Corks & More Introduces WineStation® Offering Ithaca Guests an Incomparable Food and Wine by the Glass Experience

The opening of Corks & More, by Cayuga Lakes Cruises, debuts WineStation to usher in a new food & wine tasting experience, featuring regional and world renowned wines.

Corks & More of Ithaca, N Y has debuted Napa Technology’s WineStation® Intelligent Dispensing Systems to compliment the opening of its groundbreaking wine bar / lounge design, and small tasting plates dining concept.

Opening on New Year’s 2010, BJ Bliss, Owner and CEO of Corks and More, noted, “the Ithaca area is renowned for introducing breakthrough concepts in food, wine and dining. What’s been missing is an experience that lets guests explore, taste and enjoy unique food selections paired with great wines by the glass, whether they’re from the Finger Lakes area, California or other celebrated wine regions of the world. Corks & More is designed to do just that”.

Bliss added, “Our goal from the onset is to offer our guests an assortment of forty plus finer wines by-the-glass, served through WineStation’s patented Clean-Pour technology. Their 60 day preservation system will insure our patrons will experience the same, first-time taste the winemakers intended, each and every time, whether they choose from a taste, half or full glass of a wine which best compliments their food selection from our new and expanded menu ”.

Bliss continues, “we selected WineStation to be at the heart of our concept, to let our guests come in, purchase a Corks and More Tasting Card along with delectable dishes designed for sharing and socializing, then ‘kick back’  in our relaxing lounge environment”.

From a business perspective Bliss added that WineStation’s preservation, pour size selection (1oz. taste, 2.5oz half or 5oz full glass) and reporting, also gives us the controls required by the business.”

Jeffrey Brooks, co-founder and managing director of Napa Technology said, “We’re proud to have been selected by Corks & More. BJ and his team are bringing a new level of innovation and wine culture to the people of the Finger Lakes Region. Their uses of WineStation to serve their guests in the casual lounge setting and through special events are just one of the uses we envisioned when WineStation was created to deliver a memorable food and wine experience”.
