The Finger Lakes Wine Center may be no more.
The downtown Ithaca venue that would have been celebrating its second anniversary next week has closed. Or, as board vice president Fred Bonn, who also is director of the Ithaca-Tompkins Convention and Visitors Bureau, calls it, a ?pause? for reorganization.
It was put together with a half-million dollars from state and local sources: i.e., mostly your money. It wasn?t as large and glossy as the sprawling New York Wine & Culinary Center in nearby Canandaigua, holding small tasting events and promising classes, and its very existence was seen by some ? including me ? as overkill in a state that already had enough wine-centric operations in the greater Finger Lakes area.
It took only one year for the facility to begin unraveling.
