My May Sips
Yes, I know it’s June already, but these are some of the wines I tasted last month. Oh, and if you have a better title for my occasional collection of wine reviews, please post it in the comments.

Finger Lakes Rieslings continue to shine!
Finger Lakes wines and I go back to fall of 2012 when I found out my teaching position had been eliminated and I started taking wine certification courses.

2014 Wine Bloggers’ Conference: My Thoughts
Santa Barbara County was my third Wine Bloggers’ Conference. I attended for the first time in 2011 in Virginia, just shortly after I created Traveling Wine Chick. My second conference was 2013 in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia with a pre-conference excursion to Lake Chelan, Washington. I am not really a rabble rouser, but […]

Marti and Tom […]

Partners Stephanie Mira de Orduna and James-Emery Elkin have created a truly incomparable experience where Finger Lakes’ and international wines and food come together in harmony. The bar offers wine flights, wines by the glass or bottle, craft beers, fruit […]
Vinehurst Inn and Suites
During my recent visit to the Finger Lakes, I had the opportunity to stay in a locally-owned and operated property just outside of Hammondsport, New York, thanks to the great team at the Finger Lakes Wine Country Tourism Marketing Association. Vinehurst Inn & Suites was built in 1960 and has become a landmark of sorts for […]
