Strawberry Shortcake beware!

Beef, Barrel and Blues is a fantastic combination for a great afternoon in Finger Lakes wine country.  Build your own burger- an 8oz angus grilled burger and choose the cheese and gourmet trimmings yourself.  Pair it with a sampling of our winemakers choice in a Knapp glass and you get to keep the glass too.  All this in a rustic winery atmosphere with live blues music from the Blue Gills. Please reserve your tickets by purchasing them online.

Garlic is the main event in this delightful and savory dinner.   Our chef will marinate it, broil it, sauté it, infuse it, and mix it, promising an aromatic experience.  Garlic aficionados will be impressed by the carefully selected varieties of garlic.  For those of you that might shy away from such a delightful meal, you may consider that ole folks have always thought garlic to be the “wonder drug” and has been reported to cure everything from the common cold to the “plague”.  Plus it does keep vampires away.  This garlic dinner will be paired beautifully with premium wines from Knapp Winery, Zugibe Vineyards and Glenora Wine Cellars.  $74.90 per person includes tax and gratuity.  Please reserve your tickets by purchasing them online.
