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…
Drink It In: 2300 revisited
For those of you who are newer to my blog my first "real" post of A. Greene's Adventures was last year at this time about a local event at the Corning Glass Museum called 2300 (see 2300 degrees ). 2300 degrees is a free event sponsored by the Corning Glass museum every third Thursday night from…
Niagara Falls Anniversary Part 2: Wine tours and Italian dinner

Afterwards we walked around the tourist area filled with haunted houses, wax and world record museums, children amusement parks and arcades, and much more! Although we are not into these tourist traps they…
Vacation Highlights Part 2: Date Days

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…
Sorge’s: local food and wine
This past holiday weekend (federal=holiday for us) we went to an Italian restaurant in the Gaffer District called Sorge's. We were given a gift card to this local family-run business by close friends of Luke. Open for 62 years, Sorge's is known for their homemade pasta. In fact in the summer of 2011 they made it into…
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…
