Water into Wine
As the rain started to turn the mounds of snow into rivers of slush today, the sky signaled the impending “in between” season – that restless time after gentle snowfalls and cross country skiing mark full-blown winter, but before the green buds and singing birds get us excited for warmer weather. It’s only February and this is Buffalo, so it’ll probably snow again. Come late March, though, what Vermonters call “mud season” will be here, cabin fever will run rampant, and even the most creative indoor amusement will have long lost its charm. Wine starts to sounds better than usual.
Through that train of thought I realized I completely forgot to share an article I wrote for Edible Buffalo’s winter issue about a new winery called Flight of Five in Lockport. It’s inside the old city hall right next to the Erie Canal, a landmark building with soaring pressed tin ceilings (pictured above) that had been hidden under a nasty old drop ceiling for decades. The owners are canal aficionados, and they bring the historic waterway into the urban winery’s character in ways that are really neat. Flight of Five is on the Niagara Wine Trail, a tour of which would make an excellent “in between” season Saturday adventure.
