Nestled on the serene shores of Seneca Lake, Glenora Wine Cellars holds a distinguished place in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region. As the first winery to establish roots on Seneca Lake in 1977, Glenora has not only witnessed the transformation of the area into a world-class wine destination but has also been a catalyst in its growth. From pioneering new grape varieties to hosting iconic community events, Glenora’s story is a blend of history, innovation, and passion.
Beyond the winery’s impressive wine portfolio, Glenora is deeply rooted in the Finger Lakes community. The winery’s founder, Gene Pierce, played a pivotal role in shaping not only Glenora but the entire Finger Lakes wine industry. In the 1970s, Pierce and his partners were instrumental in the passage of the New York Farm Winery Act, a game-changing piece of legislation that allowed small wineries to sell directly to the public. This was the spark that set the Finger Lakes on the path to becoming the thriving wine region it is today.

Lowering Your Grocery Bill
Everybody wants to save some money. The grocery store takes a hunk out of our monthly salary, that’s for sure. Here are some ideas about how to save a buck or two. Read More.

The Color White
Since we have been through the rainbow colors, here we go with white.
Its name comes from Old English that originated from German as hwit. The Dutch from the German was weiss.
Technically, this is a non color or all colors. It is actually a combination of every wavelength in the visible spectrum. Realize that this is wavelength not a pigment because if you start combining all paints, you won’t get white. Read More.

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are ready to harvest about three or four months after they are initially planted. You can tell they are ready because the above ground portion of the plant starts to die back. They are generally dug up prior to the first freeze. Then they need to be “cured”. That means they are stored in a warm (about 85 to 90 degree temperature) and humid (again about 85% to 90%) place. After that point, store them for a few weeks and the starches will convert to sugars and make the potatoes even tastier. Then store in a cool location above 55 degrees. Read more.
