The LENNDEVOURS/New York Cork Report team has grown by yet another New York wine lover today. Please join me in welcoming Julia Burke to the site, focusing mainly on the Niagara Escarpment region, but also chiming in on beer on occasion.Julia has lived in the Buffalo, NY area for over ten years. She discovered the Niagara Escarpment wine scene entirely by accident and soon became completely immersed in the world of wine, leaving behind her previous aspirations of moving to Cambodia to live in a yurt. She looks forward to making her own wine someday and watching the Niagara Escarpment become a world-renowned wine region.
Julia enjoys cooking, hiking, and traveling, ideally with a glass of
wine in hand. She has spent time in Oregon, Nova Scotia, Denmark,
Ireland, France, and China, and hopes to add South Africa, New Zealand
and India to the list.
Originally a beer enthusiast, she enjoys an occasional pint in the vineyard.
So again, please join me in welcoming Julia to the team.
To quote Bruce Willis in "Die Hard": Welcome to the party, pal!

To quote Bruce Wills in Die Hard again:
"Yippy-Kay-Yay-Motherf**ker"

Welcome! As a hazing exercise, they told you about buying everyone a case of Cornas, right?

Welcome aboard!
I will refrain from sullying a masterpiece such as Die Hard by quoting it. I wonder if John McClane likes bubbly?
