NYSCPG invites you to attend a special limited engagement at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY on Saturday, September 15, 2018. We have arranged for a private viewing of the museum that evening from 5:00pm till 8:00pm. Stroll the hallways and explore the exhibits with your guest as you sample wine from local vintners. A certified sommelier will be sampling three Finger Lakes rieslings to demonstrate the influence of the regional geology on the different wine growing regions of the Finger Lakes.  Cheese and snacks will be available to pair with the wine.  Later in the evening, enjoy a catered dinner of area farm to table cuisine with fellow geologists.
