Go&Do Wine & Dine 2006
The Citizen, Auburn, New York
Your children may be well behaved at home
but, when you take them out to a restaurant, do
they act up? Nothing can spoil a meal faster than
an uncooperative child. An infant turning on
the waterworks or a toddler throwing a tantrum
is not only an inconvenience to you, the parent,
but is a disturbance to fellow diners as well. To
be courteous to all those sitting within earshot,
manage the situation before it gets out of hand.
All it takes is a little creativity on your part.
A child's attention span lasts only so long.
That's why outbursts in restaurants or during
social gatherings are common. They are your
child's way of saying, "I'm bored waiting for the
fun stuff to start," i.e. the food, the festivities,
etc. That's why you have to occupy your little
one's mind, so he or she will think the entire
experience -- from entering the restaurant to
the last spoon of dessert -- is entertaining. It
doesn't require a stand-up comedy routine, either,
just following a few of these clever ideas.
INFANTS AND TODDLERS
It's hard to predict a baby's mood, but you
can take steps to help keep things pleasant when
you need to venture out. Try to schedule your
dining experience after you've fed your youngster.
On the way to the restaurant, he might feel full
and doze off in the car, and then you can simply
enjoy your meal while he sleeps soundly in his car-
rier or stroller.
If this isn't possible, be sure to pack a bottle
so that you can quickly quiet a hungry baby. If you
use a pacifier, don't leave home without it.
Depending upon your infant's age, you might
want to invest in a few inexpensive toys that can
be reserved for on-the-go, like building blocks,
crayons and paper, or a picture book. This way,
you can occupy your child's young mind. If your
child does erupt in a fit of crankiness, get up from
the table and take him or her to another area of
the restaurant or outdoors until he or she quiets
down -- it's the polite thing to do.
Toddlers may benefit from taking in their
surroundings. Point out interesting items in the
restaurant, such as décor, people, and food items.
Pack light snacks like crackers or child biscuits
to keep hunger pangs at bay while your little one
waits for his or her kid-size meal. Be sure your
toddler doesn't harass other restaurant patrons.
When sitting in a booth, don't allow your child
to kick the seat or turn around, which could dis-
turb the person sitting behind you.
OLDER CHILDREN
As children get a little older, their natural
curiosity and sense of imagination can be a par-
ent's best tool. Create games that you can play when
it seems they are on the verge of boredom. Good
ideas include "I Spy," which goes through the
alphabet (I spy an apple, I spy a
ball, I spy a cup); "Name that Item,"
which works players name three
items in a particular category (name
three trees, name three favorite
foods); or "The Detective Game,"
where mom or dad acts as the police
chief and picks a "suspect" from the
patrons in the restaurant. Explain that
you can't reveal clues aloud in a
public place, so the kid detectives will
have to try to figure out who com-
mitted the crime by using a secret
code to describe the suspect. This
code can be a special language (like
tapping their heads to indicate the
person is wearing a hat) or any cre-
ative idea they come up with. Not
only will the kids stay silent, they'll
use their imaginations. Once they
figure out who the criminal is, offer
a prize like an extra helping of
dessert!
Encourage conversations to be
kept at a normal voice level. Children
shouldn't be allowed to scream or act up. Should
your kids become unruly, quickly grab a doggie bag
and head home. Your children will learn that if
they want to enjoy a meal out, they'll have to
behave.
Parents should also be reasonable and not
expect a tired or sick child to be on his or her best
behavior. Use common sense when planning on
dining out with your kids.
Dining With Kids: Make it Whine-Free
Take creative steps to keep kids occupied when dining
out, and they will be less likely to act up.
Sip, savor and shop at the region's ultimate
wine event taking place July 14-16, 2006 ­ The
Finger Lakes Wine Festival®, supported by The
Corning Museum of Glass.
Celebrate ten years of wine at The Glen, the
world-renowned road course (Watkins Glen
International) will once again replace oil slicks
with red wine stains as the track's inner grounds
are trans formed into the site of one of the East
Coast's premier wine festivals.
The original Festival was held in 1994 and
again in 1995 at the New York Chiropractic Col-
lege in Seneca Falls. Organized by winery owner
Doug and Suzie Knapp (Knapp Vineyards), the
Festival created an opportunity to raise the pro-
file of the region's wine industry. Watkins Glen
International bought the rights to the Festival
in 1996 as a tool to build tourism to the area.
The track's infrastructure offered wineries a venue
to show their collective achievements in grape grow-
ing and wine making. The Festival was not sched-
uled in 1996 to allow for proper planning and
promotion of the event at its new home. July 26
and 27, 1997, marked the beginning of a new
era for The Finger Lakes Wine Festival at Watkins
Glen International.
In an effort to support the local wine pro-
ducers, The Corning Museum of Glass, one of
the region's top attractions, became the event's
major sponsor in 2001. The Museum provides
live glassmaking demonstrations onsite to give fes-
tival-goers a taste of the activities offered at the
nearby attraction. The pieces that are made at the
Festival are raffled off to the crowd.
The 2006 Festival will officially kick-off at 6p.m.
Friday, July 14, with the 5th annual toga party,
"Yancey's Fancy Cheese Launch of The Lakes".
Saturday and Sunday mornings will begin with
the Great Western Chardonnay Champagne
Breakfast at the exclusive Glen Club, while Sat-
urday evening is topped off with the Tasters'
Banquet, where some of the ares finest wines can
be sampled with dinner.
Over 70 prestigious wineries from Upstate
New York will offer tastings and sales Saturday
and Sunday, from 10a.m. through 5p.m. Enjoy shop-
ping quality arts & crafts, gourmet foods, and
wine related items. Celebrity chefs from the
region, along with Chef Paul Mach, star of "You're
The Chef", will perform cooking demonstrations
pairing local food products with New York wines.
Knowledgeable vintners will speak at several
educational wine seminars throughout the week-
end, sponsored by the New York Wine and Grape
Foundation. Live music will keep your toes tap-
ping, and in the center of it all, watch master
glassblowers at The Hot
Glass Road Show, cour-
tesy of The Corning Muse-
um of Glass. New for 2006
is Finger Lakes Tri-fecta's
final bicycle race, hosted by
FingerLakesRacing.com,
Saturday night at 5:30p.m.
Watkins Glen Inter-
national will once again
offer the area's best bar-
gain ­ weekend Festival
camping. Campers that
stay Friday through Sunday
can enjoy 3 nights for only
$35 advance sale! FREE
entertainment is also

iseum Village with food
