Located on Seneca Lake, Silver Thread Vineyard is one of the oldest grape-growing sites in the region. The winery’s previous owners were the first to obtain organic certification in the Finger Lakes, and its current owners Shannon and Paul Brock continue the winery’s legacy of sustainability by building upon its organic roots. In recognition of this continued work, Silver Thread is the recipient of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation Sustainability Award in the 2023 Unity Awards. The award recognizes an organization or winery that has exemplified sustainable practices. Read more.

Signs of Dementia

If you are around middle age, you have no doubt thought you were on your way to dementia. Any one at any age can be concerned about a relative, coworker, friend, or acquaintance that may show signs of diminished mental capacity. Actually we all experience times when we misplace items, walk into a room and forget why, miss deadlines simply because we forgot, and other similar actions. That does not necessarily mean you have lost your marbles. Sometimes it is due to stress or simply overloading your thoughts with details. Read More.

Organic Cleaning Products

After the cleaning frenzy during Covid, we are still very conscious of keeping our areas in good shape. Especially if you have small children or someone with sensitivities to certain chemicals or scents, you want to use the best products possible. However, it can be confusing when you read labels like eco-friendly, all natural (remember that water is “natural”), and organic. Read more.

Summer Snacks

Here we are in the “dog days” of August and everyone is still up for a snack or two to tide them over until dinner or as a party appetizer. Read More.
