RIESLING ROCKS AND RIESLING MONTH
Riesling Rocks in the Finger Lakes!
Riesling is the region's most widely planted Vinifera variety, with almost 1000 acres. The microclimate condition and the slate soils that are so special to the Finger Lakes is exactly what makes Riesling thrive. Considering all this, it is no wonder why the Finger Lakes is one of the top Riesling producing regions in the world. The wineries of Finger Lakes Wine Country continue to be internationally recognized for their world-class Rieslings and are now making history. Finger Lakes Rieslings have been featured in Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Food & Wine, Wine & Spirits, Decanter, among others and have won many prestigious medals at wine competitions like Riesling du Monde (Rieslings of the World) and even featured on PBS's new show, Vine Talk.

There is so much to see, do and taste that we will Spring into Riesling on April 1, 2011. Throughout April and May, celebrate all things Riesling.

Andy Warhol: Cowboys and Indians,
January 22, 2011 - Mid-October, 2011 | In the 1980s, Warhol made several series of thematically related images featuring "history's victims" including Ten Jews of the Twentieth Century (1980) and Endangered Species (1983). Cowboys and Indians (1986) was his last series on the theme. Taking his images from photographs, Warhol portrayed aggressive cowboy types: General Custer, who became famous posthumously after the battle of the Little Big Horn; Teddy Roosevelt, shown in uniform as an Indian fighter; John Wayne, the quintessential Hollywood cowboy; and even Annie Oakley, the popular Buffalo Bill Wild West sharpshooter. In poignant contrast, he represented Indians mostly through Native American art objects (which he had photographed at the Museum of the American Indian in New York City) - a Northwest Coast Indian mask, Hopi Kachina dolls, and a Plains Indian shield. His Native portraits are the vulnerable figures of a mother and child, and Apache Chief Geronimo after his capture and exile in Florida.
