BfloGirlTravel: Lake Erie Wine Country

credit: Wikimedia Commons/Jonnymccullagh
Lake Erie Wine Country, along the southern shore of Lake Erie in both Pennsylvania and New York, offers 23 unique wineries that have won hundreds of national and international wine quality awards. The wineries themselves have been evolving over the past few years to include other agricultural beverages such as distilled spirits, hard ciders, and microbrews.

“Some of our wineries now provide wine-by-the-glass, seating areas, beautiful gift shops, extended hours, and a great variety of entertainment,” says Lake Erie Wine Country executive director and author Julie Ellis. “On any given weekend throughout the year, visitors may find live music, vineyard walks, winemaker’s dinners, or wine and art events. We even have wineries that now provide food. That was unheard of just a few years ago.” 

Lake Erie Wine Country is a thriving destination for tourists and wine lovers, and it continues to grow.  There is proof in the fact that several wineries are expanding their production and wine tasting areas.

“Those who haven’t visited our region in the past couple of years will be pleasantly surprised to see the new facilities, events, beverages, and wine offerings.” said Ellis.

Lake Erie Wine Country’s 23 wineries are wrapping up their grape harvest and preparing for two Harvest Celebration Weekends, Friday through Sunday, November 4-6 and November 11-13. Ticket holders can visit participating wineries where they can enjoy a special wine paired with a delicious “harvest” food sample. As in the past, ticket holders will also receive additional tastings, a wine glass, recipe booklet, a $5 voucher and a gift. Hours for each of the two Harvest Celebration Weekends are: Friday, noon-5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Ticket holders can plan their own itinerary, enjoying a self-guided tour to each winery they choose to visit. Tickets are now on sale for the Harvest Celebration Weekends at $35 per person. One ticket is needed for each weekend and is good for all three days. Advanced ticket purchase is recommended as tickets are limited, and they are usually sold-out before the event begins; tickets can be purchased online at www.lakeeriewinecountry.org. Designated driver tickets are available for only $20 and include everything except wine; an alternate beverage is provided to designated drivers. The region now offers a Friday and/or Sunday only ticket for just $31.

The food and wine sample pairings for all wineries can be found at www.lakeeriewinecountry.org along with detailed information on the double-weekend event. The website also lists events all year long for all 23 wineries. Wineries are open year-around for tours and tastings.

BfloGirlGeek: Random Thoughts of Geekery

  • Logan trailer – shut the door! And did they have to use Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt, because I could’ve handled it with NIN’s version.
  • Arrival trailer – totally looking forward to seeing this movie…and Jeremy Renner… #TeamHawkeye
  • Guardians II trailer – “Do you need a hug?” Ha! Ready for another great soundtrack – and Baby Groot.
  • Rogue One – I’ve got my t-shirt, now I need a movie…
  • Doctor Strange – yes, I’ll see it, I’m just not sure what to expect. This isn’t a traditional Marvel movie, and the characters are new to the movie universe, so I’m going in blind.
  • Red Vengeance – if you haven’t tried the Marvel Young Adult book out yet, do it! Black Widow: Forever Red was pretty good, and Marvel fans are craving more Black Widow (movie, please?!?!). Black Widow: Red Vengeance is the latest book – I just started reading it – and next week there’s an Iron Man book joining the collection. Don’t get turned off by “Young Adult,” because we’ve all read them – you know, Hunger Games, Divergent and, of course, all the Harry Potter books.
  • Ahsoka – I really want to start reading this one too – Ahsoka Tano was one of the coolest chicks in the Expanded Universe, and now she’s part of the new canon. I don’t want to get caught up with too many books at once, though, because I’m also reading Dark Disciple right now with another cool EU chick, Asajj Ventress.

Fall fun 2016: In support of GOMO (Going Out More Often) with Eventbrite

credit: Wikimedia Commons/Whit Andrews
Before the fall season gets away from us and it’s (GASP!) Christmas, it’s time to look at life and consider supporting the GOMO movement: Going Out More Often.

So often, we suffer from FOMO – Fear Of Missing Out. This is especially true during the summer and fall in Buffalo, when we have soooooo many events and festivals taking place every weekend – sometimes we give up trying to figure out where to go and just stay home. One way to squelch FOMO is with GOMO, and Eventbrite can help.

One of the activities for the family you’ll find on Eventbrite is The MAiZE – you can get tickets for the corn mazes and other activities right at Eventbrite. For the 18 and older crowd, get your Halloween geek on at “The Rave That Must Not Be Named,” a Harry Potter-themed Halloween event on October 29 at the Dnipro Ukrainian Cultural Center, located at 562 Genesee St – tickets and more information are available at Eventbrite.

Check out Eventbrite for yourself and support the GOMO movement.

Thanks to Eventbrite for the post idea – all opinions are my own.
