Wine and Dime Special Edition - New York 23rd Candidate, Tracy Mitrano

In this special edition of Wine and Dime, I had the opportunity to speak with New York 23rd district candidate for Congress, Tracy Mitrano. We talked about financial issues, such as student load debt and medical expenses. Tracy shared with us her concern about these topics, and her plans to help New Yorkers in the 23rd District. And this wouldn't be "Wine and Dime" if we didn't talk about or favorite wines and the foods that we like paired with them... so we did that too.

It was a pleasure to speak with Tracy on a variety of topics and get a little insight on a few topics she is passionate about. As with any election, I like to look at all the candidates and decide who is a right fit for me and my family. I encourage everybody to take a look at all the candidates and decide on your own. When people ask me my political affiliation I often respond with, "I'm not a Democrat... I'm not a Republican... I'm an American"

"I'm running to put people first again by fighting to bring economic opportunity to NY-23. It's not about Republican or Democrat. It's about working and middle class people. It's about our children and grandchildren. It's about what we need, what we want, and what we deserve. It's about uniting around our common values and making NY-23's rural communities, towns, and cities a great place to live, work and raise a family."

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION DAY IS

TUESDAY 6/26,

POLLS ARE OPEN 12PM - 9PM

The Wine... In this case, the Wineries

Tracy has incredible knowledge of the local wineries, so much so, that we couldn't possibly list all the wines that were mentioned. So we'll list the wineries instead and you can go take a look at their selections!

McGregor Vineyard

Welcome to one of the oldest wineries in the Finger Lakes featuring estate grown and bottled vinifera wines. We invite you to sample these exquisite wines in our seated tasting room while enjoying the most spectacular views of Keuka Lake.

Fox Run Vineyards

Fox Run Vineyards breaks down the barriers to the wine experience. We offer in-depth tours of the vineyard and winemaking facility, a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a Café that features a fully house-made menu with produce from our garden. Fox Run Vineyards is family-owned, and has been making estate wines since 1989.

Keuka Spring Vineyards

For 30 years, Keuka Spring has been consistently recognized for excellence. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff looks forward to guiding you through a tasting of our award-winning wines. Our wine list includes wines for every taste, handcrafted from vineyard to bottle. We have one of the best selections of red and white wines in the Finger Lakes.

Anthony Road

John and Ann Martini moved to Anthony Road in 1973 at the urging of a friend that touted the joys of grape growing in the Finger Lakes. They loaded up 2 young children and left their home in Baltimore, where John worked for WR Grace to set up their farming life on the west side of Seneca Lake. Surprisingly neither Ann nor John had an agricultural background, unless you count John’s youthful summers at his grandparent’s farm in Melvin, Illinois. But together and with the help of family and friends they planted their first 5-acres, Foch, in the summer of 1973. The vineyard grew, to 30-acres, as did the Martini family, to 4 children, but it was quickly realized that an outside job was needed to support their endeavors. John joined the staff at the Cornell’s Experiment Station in Geneva and Ann took over the day to day operations and maintenance of both the household and the vineyard.

Amy Irvine

Uncorking Amy Irvine!!

If any of you have ever met Amy, you know she is passionate about
three things. Family, Finances, and WINE! This comes through in all
that she does and all that she is. When asked to describe herself she first and foremost states, “I am a wife, a daughter, and hopefully a good friend, who happens to also be a financial planner.” Amy holds a Master’s Degree in financial planning and is a Certified Financial Planner TM , Enrolled Agent, Certified College Financial Consultant, and a Financial Wellness Coach with over 25 years of financial planning and industry experience. She is the Founder and owner of Rooted Planning Group, (Formerly known as Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies LLC), which started in 2016 and has grown to include 6 other planners and 2 part-time staff members. Amy is definitely “doing it her way” and has been recognized by her financial planning colleagues as being a “disrupter,” a title she holds close to her heart and is proud of.

Uniquely, at the age of 44, she decided to not only start her only company, but to act on what she defined as her perfect life and she splits her time between Parrish, Florida and Jasper, New York.
On her website it states, “I love what I do, but I also very much enjoy warmth, good
conversation, wine tastings, and volunteering. New York is extraordinary in the summer and fall, but so is Florida in the winter.”
In 2018, she decided it was time to take the stigma out of finances by combining her passion for finances and wine. She started a podcast called “Wine and Dime,” which highlights a different wine and financial topic each week, and she released her book combining those same two passions, titled, “Uncork Your Finances.”
Many of you may know her as one of the co-founders of the Southern Tier Women’s Financial Conference – a day of collaboration and financial education, which will be hosting it’s sixth year!
To round out her volunteering passion, she often provides financial education to the
community through the financial management program of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County, she serves on the board of Faith-in-Action of Steuben County, volunteers for various Fund For Women of the Southern Tier events, works with the finance committee of the Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, and serves on the board for the Corning Painted Post Historical Society (also known as Heritage Village).
In her downtime, you’re likely to find her with a glass of red wine from one of the many Keuka or Seneca Lake wineries that she highlights in her Wine and Dime Podcast.
