It’s autumn in Finger Lakes Wine Country! It’s our second to last weekend open for the season. Come visit us!

Wood Fired Pizza

BBQ Pizza – We start this pie with a slather of Chef Lerman’s Black-Strap Yankee Bar-B-Q Sauce, add some cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and then give it a few slices of sweet sausage from Autumn’s Harvest Farm in Romulus, NY. Come get it! [$12.00]

Autumn Harvest – This veggie pizza starts with generous dollops of everything good including Lively Run chevre, oven roasted squash puree, and if dollops of caramelized onion are possible well then there you go. Now for the best part – it’s finished with an apple cider reduction from local apples (boiled down by MJ herself). [$12.00]

Wine

Try the Cayuga Ridge Estate Riesling (which recently won Germany’s Best Riesling of the New World 2010 award) or your favorite red or white.
