We're talking about two great things that go great together in this episode of our podcast. First we're off to Six Mile Creek Vineyard, the only Finger Lakes winery actually located in Ithaca, to chat with winemaker Paul King about his work and find out what makes their wines and spirits unique.

Then we continue eating our way through every restaurant in Ithaca from A-Z, this time heading up South Hill for dinner at John Thomas Steakhouse, a restaurant like no other in town. It's a high-calorie episode, so chew slowly and enjoy every bite!
