Around this time last year we noticed several grape pie and grape sellers along the main street of on of our local towns. I did a google search to find this town hosts a very large fall grape festival and pie contest. If you have never heard of grape pies it's ok, neither did…
Fall Festival and Wine
We drove by the bright purple winery building back in August when we joined the Springwater hiking group for a hike in Naples. We thought it may be worth returning to. So we found a groupon for wine tasting and cheese board and came back to check out our local grapes. As we drove through…
Rochester Lilac Festival
It is finally and truly spring here. Once spring comes so do the festival, one or two every weekend. This past weekend L and I celebrated another semester of teaching over by going to the Rochester Lilac Festival. This is the largest Rochester city festival lasting two full weeks and weekends. It takes place at Highland Park…
Wine tasting in Ellicottville
This past Sunday we decided to use one of our saved-up groupons and drive out to Ellicottville for wine tasting. If you remember last August we explored Ellicottville for the first time with one of Luke’s co-workers and his wife. What drew us to this ski-town two hours West of us was their annual taste…

An Ithaca birthday adventure
As I mentioned on my birthday, this past weekend we took a trip to the college town Ithaca for some summer b-day fun. We got moving slowly in the morning because we went to the local drive-in theatre Friday night and didn't get to sleep until 2:30am. Fortunately Luke made us some irish cream lattes…
Cabin Fever
Every year during the dead of winter the Gaffer District hosts Cabin Fever: a wine/beer tasting event hosted in the storefronts along Main Street. This year Cabin Fever was postponed because of a snow storm, leaving us stuck inside for the month of February (ironic ? yes). So we anxiously waited for the chance to…
2300 degrees
Since we didn't get much of a vacation over the holidays, Luke decided to take a few days off of Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. For our first day off, Thursday January 17th, we decided to go to 2300 degrees. 2300 degrees is a free event sponsored by the Corning Glass museum every third Thursday…
