Southern Night is back! Beginning Monday, March 5th, Samantha Buyskes and the Simply Red crew will transform the Bistro at Red Newt Cellars into the classic Monday night venue that has served traditional southern fare with a local twist for over a decade.

Monday night was originally designed as an evening to bring the community together to offer a comfort plate of food and to enjoy live bluegrass music. Now you can find this long-standing tradition popping up at the Bistro at Red Newt Cellars! The Southern Night menu encompasses all of the recipes that you have come to love from Ma Ma's Comfort Kitchen like the cajun spiced, cornmeal crusted catfish and the country style pork ribs. Plus, the Bistro will be filled with live bluegrass music from local musicians. Enjoy!

Every Monday Night from 5:00pm - 9:00pm!

"Deep Lakes, Icy Climate, Great Wine," by Eric Asimov, chief wine critic of The New York Times.

The rain was falling again in the Finger Lakes, just as it had for much of September. The incessant precipitation was causing anguish as grape growers across the region weighed harvesting before optimal ripeness or risking the rot and mold that might come with waiting.

"This is a year that's going to challenge everybody," said John Martini, who owns Anthony Road Wine Company, on the shore of Seneca lake outside this village. The difficult climate, combined with a diverse combination of soils, makes the Finger Lakes one of the most unusual American wine regions. In the last decade or so, it has begun to show its enormous potential, as a small but growing number of producers makes graceful wines that stand in contrast to prevailing styles from the West Coast.

Fortuitously, the region hitched itself to Riesling just as, in the last 10 years, Riesling skyrocketed in popularity in the United States. Nowadays, top producers are not simply making good Finger Lakes Rieslings, or good American Rieslings. They are making seriously good world-class Rieslings, in a multitude of styles.
