Finger Lakes Wines and Grapes: Harvesting and history
Chris Scholomiti Special to The Citizen
Spring has arrived, yet it may be too early to say it was a mild winter, since the biggest snow event we had was on March 14. That brings back memories of the monster snowstorm of March 1993, which buried us with over 40 inches of snow in Fosterville!
Even though we have had minimal snow this winter, we have received a fair amount of rain, so I’m thinking the water table should be in good shape for the upcoming growing season. I’ve been sampling the buds in the vineyard looking for winter subzero damage after that minus 7 degrees Fahrenheit we experienced back on Feb. 4. Recent data from the Finger Lakes Grape Program suggests several varieties such as Cayuga white, gewürztraminer, sauvignon blanc and merlot will be impacted from the Feb. 4 subzero episode. Possible damage to cabernet franc, Lemberger and chardonnay also happen to these types to a lesser extent. The CJS riesling, chambourcin and Cayuga white buds in the Fosterville vineyard look good!

Rosé wine is an ideal option for Easter dinner due to its refreshing and light flavor, making it a perfect match for a variety of dishes. A dry rosé can complement traditional Easter meats like ham, turkey, and lamb as it has enough acidity to cut through the richness of these dishes. For the main course, a glass of dry rosé pairs well with roasted leg of lamb or honey and mustard glazed ham, enhancing the natural flavors of the meat. Rosé wine also complements side dishes such as grilled vegetables like asparagus and zucchini, as well as acidic or tangy dishes like potato salad with vinegar dressing. In summary, a glass of rosé wine brings versatility and elegance to Easter dinner, enhancing the flavors of the meal and adding sophistication to the celebration. Available at the tasting room or order online.Miles Wine CellarsAddress: 168 Randall Crossing Rd Himrod, NY 14842 Phone: (607) 243-7742.
Don’t forget to grab some Ethereal Sparkling Wine for your Easter Celebration or brunch. This crowd pleaser is lovely on its own, and also makes great Mimosas and cocktails with other fruit juices.

Wishing all a Happy Easter and Passover!

April Birthstone: Diamond
For the history of the diamond, April's birthstone, we need to travel back to India in the 4th Century BCE which is probably where it was first “officially” discovered and sold. It took until the early 1700s for that supply to decline when a lode in Brazil made it the “go to” country. Read More.
Blood Groups and Factors
If you are a fan of medical procedurals, you are undoubtedly familiar for the call for “O Neg” for a blood transfusion. Read more.
Savory Tarts
A tart is a preparation baked in a shallow, usually round, pan with a single crust on the bottom. It is filled with fruits, custard, cream, or savory items. The crust can be a pastry dough (home made or purchased) but you can easily substitute pizza dough or a flat bread. The crust is often blind baked (baked unfilled) to avoid a soggy crust when filled. A tart can be either sweet or savory, unlike its cousin the quiche, which is always savory. The tart can have a custard-based filling (egg and milk) or simply fruit. A tartlette is a smaller, one or two bite-sized, and served as an appetizer or dessert. Read More.
