint. Read More.

Planting Your Garden

Just a few weeks ago we explored easier ways to garden. Now we are getting down to the fun part. During the pandemic people were at home and had lots of time to start and maintain gardens. Now that we are back to frequent mobility, even if you are remote workers, a few short cuts wouldn’t hurt. Read more.

Spring Soups

While the days are warmer, nights are still a little chilly. Cashing in on some of the vegetables that are ripening about now, you can make some wonderful soups. They can comfort on a bad day at the office or school or warm a crisp night. Sometimes they are just the right thing for no reason. Read More.
