December 2020 Week 3

Finger Lakes Connected | Holiday Magic 😊

Sometimes the holidays only seem to remind us of what we have lost. You will never lose the love and caring of those who know you and want the best for you. Keep in touch with your family and friends, whether it's Zoom, or a phone call.

As we get closer to the end of the year, remember to keep safe as you celebrate.  I want to thank all of you who are spreading the news about Finger Lakes Connected and sharing our website at: http://fingerlakesconnected.com

Thompson presents virtual ‘A Christmas Carol’

To benefit patients of UR Medicine Thompson Health, Kim Tenreiro is giving a special, virtual performance of his acclaimed one-man enactment of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Event hosts Rob and Carole Lillis have sponsored performances featuring Tenreiro and benefiting Thompson since 2014 and felt the show must go on despite the pandemic.

Those who would like to attend are asked to consider making a donation. Proceeds will benefit the Breast Health Patient Navigation Program at the Dr. Laurie Sands and Constellation Brands Breast Imaging Center, operated by F.F. Thompson Hospital and located at 195 Parrish St. in Canandaigua. The program provides financial, spiritual and emotional support essential for a patient’s well-being following a diagnosis of breast cancer. Tenreiro’s special performance will be available online through Dec. 26. To access it at your convenience, visit

Finger Lakes Wine Fact:

Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is prominent in the Finger Lakes, principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone.

Sometimes it helps to be reminded that good things can come out of hard times.

Case in point: Finger Lakes winery Forge Cellars is ranked on Wine Spectator's Top 100 List of 2020. The prestigious list, announced Monday, features the most exciting wines from regions around the world. It is not meant to be a shopping list, but rather a guide to wineries to watch in the future.

Keep Your Home Safe This Holiday Season

The holidays are without question a very busy time for most of us. We’re running around trying to pick up last minute gifts, preparing big meals for family and friends, and breaking out the ladder to string up festive lights and decorations.

Spread the Holiday Cheer

The holiday season may look and feel a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean the jolliness has to be left in the past. Keep the joyful spirit alive with these decor ideas, activities, and more seasonal fun that are as heartwarming as a cup of cocoa. 

 Ginger Molasses Cookies 

This cookie is a Kerber’s Farm favorite. Its moist and chewy consistency, coupled with the molasses and ginger notes, will quickly transport you back to a simpler time.
