There are three main reasons why I am a chauffeur.
1-you meet cool people
2-you go interesting places
3-You do fun things
This past week I was able to do all three on a trip to the Chautauqua Institution. An exciting new company called Feed Your Soul Buffalo asked Buffalo Limousine to help transport VIP clients to Chautauqua for the day.
Feed Your Soul specializes in creating culinary adventures for people in the Buffalo Niagara region. The company is dedicated to bringing out the creative flavor of our area. Christa Glennie Seychew is the heart, and well...soul or Feed Your Soul. Christa brings two main ingredients to the table, a background in Food Writing and creativity. She organized the Chautauqua trip around a lecure that was given by two world renowned chefs at the institution.
Among the guests for the trip were chefs and foodies. Foodies are people who are gourmets, aspiring cooks and people who appreciate a good meal and a good time. Some of the food professionals in the group were:
-Chef Paul and Eric from Tempo on Delaware Avenue.
-JJ from Torches Restaurant on Kenmore Ave.
-The Goetz family from Sample on Allen St.
Getting there was half the fun as we enjoyed wonderful bagels, coffee and pastries on the way down. On the way back we stopped to fill up on fudge at Webbs...and a few of the passengers complimented the sweets with some wine.
This was my first time visiting Chautauqua, and I'll return soon. The campus is beautiful in every detail. Lunch was wonderful at the awe inspiring Athenaeum Hotel. Bestor Plaza was gorgeous an invited many people to have a seat and enjoy the fountain. I had an opportunity to browse through the library and take pictures from the giant windows on the second floor.
I look forward to the next excursion with Feed Your Soul Buffalo. Contact Christa via e-mail (cseycheww at yahoo.com) or by calling (716) 812.1615. Feed Your Soul's web site is linked here.

Kodak-Ingram Micro Corporate Event
Kodak and Ingram Micro know how to make a corporate event picture perfect. First, choose a really cool, extremely creative location. Add a limo bus and mix with fine wine. The result was a heavenly evening at the Stratus Winery.
Kodak sponsored the evening to say thank you to Ingram Micro for promoting Kodak scanners. Kodak scanners are geared towards business and corporate markets. The scanners use the same lens technology that has made Kodak a world leader in imaging. Ingram Micro employees learned about the Kodak scanners and made excellent efforts to promote them. Their efforts were rewarded with the dinner and wine tasting at the Stratus Winery.
Stratus is uniquely beautiful among the many excellent wineries that populate the Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) region. Stratus is designed to produce fine wines in the 'greenest' manner possible. No expense has been spared in creating the most energy efficient winery imaginable. The winery's temperature is controlled by geo-thermal vents that extend from the building more than 200 feet into the earth. Architectural design maximizes sunlight and is LEED certified. Grapes are hand picked and no pesticides are used. Every process of wine making has been analyzed and optimized for energy efficiency and sustainability.
Stratus' Ben Nicks was our host for the evening. It was fascinating to learn of the innovative strategies the winery employs to reduce its carbon footprint. The winery uses no pumps in its process thanks to a production design that uses gravity to do most of that work. Ben's knowledge stretched from the French Oak used to make the aging barrels ($1,200 each!) to the subtle joys of the palate when wines are paired with the proper foods.
Words would be inadequate to describe the wine tastings and the dinner. You must experience for yourself by visiting Stratus. A big thank you to Kodak and Ingram Micro for choosing Buffalo Limousine and our limo bus to provide transport for the evening. The group left enriched with the best in food and drink, and I learned how Stratus puts 'green' into every bottle of white and red.
