All This Rain Was Good for Something

It's Apple Season! 

This coming weekend is the Capital Region’s 19th annual Apple and Wine Festival at the Altamont Fair Grounds.  This is a great event to start the fall season and is something I always look forward to.

Delicious apple cider, apple pie, donuts and many other apple treats will be available.  It’s definitely time for some cider, if that’s not your cup of tea then there’s also the opportunity for some wine tasting featuring over a dozen wineries.  The arts and crafts show kicks off on Saturday and there is fun activities for the kiddies.

For more info check out the festival’s website.

Mangia Promotes Local Products and Economy
Local Restaurant Hosts Wine Tastings

SLINGERLANDS – Mangia, a Slingerlands restaurant owned and operated by White Management, will be hosting a wine tasting July 12th and July 26th. Attendees will sample wines from the Glenora and Knapp Wineries, both of which are located in the Finger Lakes region.

The restaurant is partnering with Empire Merchants North to host several other New York State wineries throughout the month of July in support of Uncork New York, a promoter of New York State wines, grape juice and table grapes that sponsors research to enhance the quality of wines, productivity of wineries and the social responsibility of consumers.

The wine tasting is part of the restaurant’s ongoing effort to promote local products throughout the spring and summer months. In addition to buying and using local products at their restaurant, Mangia hopes the events will encourage other businesses and consumers to support the New York State Economy by buying local products.
