The land on which White Springs Farm is located was home to a large Seneca Indian settlement, due to the natural springs and the proximity of Seneca Lake. 

The Farm’s tradition of advanced and scientific farming methods firmly established it as one of the most important agricultural enterprises in western New York.  At its peak, in the early 1800s, White Springs Farm consisted of 1,600 acres.  During this period, the owner specialized in sheep raising and had 1,200 or more to promote and improve the science of sheep-husbandry.  During the late 1800s, the Farm was home to the finest and most celebrated Short Hair Durham herd in the world and later the largest herd of imported Guernsey cattle.  In the early 1900s, the Farm became one of the foremost fruit farms in the northeast, with the cherry and peach orchards being the largest in the state. White Springs Winery is located just south of the City of Geneva on Route 14.  The spacious 5300 square foot facility features a panoramic view of Seneca Lake as well as an expansive tasting bar and gift shop.

Food Critic Claims Scandal‘s Olivia Pope Treats Wine Like a ‘Can of Beer’ It’s not enough that Olivia Pope has to deal with party-hardy First daughters and a bullet lodged in a dead president’s head: Now The New York Times has got some stuff to say about her wine-drinking technique. In his column, food and wine critic Eric Asimov discussed the drinking habits of female television characters on Homeland, Cougar Town and The Good Wife, though he seemed to be especially focused on Pope (played by Kerry Washington). “No show uses wine more than Scandal to portray character. It’s not enough for the audience to infer that Olivia loves wine from her drinking habits. We have to be reminded of it regularly,” he wrote. Asimov is also quick to point out gaffes on the show, like the fact that neither the Châteauneuf-du-Pape “du Bellay” (delivered to Pope and Jake on a tropical island) or the “Château Antoine ’91,” which she identifies after taking a sip in a restaurant with her father, are wines that actually exist.

Along with the lack of proper fact-checking, Asimov also implies that Pope isn’t exactly acting like much of a connoisseur herself. “But if she is an expert, Olivia treats even the finest wine as if it were a can of beer. She habitually grabs goblets by the bulb rather than the stem, as a wine lover would. She never swirls and sniffs, the ritual that non-wine drinkers alternately find amusing, affected or annoying. She guzzles rather than sips,” Asimov wrote. Of course, Asimov admits that behaviors like sipping and swirling would make Washington’s character seem too “precious” and therefore less believable. “Gladiators, as Olivia and her associates style themselves, don’t swirl. He also points out that the attorney is using her wine to “self-medicate,” á la the lovesick Humphrey Bogart with his shots in Casablanca, which a true wine lover might take issue with. “Classic wine culture … puts wine at the center of the table, to be savored as a vital component of a meal rather than a stand-alone drink,” he writes.

FILED UNDER: Cocktails , Food on Film , Kerry Washington , Stars & Chefs , Wine On a clear day, you can see forever—or at least that’s the wicked thought behind L.A. designer Agi Berliner’s transparent idea: see-through jeans. Exhibitionists notwithstanding, most folks wear them over bathing suits or as attention-getting evening wear with halters, garter belts and body stockings. Created for the disco crowd, the $34 jeans are selling like, well, hot pants. In just six weeks, 25,000 pairs have already been sold in such major department store chains as Macy’s, Bonwit’s and Saks. “What’s limiting American designers is that we’re afraid to do something different,” says Berliner, 32, a Hungarian émigré who fled with her family to the U.S. in 1956.

Agi thought up the gimmick in London while marveling at the way plastics were being employed by designers of punk fashion. In her L.A. office, where she designs for La Parisienne junior sportswear, Agi spent five days on the phone and six weeks testing to come up with the right plastic. Agi herself tried out the French-cut jeans with the zipper in front, and quickly found several problems: Some plastics tore away from stitching, others wouldn’t bend and all fogged with perspiration. The ideal material proved to be a vinyl supplied by a bookbinder. The steam was eliminated with a series of vents behind the knees and in the crotch. “They’re no hotter than polyester pants,” claims Agi, “and if you wear them with tights, they won’t stick to your legs.” Whatever the discomfort and despite the problem of Saturday night feverishness, discomaniacs report one major advantage of the plastic pants: no laundry bills. To keep Berliner’s see-through jeans clear, all the wearer needs is a little Windex.
