Sunday Tasting Series at the Rogues' Harbor Inn

Whiskey by Finger Lakes Distilling


I knew this photo would get your attention...Whiskey, neat. No fuss, no muss.

Every Sunday, Rogues' Harbor Inn is proud and excited to welcome a local distiller, wine maker or brewer to pour some samples of their fine work and maybe educate us all while we taste.

Finger Lakes Distilling kicks off the Sunday Tasting Series this Sunday, October 28 from 5:30 - 7 pm. Brian McKenzie, owner, will be here to pour four whiskeys and tell us about how barrels and aging affect the color and flavor of the whiskey we're tasting. We'll be pairing some smoked beef with Bier Meck cheese and peppered crostini to go with the four whiskeys: White Pike, Pure Pot Still (Irish) Whiskey, McKenzie Bourbon, and McKenzie Rye.

In the spirit of fermentation cooperation, we'll be making a Boilermaker with their McKenzie Rye whiskey and our Cayuga Cream Ale!

The schedule for the Sunday Tasting Series is coming together and here are a few of our guests: November 4 will be Ports of New York, November 11 will be Bacchus Brewing and November 25 will be Bet the Farm Winery. Each evening will feature a few fermented beverages to taste with some knowledge sharing and a pairing to nibble on by Chef Jeff to go with.

So, save the date- every Sunday at Rogues' from 5:30 - 7, The Sunday Tasting Series is is bringing world class wine, beer and spirits from all over the Finger Lakes right to your neighborhood pub.

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
