Great News, The Pasta and Wine Tasting fundraiser for 2024 was a success despite a nasty winter storm, and competition from the Lady Falcons State quarterfinal basketball game. (congratulations to the Lady Falcons on a great season and being Class D NYS runner-up champs)
Our 2024 Pasta and Wine Tasting event was a bit of a struggle to pull off, starting with negotiating NY State’s new online process to obtain our one-day liquor license. Turns out the application works but there is very little information on the process and, oh yeah, you must use the correct web browser, or it doesn’t work at all. (they never tell you that)
Then we learned that some restaurants could not participate due to circumstances beyond their control. We wish them well for the coming year and hope they can return next year.
In the end we had contributions from seven vendors. These included Klippel's Kozy Korner Cafe and Deli, Jay’s Village Café & Pizzeria, Shelby’s Four Corner Diner, The Local Dining and Spirits, The Timeless Tavern, Sport Island Pub, and The Placid Pines Pub. We also had a wide variety of red and white wines donated by the Northville Liquor Store and a splendid array of delicious desserts from Mernin’s Pie Shop and Karen Brown.
In all 70 -75 folks attended this year and had a great time. Also, this year we voted on the top three dishes, The voting was extremely close and most everyone said it was difficult to choose since all the dishes were soooooo gooood.
So, here are the tasting results:
In Third Place with 14 votes- Chicken, Broccoli, Ziti in White Sauce from Shelby’s Four Corners Dinner.
Just slightly ahead in Second Place, with 15 votes-Shrimp & Chicken Tortelli in Rosa Sauce from The Placid Pines Pub.
And in First Place, (drum roll please) serving Tuscan & Kale Rigatoni is The Timeless Tavern.

This fundraiser provides the bulk of the support for our Transportation program. Many local restaurants partner with the Task Force and donate one of their favorite dishes to sample at this annual event.
We encourage everyone to patronize these restaurants and thank them for their support of the Task Force and this event.
