“Quality all starts with the grapes,” says Peter Weis, co-owner of Weis Vineyards in Keuka Lake. In 2017, Weis and his wife Ashlee bought a small existing winery in Hammondsport. In the span of five years, they have turned quality grapes from the Finger Lakes into quality wine from Weis Vineyards. They’ve quickly become a celebrated winery in the region, earning the “Winery of the Year” award in the 2022 New York Wine Classic.

“Winery of the Year” goes to the winery with the best overall showing based on the level and number of awards in relation to entries. This year, Weiss entered nine wines. Judges awarded their 2021 Dry Rosé a platinum medal and named it Best Pink Wine, Best Rosé in its class. Their ​​2020 Winzer Select A, Riesling earned a gold medal and judges named it Best White Wine and Best Overall Riesling. Of the remaining seven wines, six earned gold medals and the final wine earned a silver medal. Not a bad showing for a five-year-old winery. Read More

Samhainn and Day of the Dead

It is interesting to note when two cultures separated by an ocean and almost two continents each celebrate their respect for those who have passed away in extremely similar fashion. In this case we are talking about the Celts in western Europe and Mexicans in North America. In fact, both cultures observed celebrations within days of each other earlier this week. Read More.

More Cleaning Outdoor Stuff

In early August we talked about how to clean your deck or patio furniture before the cold sets in. There are a few more items to cover before we are ready to say outdoor work is done. Read More.

Instapot Winter Meals

Remember that Instant Pot that you asked for as a Christmas gift? Did you really use it that much? Perhaps you did. After all it is a single appliance that can pressure cook, slow cook, saute, and cook rice. Whether or not, here are some choices for the cooler weather that has set in. Read More.
