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.

As a kid, I always liked numbers. I would spend hours creating math problems and solutions. Whenever I wanted to play math teacher, my brother was forced to be my student! Given my love of facts and figures, it’s really no surprise that I chose a career where I work with numbers.

I believe that you can use your dollars and cents to create and live a meaningful life unique to your own dreams and desires. I started Rooted Planning Group because I wanted to offer financial PLANNING services. Our profession has a tendency to focus on “assets under management,” but I wanted to focus on the journey of your life (what I refer to in the podcast as your financial “vineyard”). I truly believe that, like wine, life and finances have different palettes that should be celebrated and not judged.

My journey as a business owner was not a direct path; it’s more of a long and winding road. Over the course of the past 30 years, I’ve worked in various financial services positions, but I’m most proud of the ensemble of women that I’ve brought together at Rooted Planning Group.

I am the author of Uncork Your Finances and the podcast host of Money Roots.

I also co-founded the Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference in 2014, an annual event dedicated to collaboration, networking, and financial education for women.
