You heard it through the Grapevine: NY drinks best

When you visit a place with a name like The Grapevine Cafe, you sort of expect it to pay attention to its wine list. In the case of the Johnson City (Broome County) establishment of that name it does, and Finger Lakes winemakers should be happy about it.

Rita Moelder, owner of the cafe that opened in August but just had its grand opening in October in the space formerly occupied by Kudo's Tavern, has a New York State-centric point of view when it comes to her alcoholic beverage menu,

"All of our wines are New York State wines -- all of which are Finger Lakes wines," she said in an interview with pressconnects,com. "We have beers from local breweries like Binghamton Brewing Company, Water Street Brewing Company, .Galaxy Brewing Company, Southern Tier Brewing Company, and we want to add an Owego brewery, too."

The Grapevine Cafe is located at 220 Main Street in ,Johnson City. Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11:30 a.m to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Phone: (607) 729-1000.
