ARTICLE
Vinifera: A new place to experience Finger Lakes Wine — with a secret space to boot
 FLTimes.com
GENEVA — “Fortune follows the brave” is a Latin proverb getting lots of play for a bitcoin company.
Jim Cecere could certainly be put in the category of “the brave.”
After all, his first Geneva business, Finger Lakes Goods, kicked off during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, starting as a web-based format before opening its doors to a new Linden Street store later that year.

How to Plan a Staycation
There are certainly reasons for a go-away vacation, but there are also very valid arguments for a staycation. Some thoughts that pop up are “use ’em or lose ’em” vacation days, money is tight (or is being allocated for a major purchase), with Covid still in the picture some hesitation about groups, no packing, etc. Whatever your motive, here are some guidelines that might make it as enjoyable as possible.

Witch Hazel Plants in Landscaping
Autumn is turning to winter. All the colorful leaves have pretty much turned brown and fallen. When you are looking at that gray almost-winter sky and most of the trees are bare, you will notice bright yellow flowers. These are part of witch hazel plants. In New York you will see the blooms emerge anywhere from mid October to early November. Regional variations can include gold or red, but yellow is still the predominant color. These flowers smell a bit citrusy. However, if you don’t detect any fragrance, it could be an Asian hybrid. Read More.

Hot Cross Buns
Hot cross buns taste like a combination of a dinner roll and cinnamon bun. In the ultra-conservative Catholic middle ages, the dietary rules for Lent were very restrictive, including no dairy products. Hot cross buns were developed to be served after mid-day on Good Friday, when the restrictions were loosened. They contain spices (symbolizing the spices used in Christ’s embalming) and orange peel (bitterness of the suffering on the cross). Read More.
