A delight. Inspire Moore was the last stop on my cousin chum mini winery tour last weekend, and it…read morewas a high note. The exterior of the buildings caught my eye as we drove by a few times a day or two beforehand, and this was a rare instance where judging a book by its cover paid off. This was a very pleasant experience and a rare recommend from the area. Inspire Moore...looks a little kooky, and it is. It's rare in my experience for a winery to sell anything other than wine, food and maybe some wine-related merch, but there's a significant chunk of the establishment devoted to other products; the first room or two by the entrance is more cluttered/intimate and sold, for instance, leather-bound journals with motivational quotes and honestly items I associate with alternative tourist traps, the kinds with candles, dreamcatchers and zodiac shizzle (if you've ever been to New Hope, Pennsylvania, it reminded me a lot of the stores there, along with the 90s shopping mall institution The Nature Company; RIP). Not an insult by any means, but definitely different from the average bear. Full disclosure - I bought one of the journals. There's a much larger room in the back that I assume houses some legit events and it's got a pretty wild view of the vineyards in the back of the property. I didn't spend a ton of time there other than to access the adjacent bathroom (which also boasts that view), but a marked departure from the other areas of the building. The wine we sampled here was significantly better than one of its counterparts down the street, with complex flavors and just overall tastiness. I decided to bouge it up a bit with the $15 reserve tasting (there's a $10 tasting for the common man), which was the right call. Far and away, I thought the best wine I sampled was the 2022 Bourbon Blend Red, which I ended up buying a bottle of for the road (it's hanging out proudly on my wine cart now in the other room). I'm MUCH more of a white wine drinker than a red so this one was a surprise for me, but I was legit impressed with the different notes on the palate, notably the charcoal mixed with the plum, which bizarrely worked. And hanging out in some bourbon barrels for months? Sold. Really interesting nip and I'm planning to bring it out for a good time in the future. I loved the woman assisting us on this visit. Susan was in many ways the perfect host - very self-effacing (was upfront about her lack of wine knowledge after a career in teaching, and in a roundabout way it felt like we were discovering these wines with her) and sweet. She knew enough about the wines to still give us a bit of an education without ever coming close to preaching or condescension. Very pleasant addition to this winery and they should try to keep her around; it's unusual for that kind of personality to be at a winery, but it works. Markedly improved the experience, and I don't think you can really give a higher compliment than that. The atmosphere here was pretty good too; we didn't have an AMAZING view from our vantagepoint (we were placed on the porch toward the front of the building facing the street, with mostly a view of the restaurant next door), but we did have some pleasing vineyard optics off to the side and understandably lingered a bit at this stop. My youngest cousin chum was getting antsy but the photo opportunities helped in that regard. Her day will come. This was probably the only place in Naples I'd recommend; unique winery with interesting wine - grapes with a dash of quirk.

I absolutely love this Festival. I remember coming here when I was younger and enjoying the food…read moreand the events. Fast forward 20+ years, and I introduced it to my wife. It starts off with a nice pleasant drive through some really beautiful country along scenic Canandaigua Lake. We come in from the North, and since we arrive early in the morning parking is plentiful. However, there is a 10-15 minute walk to get to the center of the festival area. Along the way, you can look at the small stores selling their wares (books, records, etc.) and peruse the many garage sales that pop up along main street. When you arrive at the festival, you are hit with a three-fold attack of (1) great carnival food, (2) lots of arts and crafts vendors, and (3) live music and the cacophony of thousands of people in one space. Aside from the typical kettle corn, fried dough, and sausage sandwiches, you can feast on anything and everything that can be made with a grape... pies, cakes, cookies, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. Frankly, it is a bit overwhelming but in a wonderful way. We don't usually buy too many crafts or artwork (and if you do, be warned that you will need to carry it back to your car somehow) but we do enjoy some things that are just necessary on a day like this: Carnival Waffles (which you cannot get outside of Western NY, and asking about them will just lead to blank stares), grape pie, and lots of bottled water. Who has the best grape pie? If you read the signs, that will narrow it done but I try a new place every time and seem to enjoy them all. Grape pie tastes like blueberry + wine... yummy! There are wine vendors too, and a nearby winery offers tasting and I think tours though we have never done it. This festival takes the best things in life and combines them. Carnival food minus the weird looking carnys; beautiful New York fall scenery with lovely, sunny weather; amazing arts and crafts with plenty of useless made in China junk and dozens of yard sales thrown in, and people having fun. Just watch the bikers that try and ride down Main Street every year only to get stuck in traffic. Even then they are having a blast. The local school gets involved too with various fundraisers. Hint: when you buy food from the area next to the school, make sure you get all the ketchup you need before you go and sit down on the grassy knoll. Navigating the crowds to get the small things you forgot with your food is no fun. I cannot wait until September when I can go again!

I have a love/hate relationship with the Naples Grape Festival. On the one hand you have a great…read moreopportunity to get your hand on some of the greatest Grape pies around. On the other, crowds of people, money trap, long waits to get in and out of the village. Here's what's lacking: *Not much (good)entertainment *Everyone is selling anything and everything (junk included) *Crowded sidewalks where people stop directly in the middle without regard to the line of others behind them. *A long drive from the city Here's what I love: *Views of the lake on the drive down *Views of fall foliage *Joseph's Wayside Market *Grape pocket cookies from the church in the center of town *Jeni's Pies are the best *Plenty of (paid) parking at Hazlitt *Wine slushies from Hazlitt YUM! In the past there seemed to be more artisans, but this year it felt like there were vendors just selling anything. It felt overwhelming with so many people crammed in in the sidewalks. I'll admit it's a great walk from one end of town to the other. Make your way to the south end to check out Joseph's. If you've never been, it's worth the trip, just be prepared for people to stop in front of you without warning because they can't text and walk at the same time!

This was unfortunately a low point on our trip and a reminder to me to stop picking places based on…read morethe name (which I'm probably going to keep doing, if we're being honest). My cousin chums and I kicked off our mini winery tour here this past Labor Day around midday/early afternoon-ish. There was a small batch of wineries in the Naples area that were conveniently located within a short drive of our Airbnb, and this one logically made the most sense to kick off the adventures. The first issue is the location/atmosphere. The best wineries for me are comfortable and have a nice, pleasant view to look at while you sip your wine. This just doesn't have that all - the winery is located directly behind what looks to be an old factory building, so your view is of that building or at best, the picnic tables to the side of the winery which are sort of in an enclosed outside area that also doesn't offer any real views. The other problem with this situation is that it's a bit DIY - when we ordered our wine flights, we were instructed to bring them outside to wherever we wanted to sit. That's fine, but to even get to the aforementioned picnic tables, we needed to navigate down one or two flights of stairs and another seating area - you're just begging for an accident to happen here. We probably would have opted for the picnic tables if it were an easier trek to get to them. Instead we went with a narrow high-top situation in the area right outside the building on an enclosed porch which did not have a lot of room for our three wine flights. The fire pit/Adirondack chair situation closest to the door of the wine/gift shop is probably your best bet at least in terms of comfort, but again, it's just a view of the back of a factory building. We each got a $10 wine flight. It was a little annoying to get the little booklet/menu of options indicating we could choose any six, only to be informed verbally and in writing within the actual shop that it was now four. That kind of discrepancy shouldn't be reflected in your paperwork that you're handing out to customers - it looks unprofessional and feels like a holiday cash grab. And a very easy fix; that's a quick trip/order to your local printer at some point, assuming that's a permanent change and not a temporary one to take advantage of Labor Day Weekend visitors. Given that you're drinking booze by definition, what the winery offers for snacks/food is one of its more important qualities. And again, they fell short. At least they DID provide free popcorn, but it was stale and almost inedible. It also wasn't entirely clear what the water situation was; one of my cousins came out with a bottle of it but wasn't sure if it was being offered gratis or not; it didn't end up being an issue, but it was noticeably not good either, which is an odd thing to say about water. But the container it was in had a noticeable smell of dirty dishwater so it didn't seem like they were cleaning their cups/bottles well. Not great. The big problem overall? The wine isn't good, and you kind of know it going in when they're literally selling the wine by the pouch in addition to bottles. It's difficult to take a winery seriously when they're packaging their product in a container that's understandably associated with cheap, mediocre (if that) wine. I ordered the 2023 Gewurz, a Bubbly Reisling, the Schooner White and the Red Cat, which was arguably promoted more heavily than any of the other wines (not surprisingly given the name). The Red Cat probably IS the best of the wines I sampled but like a lot of the varieties, was super sweet and didn't have a lot to offer, palate-wise. I actually tend to like the semi sweet more than the drier wines because for me it's typically a smoother drink and easier to distinguish the notes, but there just really isn't anything here - I hate to say it, but it tasted like fruit juice, which I can just grab from the supermarket if so inclined. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the young women inside were very nice. I don't think any of the issues we encountered were because of them; they warmly greeted us as soon as we came in, and were helpful in directing us to the tasting area. They didn't have a lot to work with, and did what they could - that's a tribute to the winery's hiring practices at least. Avoid this one. If you need to drink wine out of a pouch, your local liquor store has them in the clearance section.

On the minus side, the rieslings were a bit flat compared to those of Dr. Konstantin Frank. Also, we made an advance reservation for 2pm, but the facility ignored it since it appeared to have a general "walk-in" policy for everyone.
