Before I close this post, let me just say this. To me, the Finger Lakes agriculture, food, and beverage scene is about a group of people who have created a local culture that emphasizes on the delicious regional cuisine and extraordinary wines, brews, juices, and spirits that makes this area a very attractive and unique place to live and visit. Their products are a reflection of dedication and hard work, which in my eyes, makes them all deserving of a Finger Lakes Foodie Award.
It’s been a long time since I was in New York and I’ve never been that far up. My sister lives along the Hudson and that’s as far as it goes. I’d love to be a part of an organization like this.
You live in such a cool place.
What a great post, Eileen! My son went to school in upstate NY and I absolutely loved it there. Beautiful country and fabulous people! Are you going to the celebration?
I’m hoping to go. I’ve got the invite – just have to RSVP. Where did your son go to school?
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!
