Rogues' Harbor Inn's Beer vs. Wine Dinner 2012

We love to offer beer and wine pairing suggestions on our dinner menu. So, I often wander the Finger Lakes Beer Trail and the Cayuga and Seneca Wine Trails to try a few new (and old favorite) local fermented beverages. At a recent stop at the King Ferry Winery Chris in the tasting room gave me a great idea. A  Beer vs. Wine dinner, us against them, Rogues' Harbor Brewing Co. vs. Treleaven Wines in a friendly bout officiated by our brewer and their owners.
And so it is...Game on. Bring it.
Chef Luke was inspired by the idea and has designed a four course dinner. Each course will be paired with one of our craft brews and one of their world class wines. Each corner, Chris Williams and Pete and Tacie Saltenstall, will be speaking about how their pairings complement each course. They'll be fielding questions as well, and most likely trying to influence your vote...But, in the end the winner will be chosen by our guests at the match. Each round will be an adventure. So bring your taste buds and maybe a friend to argue with about your pairing votes...
Dinner will be hosted right here at the Rogues' Harbor Inn on Thursday, November 15, 6:30 pm, $45/person includes four course dinner with all beer and wine pairings
Reservations are recommended and availability is limited, so please don't wait to call (607) 533-3535

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 :)
