From Farm to Winery to Table in Finger Lakes, NY

Farm-to-table may be a cool marketing pitch in some places, but in the Finger Lakes, it's a way of life.

The views of Keuka Lake from @weisvines’ tasting The views of Keuka Lake from @weisvines’ tasting room remind me of the fact that you can come to this region a hundred times and still find new ways to experience it, and discover a new viewpoint. I had never seen Keuka from this perspective and it made me feel so lucky to call this my home. For 12 years I’ve been visiting and writing about this place and still find myself saying “wow” and learning so many new things. And owners Ashlee and Peter Weis are gems. Like, you want them to be your BFFs and hang out at your house type of gems. Oh, yeah, and amazing wine too! #myflx #fingerlakes #winery #keukalake #lakeviews #winetrail #countryliving
To find community is one thing…but to find cultu To find community is one thing…but to find culture. 🇩🇴Whew. That’s a gift. Few things will get droves of Dominicans to come outside on a cold, raining day more than food, especially our food! It was worth freezing with my fellow Dominicanas here in Corning, NY (@Mel.the.mom_, @ch.el.seyy , @_mi11i3, @ferree2beme) for a taste of @spmempanadas (San Pedro de Macoris empanadas)! And their chicharron??? Zomg. (See my Instastories for more)! Follow @spmempanadas to see where they take their Dominican food truck next! Also? I love it here. ♥️ #lifeinflx #soflx #dominicaninflx #dominicanpuertorican #fingerlakes #thisissoflx

No matter how many times I drive around this regio No matter how many times I drive around this region, these views always make me sigh…and this isn’t even it’s most picturesque version! Cold and cloudy, nothing yet really green or in bloom, and yet ✨swoon✨. 📸 View from @applebarrelorchards #pennyan #fingerlakes #iloveny #myflx #soflx #winecountry
Our oldest calls us regularly to talk about entrep Our oldest calls us regularly to talk about entrepreneurship and his ambitions. He loves his job, and is happy and doing well. But he sees so much potential in what he can do, and, says, “I want to be like you guys”, reminding me that even though my mind and focus is so often knee deep in my work, in envisioning the success of our clients, and in our agency, our kids are watching, listening, learning…and being inspired. When our babies are little we spend a lot of time beating ourselves up over pursuing our own ambitions, which so often requires us leaving them behind. It was a constant for me when I traveled heavily. I always felt like I was missing so much. All while feeling proud and accomplished professionally. Such a rollercoaster. All the time. We are so unkind to ourselves for going out to do the things we love. So, to get to this point in parenthood where clarity sets in for them, in ways it doesn’t for you by the way, and to have them look at you with pride and as an inspiration of a life they want…man. It’s indescribable. And people will say “ah, you’re such a great mom.” I dunno. Motherhood is such a bitch, I remember mostly the times I messed up. I was just figuring it out as I went along a lot of the times, with no real sense of what healthy parenting looked like, and a lot of mistakes. We are lucky to have such amazing kids, cause it really is a dice roll. So any parents out there doing their best, just do that. Love as hard as you can and don’t be too hard on yourselves during the ugly bits…cause there are ugly bits. And if you end up with a kid that still loves you in the end, then know you did enough. And if they aspire to be like you, then, damn. You done good. But know they will still ask for money. #parenthood #motherhood #raisingboys #raisingcain #sons #mother
I told someone that we moved here recently. But re I told someone that we moved here recently. But realized almost immediately that “recently” is becoming less and less true. It’s been almost a year! It’s been snowing lightly here, and so cold. But the region is ready for the season ahead. It’s been really nice having this paradise to ourselves in a way but I also love the energy of summer. I can’t wait till the vineyards are green and the lakes are warm(ish) again. I am grateful for so much - life in the Finger Lakes has been so good to us. In general, I am reminded of how grateful that I took all the steps to heal, grow, and learn in order to build the life I wanted for myself. Healthier, safe, and loving in its truest form. And this place makes it all feel easier to do. Now, if only spring would come! #myflx #fingerlakes #lifeinflx #soflx #thisissoflx
