Section 20 - Historical Background: Following the first vision to the young boy Joseph Smith, God gradually proceeded to work towards the establishment of his church. The angel Moroni was sent to Joseph, then to the hidden gold plates to be translated and published as the Book of Mormon; the Aaronic Priesthood was restored followed by the Melchizedek priesthood. This section lays the foundation for the setting up of the governing laws of the Kingdom of God in these latter days. Recap: The precise day is given when the organization of the church is to occur; the names of the first 2 elders are announced; duties of the members of the church and of the quorums of the priesthood; specific wording of the baptismal and sacrament prayers are given. Section 21 - Historical Background: In fulfillment of God's commandment (see section 20), on April 6, 1830, the leaders of the church met together at the home of Peter Whitmer Sr to organize and establish the church in accordance to the laws of the nation. Six men were required to sign the corporate papers to give the church official status in the state of New York. The log cabin was crowded with families and friends who all raised their hands in approval of Joseph Smith as the first Elder of the Church and Oliver Cowdery as the second, and both as presiding officers. After these formalities were completed and the papers signed, the people traveled 6 miles to Seneca Lake. Those who desired to become members of the church were baptized. After returning to the Whitmer home in Fayette, this revelation was received. Recap: Records need to be maintained in the church; Joseph Smith will be called a seer, translator, prophet, apostle and elder of the church. Members of the church should look to the prophet for direction as if given by the Lord Himself; Oliver Cowdery to serve under Joseph to preach the gospel to the world. Section 22 - Historical Background: Previous to the official organization of the church, people had been baptized for the remission of sins. Now it was required to be baptized again, this time as members of God's church. Some people objected to needing baptism again. To resolve the confusion, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: All unauthorized covenants, including baptism, are null and void and “availeth him nothing” but must be done as authorized by God. The very reason for the restoration of the Gospel was to replace the “dead works” and unauthorized and obsolete ordinances of the past.
Scientists say no immediate threat to humans The Putnam County Department of Health confirmed on Jan. 17 that the carcass of a wild goose found at Green Chimneys in Brewster last month tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. On Thursday (Jan. 30), the state Department of Agriculture and Markets said five more birds - three wild and two domestic - had tested positive at Green Chimneys, which provides therapeutic services for children that focus on animals and nature. The staff is being monitored for symptoms of illness, although none have been tested for avian flu, the county health department said. Green Chimneys has paused its public programs. The birds at Green Chimneys are among four confirmed cases of the disease statewide in the past two weeks: On Jan. 21, health officials on Long Island announced a positive case at a commercial poultry farm with over 100,000 birds. The facility, Crescent Duck Farm in Suffolk County, has been placed under quarantine while its staff is tested. Its entire stock will be destroyed. On Wednesday (Jan. 29), the Ulster County Department of Health announced that all but two of about 50 chickens and ducks at an unnamed farm had died of avian influenza. The remaining birds were euthanized. "Human contact with the birds was limited to the owners and a veterinarian, who will remain under surveillance for symptoms over the next 10 days," the department said in a statement. On Thursday, the state said it had confirmed two cases in Romulus, in the Finger Lakes, with tests pending on birds found dead on Seneca Lake and Onondaga Lake near Syracuse. Residents who encounter dead birds should avoid making contact. On Wednesday, on Perks Boulevard in Philipstown, Stephen Heath reported finding a dead hawk in his yard that did not appear to have injuries. He contacted the state Department of Environmental Conservation but was told that the agency isn't collecting further samples for testing. It advised him to triple-bag the carcass while wearing gloves and a mask before throwing it in the trash. Suspected bird flu cases can be reported online at bit.ly/DECbirdflu, but an agency representative said there's not much that can be done for wild birds. People should assume any dead bird is infected and follow the guidelines at cdc.gov/bird-flu/prevention. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is unusual for humans to be infected by avian influenza viruses and it typically occurs only because of close or lengthy unprotected contact (i.e., no gloves or respiratory or eye protection) with infected birds "or places that sick birds or their saliva, mucous and feces have touched." Infection can also occur through an intermediary animal, such as a cat or cow. The CDC has confirmed 67 cases of bird flu in humans, nearly all attributed to close contact with sick cattle or poultry, and one death, announced on Jan. 6 - an older Louisiana resident who contracted avian influenza from backyard chickens. There have been no reported human infections in New York state. The first bird flu viruses emerged in China in 1996 and Hong Kong in 1997, leading to 18 confirmed human infections. The first U.S. case was recorded in 2022. Avian influenza showed up in Dutchess County in 2022. Over the past two years, the virus has been evolving and has been detected in over 40 mammalian species, said Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious diseases physician and founding director of Boston University's Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. "As of last spring, this virus has made a jump from birds into dairy cows, which has led to a scenario where many more humans may now come into contact with cows on dairy farms that are being infected," she said. "That has led to what we call 'sporadic infections,' where the infection is transmitted from an animal into humans. Thankfully, we do not see any evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission." Because tens of millions...

As the fall season graces upstate New York, I am eager to traverse the east side of Seneca Lake. A vineyard that has piqued my interest is Caywood Vineyards. Nestled near the Finger Lakes National Forest, Caywood Vineyards boasts a tasting room adorned with handcrafted redwood and oak, complemented by a three-story fireplace. It seems to be the quintessential locale to bask in the fall atmosphere. Caywood Vineyards, a subsidiary of the Pleasant Valley Wine Company family based in Hammondsport.

Learn more about them here and discover the best wine trails around Seneca Lake here.Understanding 529 PlansTransitioning our attention to the focal point of this article - 529 plans. These plans serve as a vital instrument for college savings, yet it's imperative to avoid overfunding them. Contributions to 529 plans are facilitated with after-tax dollars and flourish tax-free. Withdrawals utilized for qualified education expenses are also exempt from tax. In certain states, like New York, tax deductions or credits are accessible for contributions to 529 plans. A notable merit of 529 plans is their negligible effect on financial aid eligibility, being categorized as a parental asset. In instances where the 529 plan is held by someone other than the parents or student, it might be excluded entirely.Strategizing Contributions and Gift Tax ExclusionWhen orchestrating contributions to 529 plans, awareness of the gift tax exclusion is vital. For 2023, the gift tax exclusion stands at $17,000, allowing anyone to bestow a gift up to this amount per annum to your child without triggering gift tax repercussions. Furthermore, direct tuition payments to colleges are unrestricted and can diminish taxable estates. Strategic planning of your contributions to 529 plans is essential, taking into account other savings avenues. Prioritizing retirement savings is prudent, as borrowing for retirement is not an...

In this edition of The Debrief Podcast we're joined by Peter Mantius from The Water Front Online. The longtime environmental reporter has been busy publishing a number of high-profile pieces on the Finger Lakes over the last two weeks; and we needed to catch up with him to break down the headlines. First up, the shocking news that was originally broke by The Deal, about Cargill seeking to sell its salt mine under Cayuga Lake. The company is one of the region's largest employers, and while advocates have been critical of safety surrounding the mine under Cayuga, a potential sale raises even more questions. Next, the latest with the town of Thurston moving toward banning field spreading of sewage sludge. It's a common, albeit odd practice for those who aren't familiar with agriculture, but the local ban could really complicate things for Casella. Advocates have pushed back against spreading sewage sludge on fields because of 'forever chemicals' that have been found in the matter. And finally, we talk about Greenidge Generation's plans to sell its South Carolina bitcoin operation. The company has had a rough stretch, but shortly after we finished recording - news broke that a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Greenidge over warm water discharges into Seneca Lake.

Shaw Vineyard, located on Seneca Lake, is known for its dedication to aging their wines. Their reds spend five or more years in the cellar before they are bottled, resulting in a rich and flavorful experience. They also offer a unique blend called the Cuca Hill Reserve, which combines Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. I am eager to explore this winery and discover the nuances of their wines. If you have had the pleasure of trying Shaw Vineyard's wines, I would love to hear about your experience. And if you find yourself in the Finger Lakes area, I encourage you to visit and embark on your own wine adventure.The Five Essential Steps of College PlanningNow, let's shift our focus to the topic at hand: college planning fundamentals. It is important to approach college planning with a clear understanding of your goals and priorities. Defining your goals involves determining how much responsibility you and your child will have in funding their education, as well as considering other financial goals that may require attention. It is crucial to establish a timeline for each goal and anticipate any potential detours along the way. By mapping out your college planning journey, you can create a comprehensive and adaptable plan that aligns with your family's unique circumstances.The Power of Savings: Understanding 529 PlansWhen it comes to saving for college, 529 plans are a popular choice.

It allows you to choose the person who will make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself.Key Takeaways:The Five Wishes is a comprehensive living will that addresses personal, emotional, and spiritual needs, in addition to medical wishes.The document allows individuals to choose a healthcare decision-maker and specify their medical treatment preferences.It covers how individuals want to be treated, what they want loved ones to know about them, and their funeral wishes.Distribute copies of the Five Wishes to relevant parties and keep the original in a safe place at home.Aging with dignity involves ensuring that family members are aware of an individual's final wishes.Before we delve into the details of The Five Wishes, let's take a moment to talk about something a little lighter. In our previous episodes, we featured a winery called Billsboro on Seneca Lake. If you ever find yourself in the Finger Lakes area of New York, I highly recommend visiting Billsboro. Their wines are delightful, and the setting in their beautiful old barn is truly picturesque. One wine that stood out to me was their 2022 Sarah, which will be released soon. It's a light and rich-flavored wine that I believe many wine enthusiasts will enjoy.Now, let's get back to the topic at hand: The Five Wishes. This document is a comprehensive living will that covers various aspects of your healthcare and end-of-life wishes. It was created with the help of the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging and is available in 29 languages.The Five Wishes addresses five key areas:1. Choosing a Healthcare Decision-MakerThe first wish allows you to designate the person you want to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. This person, known as your healthcare proxy or agent, will have the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf. It's crucial to choose someone you trust and who understands your values and wishes.2. Defining Your Medical Treatment PreferencesThe second wish focuses on your preferences for medical treatment. It allows you to specify the kind of medical treatment you want or don't want in various scenarios. You can outline your preferences for pain management, comfort, and life-supporting treatments. The document provides options for you to be as specific as you'd like, ensuring that your wishes are known and respected.3. Ensuring Comfort and DignityThe third wish centers around your desire for comfort and dignity. You can express how you want to be cared for, including specific requests such as having pictures of loved ones in your room, being treated with kindness and cheerfulness, or even being called by a particular name or nickname. This wish allows you to define how you want people to treat you during your healthcare journey.4. Communicating Your Personal WishesThe fourth wish is an opportunity for you to communicate your personal wishes to your loved ones. You can express forgiveness, love, and any other sentiments you want your family and friends to know. Additionally, you can outline your preferences for your body after death, such as burial, cremation, or donation. This wish ensures that your
Hey there, wine enthusiasts and financial aficionados! In this episode of "Wine and Dime," I'm thrilled to uncork the complex topic of Power of Attorney in Estate Planning. We'll pour out the details, swirl them around, and give you a taste of why this legal document is a crucial part of your financial vineyard. So, grab your favorite glass, sit back, and let's dive into the world of Power of Attorney, one sip at a time.Remember, just like a good bottle of wine, the Wine and Dime Podcast gets better with time.

If you have any questions that you would like answered on the show, feel free to email us at info@rootedpg.comOr visit us at www.rootedpg.com/podcasts for full show notes and links!Key Takeaways:Powers of attorney can be either temporary or permanent and are essential for planning for emergencies and incapacity.A durable power of attorney remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated, while a nondurable power of attorney ends in such situations.It is crucial to appoint a trustworthy agent with integrity and consider appointing a secondary agent as a backup.A durable financial power of attorney allows the agent to handle the principal's financial affairs, while a durable healthcare power of attorney enables the agent to make medical decisions.Powers of attorney do not continue beyond a person's life, and separate documents are needed for financial and healthcare powers of attorney.A Journey to Billsboro WineryI kicked off the episode with a delightful recount of my visit to Billsboro Winery. Nestled on the shores of Seneca Lake, this winery is a must-visit for all wine lovers. My recommendation? The Alberino - a refreshing white grape wine that's perfect for summer. So, whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to add Billsboro Winery to your itinerary.Decoding Power of AttorneyNext, I uncorked the main topic of the episode: Power of Attorney. I explained the two types of Power of Attorney - financial and healthcare - and the difference between durable and non-durable. I emphasized the importance of appointing a trustworthy agent and having a successor in place. Remember, this isn't legal advice, but a guide to help you understand the terminology and its relevance to your life.Pitfalls to AvoidI also highlighted some common pitfalls to avoid when dealing with Power of Attorney. From appointing the wrong agent to not having access to the physical document, I outlined potential issues that could leave a sour taste in your financial planning.Recommended WineTo pair with this episode's theme, I recommend the Alberino from Billsboro Winery. Much like a Power of Attorney, this wine is there for you when you need it most, providing a refreshing, reliable taste that you can count on. So, as you navigate the complexities of estate planning, take a moment to savor Alberino's crisp, light flavors. After all, who said legal discussions couldn't be paired with a delightful wine?That's it for this episode of "Wine and Dime."

In this episode, I take a look at the Cayuga Lake monster! I haven't really touched on lake monsters on the show yet, but after recently visiting the Finger Lakes region near Ithaca, New York, I had to talk about some of the local legends. Nearby Seneca Lake also has some lake monster sightings, so I delve a bit into that as well. Have you ever heard of Old Greeny, the monster of Cayuga Lake? What do you think about lake monsters? Do they exist? or is there a rational explanation for the sightings? #cayuga #lakemonster #fingerlakes #cryptids #ithaca Links! Follow us on Social media!

Mel Nass is a former IBM engineer who, along with his wife Phyllis, became co-owners of national grape distributor Venture Vineyards, a 150-acre farm just above Seneca Lake. Mel and Phyllis originally visited the Finger Lakes on a camping trip and fell in love with the area…the rest is history! They began raising table grapes such as Concords, Niagaras, Wordens, and seedless grapes that grow well in the Finger Lakes. Mel strategically pitched his grapes to local grocers, first giving them sample orders to sell for 100% profit…the gesture worked like a charm and they soon began calling him to order 100s of boxes at a time. On top of local distribution, he shipped the grapes all over the country and they are now carried by massive supermarkets such as Tops, Wegmans, Wal-Mart, Publix, and Winn Dixie.

Governor Hochul has signed the first-in-the-nation cryptocurrency mining moratorium. The law will put a two-year pause on new and renewed air permits for fossil fuel power plants that house proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining, and requires the state DEC to conduct a study into the practice's climate and environmental impacts.

Bitcoin mining today uses a half percent of the world's electricity. Every year, as more shipping containers and warehouses full of high-powered computers are deployed to unlock more bitcoin, energy use grows by double digits. As bitcoin mining operations scramble to find new power sources, they're often turning to aging coal or fossil gas plants that offer cheap electricity. This week, we'll take you to Seneca Lake, upstate New York, where a group of unlikely activists is fighting back against a “zombie” power plant that is now fueling a Bitcoin mine. What's happening in Seneca Lake is not a one-off story. Across the nation, the companies that own dying, dirty power plants see cryptocurrency as a chance to extend their lives. Bitcoin mining is locking in fossil fuels – so what can we do about it? Guests: Brian Kahn is the climate editor at Protocol. You can read his piece about the Greenidge power plant here.

- State regulators punt a decision on bitcoin mining: For environmental advocates it was another disappointing week, as state leaders from the DEC punted a decision on bitcoin mining. Advocates say there's an environmental cost to the kind of data mining that's taking place at a plant along Seneca Lake in Dresden, Yates County. However, the DEC said no decision would be made until after June's primary elections. Does this give us a clue about the decision coming in a couple months? - Sheriff Povero says staffers actions ‘heroic': On Friday, a student brought a loaded handgun with extra ammunition to the Red Jacket High School in Shortsville. Sheriff Phil Povero says the quick action of staffers inside the building were ‘heroic' and likely prevented a tragedy. A 15-year-old was taken into custody, but little more is known about what led up to Friday's lockdown. As expected, reaction from the community was swift — with support for law enforcement and staff — and questions about how something like this can be prevented in the future. What steps can/should schools take to mitigate the possibility of incidents that are statistically unlikely? - Officer involved shooting: Sheriff Rob Milby said after an officer involved shooting in the town of Ontario that the deputy who responded to the scene retreated a significant distance before firing his sidearm. The deputy was responding to a call from New York State Office of Mental Health for a person who was said to be unstable, off his medication, and possibly intoxicated while operating a vehicle. The person became aggressive, and when deploying a taser didn't work — the deputy fired his weapon. No life threatening injuries were reported, but the debate on social media played out as expected. Some arguing that no force should have been used, while other applauded the deputy. Others were left asking: How can these situations be handled safely and adequately for all involved? - Another shopping mall in flux: Great Northern Mall in the Syracuse area has fallen into disrepair, but county officials don't want it to be another ShoppingTown Mall. They purchased that one two years ago. So, with that scenario unlikely — big questions remain. As shopping malls disappear — vast structures remain — so how should they be repurposed? - Hiring struggles come to life: Thompson Health in Canandaigua has more than 250 openings right now. Last week a job fair was held and just 40 people showed up. Around half were hirable, according to reporting from the job fair. Unemployment numbers continue declining — which begs a fundamental question about economic viability: First off, how does healthcare in rural communities survive these massive labor gaps? Second, looking outside healthcare — how does an economy keep the wheels turning with virtually every business facing the same problem? - Gas tax holiday debated further: Lawmakers at the state and federal level are trying to find ways to hold back fuel prices. One story focused on the price of gasoline, and the need for relief at the pump. Another on home energy prices, as sky high utility bills are reported throughout Upstate New York. Is it time for major action to reduce the cost of gas? What do you think? We want to hear your opinion! Share your thoughts on any of these stories — or questions — by emailing news@fingerlakes1.com.
In the first hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Friday, April 1, 2022, our guests discuss the upcoming decision from the NYSDEC regarding the bitcoin mining operation on Seneca Lake.

I return to the Finger Lakes for an interview with Gene Pierce, the pioneering founder of Glenora Wine Cellars on Seneca Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. Gene’s experience in vineyards spans more than 50 years, and his leadership in the Finger Lakes wine industry spans more than four decades.

She saw him as a free spirit who was never going to get married. She didn't know how to let go of him because maybe there would never be a wedding and a dance.

I just hadn't heard of it. I think it's awesome. So much of life is based on expectations. We anticipate our traditions to be there. The Father Daughter or Mother Son dance at the wedding can be a way of saying I love you and I'm moving on now. But what happens when there's no wedding? This is Shame Piñata. I'm Colleen Thomas. Welcome to Shame Piñata, where we talk about creating rites of passage for real-life transitions. It's season 3 already - I'm not even sure how that happened. I'm so happy to have you with us as we continue exploring the wide variety of rituals and ceremonies we can build to address life's challenges. My hope is that as you navigate what life brings you, you might consider using ritual as a tool to honor yourself for something, or release something you no longer need, or honor in a relationship that's changed and grown over time. Today we will be exploring this last one: what it can look like to honor a relationship that's changed and grown over time. I'm going to invite you into a conversation I had with my friend Astro and his mom Jeanne about a ritual they created together. It started when Astro noticed that his mom seemed to be getting a little triggered whenever he had a serious relationship. There seemed to be some feelings coming up that felt a little codependent or enmeshed. Now, Astro and his mom are really close, so he was able to just go to Jeanne and talk with her about what he was noticing and together they realized that Jeanne might be grieving the loss of her son as she watched him interacting as a grown man with a partner. I invite you to listen in on their story, the delightful way they relate, and how they intuitively turned to ritual to work through the tensions he'd noticed. One quick note - Astro's given name is Patrick, and you'll hear Jeanne refer to him by that name throughout the interview. Colleen: Give me a sense of what your relationships like between the two of you. Jeanne: [LAUGHS] Astro: Hmmm. Jeanne: I think it's fantastic. Astro: Yeah, it's pretty good. Jeanne: But I'll let you speak for yourself. Astro: You go first, then I'll go. Jeanne: Well, I'm aware that… what do I need to say? He's just been a fantastic young man to journey with since he was an infant. Astro: I'm not so young anymore… Jeanne: Huh? Astro: I'm not so young anymore. Jeanne: Well, no, you're not young anymore, but you're full of wisdom and it's just delightful to see how you are operating in life and… So… I happen to be a spiritual director and have done counseling and psychotherapy stuff and all that. So it's not, it's not what do I need to say? So I could go with the flow a lot easier, maybe than some parents. Colleen: Got it. Jeanne: …and that my job was simply to know that he's a gift to the universe and my job was to unwrap him. Colleen: That's beautiful. Astro: Yes, that's nicely said. Jeanne: And so… then there was some times I found out that my wrapping was too tight. Astro: We kind of realized that in kind of rehashing the story, that we had probably the same outcomes, but we had come to the ritual from different places which is really interesting, but that'll come up later. Colleen: And what was going on in your relationship at the time that you had the ritual that led you to the ritual? Astro: So I was at school at Naropa Institute at the University of Creation Spirituality and I was kind of learning initiation and working in ritual and the value of that for rites of passage. And I had just started to like, kind of recognize some dynamics that I'd never seen before, in the dynamic of our story, in our life, in our you know... So when my partner was interacting with my mom and I, there were just some things I was noticing that I hadn't seen in my mom before. So then I just kind of brought up my mom and I was like, “You know, is there something going on?” And she, you know, to her credit, like, it took a little time because these things are kind of unconscious motivations. But it came up and I think she recognized that - this is my memory of it at that time - was that she recognized that there was some stuff and through the work that I had done, ritual work, I was like, “Well, hey, let's dive in and let's figure something out just to address that stuff.” Jeanne: And then, of course, I think I was… I was unconscious. I mean, I wasn't aware. So his bringing that up, made me… enabled me to look at it, and realizing that he's a free spirit, he's a seven in the Enneagram and they're… they don't usually make commitments. And so I figured that he'd probably have many partners, his life and maybe not a long-term committed. But I also was aware of that if there is something that's still tying an umbilical cord of me to Patrick and not setting him free, that perhaps a ritual would be helpful in my letting go, what I wasn't fully conscious of. Astro: What I would, what I was noticing those unconscious things, and I think mom kind of just said it a little bit was just this idea of needing to let go and that's just that's, I think, a natural rite of passage in the story of parents and kids. And that happens through different stages throughout the life and one of those stages is when they are of an age where they, if they so choose to have a kind of a partner and then leave and create a family and life of their own. And I think, because Mom saw me as such a free spirit and world traveler and this kind of person that maybe wasn't going to have a traditional rite of passage, which she would be more used to in her tradition… and she grew up with, you know, much more traditional religious ceremony, AKA marriage, right? So since I probably wasn't going to get married, I think she was feeling a loss of the opportunity to have clarity of my transition from this family into my own. Does that make sense? Jeanne: Yes. Because as I say to him, one of the transitions are the ritual is at a wedding festivity, where oftentimes the bride dances with the father, and there's a letting go… it's a… it's letting go of that bond in celebration of a new relationship. So it's… I didn't realize how meaningful it is for mothers to dance with their sons, because there again is the closeness, the journey, and letting go. So I didn't see that that was going to happen and didn't necessarily constantly have a sense of we that needed to be replaced or or held. It was really, if there is still ties, what is the traditional way in which those ties are released? Astro: Right. Yeah. To summarize, as you stated, we had both recognized there was a need for letting go. Jeanne: Yeah. Colleen: Right. Right. And I think it's amazing that you both had the consciousness… and that you're both on the same page with that. You're both open to that. Astro: Yeah, it took some time. But yeah, we got there. [MUSIC] So they knew what the problem was and they chose to come up with something fun to deal with it. How cool is that, especially between a mother and son? I didn't hear any pointing fingers or blaming. When I hear this story, I see two people coming together to walk around a problem as a team. And I see two people who have seen the power and adaptability of ceremony to move them through an event. Colleen: So, take me through the planning process when you're planning the ritual. Astro: So we live on this beautiful lake and this is… this is already kind of a ceremonial place for us like… it's very spiritual and profound place for our family. We've been… our family's been here for a couple generations, at least Mom's side. So… Jeanne: Oh, on the lake? Yeah. I'd started out in a basket as a baby on Seneca Lake and went other places and came back. Astro: Seneca Lake in the state of New York, in the finger lakes. It's a really special place. Jeanne: It is. Astro: So we knew this would be the ritual spot, the lake. And it was like a beautiful summer time and we just hopped in a small fishing boat and we went out to the middle of the lake. Jeanne: And Patrick had been a tennis player so he had a lot of trophies and I was trying to figure out where to put these trophies. So when he talked about it'd be nice if we had some object or something to release, I thought - ha, ha! Astro: That's so funny because I feel like I I had the same idea at that same time. She thinks it was her idea to do that. [TALKING OVER EACH OTHER] Jeanne: But it was your idea. Anyways, it was a mutual idea. Here's the synchronicity between the two of us. Astro: It was mutual, whoever was there first. Jeanne: So we went through… we went through the trophies deciding which ones were… Astro: …the ugliest. Jeanne: Right. The ugliest or didn't have… necessarily have the… Astro: …we found like two second place ones or something like that. Jeanne: Right. We kept the first place and the ones that really stood out and then decided, okay, these really are just going to take up dust and so, but they are something that was part of my watching him and his being in that sport. And so we decided I'm not sure how many… we…probably at least three… Astro: We took four… Jeanne: …three or four we took out with us in the boat. And then we decided, “Well we're in the boat, how would we work this? Well how about we pick one up and then we talk about starting early on in life.” And I don't remember what we said, but it was segments of our life and celebrate… Astro: I think it was pretty much you doing it like you just kind of took it and you held it and you were present with it and just sort of spoke to like my like… being like a baby and a toddler and what that was like for you and you know… Jeanne: Yeah. Probably so. Astro: And I remember like, some… lot of tears like there was emotion. And I felt like I was kind of holding space. Jeanne: I didn't remember the tears, it was so long ago there. But I thought, you know, it was great to be letting go and letting the memories be cherished and off into the waters. So… Astro: I'm sure we started with some intentional prayer and breathing. Jeanne: I don't know about the breathing at that point. Astro: Well, something centering. Jeanne: But we were… Sure. Astro: It was totally calm, like, the lake's pretty big. It's almost two miles across. We live… we were literally in the middle of the lake. Like we took a time… a while to get out there in a small fishing boat and so we were intentional and… Jeanne: It was a sacred moment. Astro: …and it's like 600 feet deep at that point… Jeanne: …so we knew they'd never come back. [LAUGHS] Astro: [LAUGHS] Yeah, unless they floated! But we got the heavier ones, like the ones with the marble base. Not like the wooden ones… [LAUGHING] Astro: That'd be funny. Colleen: Yeah, I always wonder what that means when I make an offering and it comes back. I'm always like, “Hmmm…” Astro: Yeah, there's a whole nother meaning. Oh, maybe you're not supposed to let go of me. Maybe we're supposed to be enmeshed the rest of our lives. Jeanne: There's a lot of stuff in this lake… people buried… put their ashes in there… Astro: Yeah, we've had friends who've put their ashes… Jeanne: …ashes in the lake. I mean, had a ceremonial ritual with him in the boat. So… and that was before. Yeah, that was before this… our having the ritual. So that wasn't the first time we'd gone out of the boat to recall life and to celebrate life, and to let it go. Colleen: And yet, this was a different, this was a different kind of letting go. This is letting go of a “past life”, of somebody who's still alive who's transitioning and letting go of the past relationship. It was kind of a rebirthing of your relationship. Astro: Totally, totally. And I think that's kind of what it felt like to me is she's announcing,...she's like, to me it's like she's saying, you know, “This trophy is Patrick as a toddler” and letting it go. It's like kind of like a death. And the same thing with like, whatever the next trophy represented and like the adolescence, and letting go of that. And, you know, so that was kind of like a death and a rebirth. When all that was let go, it was definitely a rebirth it felt like and, and you know what we can get into and what to me it felt like a genuine shift, a genuine transformation in our relationship. Jeanne: Which was nice to have that occur. And you know, asking to be sharing this with you then we did a little talking to recall just what did we recall? This was about 18-20 years ago. And so it had for me, I was surprised that it had such an impact on Patrick. Colleen: I'm curious what felt different to you after the ceremony, Astro. Astro: I mean, one of my main motivations, as I said before, was to, like have a pretty copacetic relationship in the family with my partner at the time. And I don't know, I just noticed, a like, sort of this kind of sharpness that I had discovered, like I thought I'd seen in mom when my partner came in, or just certain situations arose that were bringing up this unconscious sort of triggers that were gone, like completely gone. Like she was at ease and I didn't see any of that, that sharpness. That edge had seemed to, like dissipate. It was almost like we had like a sort of, like an unspoken contract, like a secret contract that like, between us that that energy was just dissolved. And it was completely dealt with and didn't exist anymore. And it… to a big extent, and I think our relationship became less around the dependencies and co-dependencies around childrens and parents and it became more about peers and spiritual friends and coworkers on planet Earth. And I think, we're we never lose the fact that we're mother and son, but it became… it was just another phase in us being more, you know, mutual in our lives together as opposed to the dynamic of like, “This is your identity and this is my identity and this is how we relate.” And now there seemed to be much more freedom,and openness and respect. Like I don't know, a lot of people who live live with their parents as regular as I have since I came back, like I do a lot of world traveling. Those years, I wasn't living at home, and then the last few years, I spent a lot of time with my family, with my parents, and we get along like, like gangbusters, we're like friends. You know, some people can't live can't spend more than three days with their parents, you know, without all these codependent dynamics like blowing up in their face. And we literally like… we enjoy each other's company, we have fun together, you know. Jeanne: Right. Astro: I've personally never heard of, of a mother and son, or even a father and a son, one-on-one ritual to mend and heal any unconscious issues that they may have had. I just hadn't heard of it. I think it's awesome and I'm sure people have but I don't know. Colleen: I haven't heard of it either. And the whole first season of the podcast was focused on weddings because I thought it was something that people would be very familiar with the concept of a wedding and talked a lot about how to do a wedding on your own terms and make your own, make it very unique to what you need as a couple, or as more than a couple of it's more than two people that are that are uniting. There was a big theme about unconscious, you know, things coming up mothers of the bride and the groom, you know, “freaking out”, you know, or “bridezillas” or whatever… And all of that, because of not taking the time to, or not having space in our teaching and our learning to allow space for the feelings which are being changed… you know, the reaction to the change of the relationship. Astro: Totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's huge. Well, and this is kind of a spin off of that, I think, the marriage theme. Jeanne: My seeing it not happening, because he's a free spirit and if there was ever a ceremony, it'd be quite different, not knowing it. So just realizing that gee that's not going to probably happen. And how… Astro: So this was our dance. Jeanne: This is our dance. This is our dance. Astro: Letting go. Jeanne: I've had my dance. You can do whatever you want. [LAUGHS] Colleen: Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for telling that story. Jeanne: I have no idea how you're going to put this together in a podcast. Astro: Oh, she's a professional. Jeanne: She's a professional. Thank you, Colleen. And thank you for joining us today for this beautiful story. I love it because it's a clear and simple example of noticing a disconnect within a relationship, acknowledging it, and finding a way to come together again. How much easier could life be if we could openly acknowledge when we're not feeling comfortable about something? If we could say things like, “I'm noticing I'm a little sad that you're getting married,” or “I'm kind of freaked out you're having a baby because I'm afraid I'll never see you again. How can we work with this? How can we stay connected?” It's all about taking care of ourselves, being human, and asking for what we need. Then, finding a fun ceremony to build together!

Sorry for the misfire - harvest got me out of practice!Episode 0024:Wine Reads – November 18, 2021Welcome back to Viti+Culture, and welcome to season 2. It’s been a few weeks since our last podcast, but here we are, rested and ready to deliver some great content. Harvest is finally over, a few fermentations remain bubbling away, the cellar is cleaned, our equipment is winterized, and we are moving into our next phase of cellar work - stabalizing and bottling sparkling wine, preparing to bottle our early release wines like our Cabernet Franc Rose, our White Merlot, and some of our Chenin Blanc, and finally disgorging some of our sparkling wines, such as our 2017 and 2019 Chardonnay based Blanc de Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. I’ll keep you updated as to what winemakers are experiencing in the cellar as we move forward with season, and key you in to some of the winemaking decisions we have along the way.We are also launching a new segment - Wine Reads - where we choose an article from the world of written content on wine, read it on the show, and share our thoughts and opinions on the topic. If you’re a wine writer, feel free to forward me an article for consideration at viticulturepodcast@gmail.com. I’m happy to look it over, and maybe even discuss it with you on the show. We will continue to produce and publish our long-form interviews on YouTube, but some of the shorter content will be podcast and Substack only, so make sure you’ve clicked subscribe in your favorite podcast platform, and sign up to our Substack newsletter. For our first Wine Read, I figured I’d actually reflect on the 2021 vintage by reading the letter I’m preparing to send out to our Missick Cellars Wine Club. I’m excited to be shipping out the first Finger Lakes produced Sparkling Chenin Blanc with that shipment, as well as some other really cool small lot wines, but I also generally engage with our members by sharing some of my deepest thoughts, and letting them know what is going on in the cellar. Here’s a sneak preview of the vintage, an audio taste of our wine club, and a survey of what the final tally of the 2021 vintage felt like. Remember, if you like this podcast, please be sure to rate us 5 stars in Apple podcasts and like our videos on YouTube. It really helps with the ratings and in introducing new folks to the show. Be sure to tune in next week, where I speak with Phil Plummer, winemaker at Montezuma, Idol Ridge, and Fossenvue wineries. Phil embraces the ethos of our show, those of the philosopher-maker, and intertwines culture, art, history, and music in some subtle, and not so subtle ways, into each of his wines. So, here we go, our 2021 Missick Cellars Wine Club Newsletter:Dear Wine Club Member, When I was deployed as a soldier in the Army with Operation Iraqi Freedom, every few months we were able to take an R&R day, and head down to the large U.S. base in Kuwait on the coast of the Persian Gulf called Camp Doha. Camp Doha had a PX (post exchange) that was both sized and filled with the inventory of a Super Walmart. It was where we could stock up on nearly everything we needed, or wanted, to get us through the long weeks back at our small desert outposts. Camp Doha also had a Starbucks and a Burger King, all of which brought a sense of normalcy, but also a little bit of cognitive dissonance. I remember browsing those location oriented Starbucks mugs while waiting in line that list the city you are in, and looking at the one with Kuwait City and the skyline depicted. I wish I would have bought one as a memento. The pearl of Camp Doha in those days however, was a place called the Marble Palace. It was a short bus ride from camp, and had a large recreational pool adjacent to the Gulf, there were therapeutic masseuses, and in many ways, offered everything you could find at a luxury resort. It was, for a day, potentially overnight if you had some other business to attend to, a respite from the dusty tents we slept in, the day to day monotony of my job as a Signal Corps non-commissioned officer, guard tower shifts in 110 degree temperatures, and hours spent sitting under the skud bunkers scattered all throughout my home camp with a battle buddy, talking about home. Harvest certainly does not carry the emotional intensity or gravity of deployment, I would not sell our servicemembers short by drawing a straight line between the experience of deployment and the intensity of the harvest or the crush pad. There are analogies though, and in many ways, the pace of harvest rarely allows for the periods of pause and contemplation that a deployment permits. Nonetheless, as harvest approaches, the mind prepares for what you know will be extremely long days, endless physicality, isolation from family and friends (outside the wine industry), discomfort, and exhaustion. Similarly, it provides a purpose, a mission, with goals that must be accomplished, in specific periods of time with little room for error. The elements of weather, of available resources, the risk of physical danger around powerful equipment if you’re careless or thoughtless, and the knowledge that there is an end date, all provide a very similar psychological framework to that the soldier experiences. You have set out on a path, the end goal is known, there will be surprises and challenges, but at the end of this period, victory is in sight.I recalled my time at the Marble Palace, a place I hadn’t thought about in years, after returning home for the first time in what felt like weeks (though it had only been a few days), to spend an entire day and night with my family. It was mid-October, about half-way through crush, and having the chance to push Andrew and Audrey on the swing-set in the backyard, sharing dinner at the table with the family, and having my wife Laure massage my shoulders that night made home feel like the R&R I had been craving. I particularly enjoy pairing our wines with meals during harvest. It puts a perspective on the hard work we are presently enmeshed in, and opening the time capsules of vintages past during dinner with the family, ties moments of our past to moments of the present, even as we all sacrifice and work for the future that is gurgling away through its fermentation in the cellar. Perhaps the moments from my deployment were fresh with me this year after what we witnessed in Afghanistan in August, and during which I spent countless hours speaking with other veterans and checking in on friends that I knew had spent years of their life in that country. Perhaps it was because we were shorter on cellar staff this year than in years’ past, placing extra burdens and extra work on myself and my assistant. Maybe it was simply because I see my children growing so fast and am realizing how quickly time goes with every year we gather around the table to watch them blow out that additional candle on the cake. And finally, it may have been because this was such a difficult harvest, where extra vineyard work coupled with crucial picking decisions dictated the quality of the wine that was made, and with our first year of a significant harvest from our estate vineyard, I felt an enormous amount of pressure to deliver the best possible effort to everyone who enjoys our wine. 2021 was our most difficult vintage since 2018. As with 2018, moisture was the catalyst for a lot of stress on vineyard crews this vintage. The heavy rainfall, high temperatures, and high dewpoints which kept vineyard canopies and clusters too wet for too long in 2018, had analogs for all of us who farm grapes in the Finger Lakes this year. Granted, temperatures were not as high as three years ago, and dewpoints were not as deleterious, the rain proved a difficulty that we had to navigate around. There were indeed some much needed breaks, three or four days here, maybe a week there, but from August through the end of October, the rain fell, and we needed to be cognizant of when it was falling.Though 2021 wasn’t our largest harvest, between our own wines and some custom crush projects, we processed nearly 70 tons of fruit, with about 6 tons coming from our own vineyard. We managed an incredibly clean harvest of Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Cabernet Franc, with multiple passes in the Riesling in order to produce some different styles of estate wines, from sparkling to still. Our vineyard, planted in 2019, is in what is called its third leaf, in other words, its third growing season. The third leaf is generally when you can expect to get your first real crop, with an expansion of yield occurring in the following vintages. Of course, yield is not the most important aspect. The vineyard must be balanced, producing enough fruit to match the energy output of the vine, but not so much that you stress the vine or dilute the concentration of flavors that a vineyard can deliver.In addition, we worked with our traditional growing partners at Gibson Vineyard and Morris Vineyard, to bring in varietals like Seyval Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Valvin Muscat, and some other hybrids that will go into our Foreword series. Although we have a significant amount of wine still fermenting, I must share with you that I am more proud of this vintage than nearly any in the last 10 years. There are vintages that naturally make great wines. The weather is perfect from April to November, harvest happens on your schedule and not based on the risk of rain, and every piece of equipment cooperates fully with no downtime or repairs required. I think of vintages like 2012, 2016, and 2020, where a winemaker can only get in the way of making good wine. Nature gave us great, clean and ripe fruit, and we need only fulfill its promise. Vintages like 2021 require inordinate amounts of attention to detail, a willingness to sacrifice bad fruit in the vineyard in order to make good wine in the cellar, a dedication and time commitment unparalleled in many other fields, and a drive that overlooks exhaustion, lack of sleep, and sore muscles. Those ingredients have added up to what amounts to be the proof of work, required in challenging wine regions like the Finger Lakes, and years like 2021, that deliver high quality, deliciousness, and inspiration even under trying circumstances. These are the vintages that prove the mettle of the winemaker. 2021 will be a vintage that I believe will deliver some of our best sparkling wines. On their way in the years to come will be a small lot of estate Chenin Blanc, Cab Franc Rose, Chardonnay based Blanc de Blanc, Estate Riesling, and Gewurztraminer. Our sparkling wine program has continued to grow and witness strong sales, and we are responding by increasing production with the focused goal of being known as one of the great sparkling wine producers in the region and the U.S.In other areas of “winery life,” our brand change continues moving ahead. New signage should be up by the spring, and new labels showing up on shelves in Upstate New York retailers. Our new labels shipped in October, and we began labelling wines as quickly as we could. Our new labels speak to our place, with the shoreline of Seneca Lake outside our cellar presenting the background frame for where we are, our new logo, as discussed in our previous letters playing a prominent role, and each wine now suggesting a specific food and wine pairing. Of course, these are only my opinions, but I welcome you to try them out and send me your suggestions as well!I generally try to make our Fall Wine Club shipment focused on wines that I think will pair well for Thanksgiving, and so with that backdrop, each of these wines will be on our Thanksgiving table, paired perfectly with all of the classic accoutrements of my favorite holiday. 2020 Sparkling Chenin BlancI’ve mentioned in the past that we have been pioneering Chenin Blanc in the Finger Lakes since 2015, when we engaged in our first contract planting of the varietal at the Gibson Vineyard. The logic was pretty simple… I love Loire Valley wines. The Loire, being a cool climate growing region in France, famously grows Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. One of the most premiere subregions in the Loire Valley, is Vouvray. What is wonderful about Vouvray wines, is that so many different wine styles can emerge from them. From dry crisp whites, to sparkling, to wonderfully rich and sweet styles, Chenin Blanc from Vouvray exhibits an amazing amount of versatility. Knowing that the Finger Lakes can have such variable vintages, with there being a necessity to alter the styles of wine depending upon what the year gives us, combined with the fact that Cabernet Franc is, in my opinion, our premiere red varietal, planting Chenin Blanc just made sense to me. We garnered our first harvest in 2017, making only a few dozen cases. We have continued exploring the varietal, planting our estate block, and making a wide range of Chenin Blanc wines. This spring, I hope to release our 2020 barrel fermented dry Chenin Blanc, alongside our 2021 estate Chenin Blanc which was fermented in stainless steel and finished with a touch of sweetness. In the meantime, I’m extremely excited to share this first, Wine Club disgorgement of our 2020 Chenin Blanc.We began producing sparkling Chenin Blanc in 2019, but that wine remains in tirage, resting on its lees in bottle, with an anticipated disgorgement in 2023. Only 50 cases were made in 2019, and with its level of acidity, it will need time to grow into its full potential. 2020, being a beautiful and ripe vintage, also managed to deliver to us some exhilarating and fresh sparkling wine bases. Our 2020 Sparkling Chenin is technically an early disgorgement. Most of the 100+ cases will be disgorged at a later date, but with the profile of this wine showing such elegance, I wanted to disgorge a special lot for our wine club members to enjoy this holiday season. Just prior to harvest, we disgorged 30 cases, removing the spent yeast sediment and finishing the wine with a small dosage of a few grams of residual sugar. This sparkling wine is still dry, but accentuates the wonderful fruit that comes from Chenin Blanc from the Gibson Vineyard. Rather than topping the bottle with a Champagne cork, we opted to use a stainless steel crown cap. Most of the time, when I use cork on sparkling wine, I will let the wine sit in the cellar for up to 6 months before release. It can take quite a bit of time to allow the cork to cease its propensity to expand. Trying to open a sparkling wine that has just been corked is nearly impossible, and can be dangerous if it is tried with a corkscrew due to the pressure inside. Opening with a bottle opener isn’t as exhilarating as popping a cork, but I assure you, it has no impact on the quality. It also means, you won’t have a problem opening it on Thanksgiving, should you want to share it with family and friends. Produced in the classic traditional method, the base wine was picked slightly early, fermented to dryness, and chaptalized with 24 grams per liter of sugar prior to bottling with a yeast culture. The wine then went through its bottle fermentation and aged for around a year on the lees in the bottle prior to disgorgement. This is the first sparkling Chenin Blanc ever produced and released in the Finger Lakes, and we managed such a small disgorgement in order to ensure that our Wine Club members received the first chance at tasting the “unicorn” wine. It has actually been one of the fun benefits of having the only two plantings of Chenin Blanc in the Finger Lakes, since ever demi sec, barrel fermented, sparkling, and dessert Chenin will inevitably be the first ones ever produced and released. My hunch is, given some time and the opportunity to taste what these wines can do, we’ll start seeing more and more plantings of the varietal in the region. When that happens, you’ll be able to say you joined us in this journey before anyone else. 2019 Morris Vineyard RieslingAs you may know, my philosophy on Riesling is to treat it with utmost care, producing dozens of small lots from which I can later blend our mainline Dry Riesling and Riesling. I do that because I see these two wines as the canvas upon which I paint my view of that vintage through this varietal. Fermenting in small lots, in different mediums with different yeast cultures, provides the color palette from which we can paint these pictures. It is from these small lots that some exciting single vineyard, or specifically designated wines come from. Our 2019 Morris Vineyard Riesling is no exception. An incredibly small lot of 22.5 cases, this bottling represents a single barrel of Riesling which exhibited such immense appeal to me, that I wanted to be able to share it with our wine club. Fermented in a ten year old barrel that delivered little to no oak flavor influence, this wine was uninoculated. In other words, no commercial yeast culture was added to this wine, rather, only ambient yeasts converted the sugars in this wine to alcohol. The Australians have a term for these wines - ferrell ferments. Ferrell, referring to the fact that the fermentations are wild, are characterized by their lack of intervention from the winemaker. Interestingly, it also means that there likely wasn’t a single yeast culture that fermented the wine, but rather, numerous different cultures that rose and fell in dominance depending on the conditions of the wine, i.e., the alcohol, nutrient load, etc., at any given time. It was our job to merely produce fresh clean wines with as light of a hand as possible. Consequently, after fermentation, the wine was allowed to rest on its lees (spent yeast) until March of 2020, when it received a small dose of sulfur to prevent oxidation. It was removed from the barrel in June of 2020, and bottled in July. We allowed the wine to cellar in a temperature controlled room until this shipment and its release. In ten years, we have likely released more than 50 Rieslings. Some vintages have seen as many as 8 different bottlings of the varietal. Of all these different wines, this specific bottling is likely my favorite bottling of still Riesling to date. Although dry, it provides generous fruit and balanced, but bright, acidity. It is a perfect food pairing wine, and will be an excellent accompaniment for Thanksgiving Dinner. 2018 Cabernet FrancOf all the wines I produce, if there is one that my wife will most frequently ask me to grab for dinner from the winery, it will be one of my Cabernet Francs. She loves them, and she also loves the variability they provide vintage after vintage. Our 2017 Cabernet Franc, with a bright and sunny fall, but coming from a slightly larger crop, was refreshing and light with prominent notes of cherry and raspberry. It has been the kind of wine enjoyed with a meal, and just as often, with some chocolate and television, relaxing after we have put the kids to bed. Our 2018 is a much deeper wine, with slightly more pronounced tannin, richer color, and complement of herbs to match the fruit. It’s richer texture can carry fattier meats, and pairs just as well with game. It has become the new favorite around our house, and it is wine I am thrilled to be releasing shortly. As with the other wines in this shipment, Wine Club members are getting the first tastes of these exciting new releases.When it comes to producing red wines, I do engage in some slightly different cellar practices than many of my other colleagues in the Finger Lakes. I have mentioned many times before, but saignee is a French word for “the bleed.” This practice involves removing portions of juice from a red wine fermentation before the fermentation has begun. The goal of this technique is to naturally increase the skin to juice ratio of the red wine fermentation, thereby increasing the availability of anthocyanins and tannins. Anthocyanins are the red color molecule that gives red wine its color, and so by increasing the availability of this molecule in the fermentation, I am able to produce deeper color red wines. Additionally, increasing the tannin naturally provides more bonding points for the color, and adds structure to the wine. All of this is in the backdrop of understanding that berry size tends to be much larger in the Finger Lakes, due to the amount of rainfall we receive. Saignee provides the winemaker with a natural tool to make deeper, more structured red wines, while also making some pretty delicious rose from that initial “bleed.” Finally, there is an impact on the acidity of the wine. Grape skins contain potassium, and potassium can help precipitate tartaric acid during the fermentation, naturally lowering the level of acid and increasing the pH of the wine.
