08/17/2026

Thank you Geneva On The Lake for hosting our “Riesling Sandwich” event courtesy of Skurnik Wines & Spirits and Wegmans Food Markets.

Our event featured exceptional Rieslings of differing styles - dry, off-dry, semi-sweet and sweet paired with a delectable array of summer eats and treats.

Thank you to our hosts Keith Beavers and Bryce Wiatrak MW for guiding us through our wine pairing experience.

We hope to bring even more experiences such as this in 2028!

A funny thing happens at the end of a weekend like this.

Everyone’s exhausted. Palates wrecked. Brains full.

And somehow… nobody wants to go home.

People drift from bottle to bottle, conversation to conversation, chasing one last taste and one last story.

To everyone who traveled across oceans, poured, cooked, volunteered, planned, hauled tables, washed glasses, and believed that this was worth building… Thank you.

Until next time!

A breezy lunch on the lake. Bottles constantly changing hands. Then into the Smith Opera House, where some of the brightest people in wine came together to challenge old ideas and imagine what’s next.

Palates completely shot.

Still somehow thirsty.

The Riesling Crawl is where the weekend loosens its collar. Linden Street buzzing. Finger Lakes summer in full force. Winemakers, importers, sommeliers, and acid freaks from around the world wandering from pour to pour, conversation to conversation.

This is the heartbeat of FLXcursion.

There’s something beautiful about watching wines from halfway across the world land on the same table as wines grown just down the road.

Not to compete. Not to prove a point.

Just to ask better questions.

What do they share? Where do they diverge? What does a cool climate in Germany have to say to one in the Finger Lakes? How does a chef pull those threads together into a meal that makes everyone at the table see both places a little differently?

The best dinners leave you full.

The great ones leave you curious.

These did both.

Here’s a recap.

The best part was never just what was in the glass.

It was watching producers from opposite sides of the world geek out over Riesling.

World-class wine. Familiar faces. New friends. Producers who flew halfway across the planet because they could feel the pulse of the Finger Lakes.

Just the first chapter.
