I am saddened to see that the Women's Rights National Historical Park was on the annual NPCA llist of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. This is an important story to keep telling. We bring groups from all over the country to this Seneca Falls park, especially the Wesleyan Chapel, and visitors are always moved by the experience and always walk away with new knowledge they did not know of the First Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls in 1848.

Please help support this park, and if you are from the Finger Lakes and have never been, its time to check it out! I am sure it is visitation numbers that gets a historic location on this list, so lets do our part to make sure it remains for future generations!

Five of this year’s list includes national park sites, including Stonewall National Monument, the President’s House site at Independence National Historical Park, and the Women’s Rights National Historic Park.

Silver Thread Vineyard growing organic Chardonnay and Riesling in the FLX! This is impressive news!

When we purchased Silver Thread in 2011, it was a practicing organic farm growing only vitis vinifera (a.k.a. European) grape varietals. For over 20 years, founder Richard Figiel had doggedly pursued organics even if it meant sacrificing much of his crop to fungal diseases and insects. At the time,....

Well, its official, the Baby Boomer generation has been replaced by the Milennials as the largest segment of wine drinkers today. Gen Z are dabbling more into wine than they have been as well.
Much of this is coming from the two generations loving their bubbles (smart folks!). Read two articles that give all the deets, and support your local wine producers!
