✨ Help settle a friendly debate.

We've narrowed the Sips & Spells keepsake wine glass design down to two finalists, and opinions around here are split.

Rather than decide ourselves, we want to hear from the people who would actually take this glass home and add it to their collection.

We always knew Cayuga Lake was something special... now National Geographic does too. 😉🌊

Named one of the best lakes in the U.S. for a scenic summer getaway, Cayuga Lake offers the perfect mix of wine country, waterfront views, outdoor adventure, and small-town charm.

Take a look at why our little slice of the Finger Lakes earned a spot on the list. 🍷☀️⬇️

From iconic mountain lakes to one of America’s favorite fishing holes, these lakes are the perfect summer vacation for travelers looking to escape crowded beaches.

Slow down. Sip. Stay awhile. 🍷🌿

The best Sundays include a glass of wine, a little shade, and vineyard views stretching into the distance.

Sounds pretty perfect to us.
