Capoccia's Wine Lounge in Downtown Schenectady, New York

Eric purchased a Groupon
for Capoccia's Wine Lounge
in downtown Schenectady.















Capoccia's occupies the ground floor of the former Hotel Foster, which now houses high-end apartments.

I love the ornately carved stonework on the front of this building.

The front bar serves

walk-ins & outdoor

 seating, on warm

 days.

A Like on Facebook gets

the user a discount on a

drink.

Eric and I walk to the Wine Lounge in the back.

Tables with

 comfortable

leather chairs

 welcome visitors.

Deep leather couches
line an intimate
seating area.

The Bar also stocks

beers.

Beers & Ciders are

available by the 

glass.

Eric & I choose glasses of

Capoccia's 2014 Traminette

with our Charcuterie Board

consisting of Capicola Ham,

  Asiago Cheese & Crackers.

The light, sweet Traminette Wine compliments the mild, tender Capicola Ham and provides a delicious contrast with the full flavored Asiago Cheese.

Eric and I, like many locals, forget to explore our communities.  We think that the new and the exotic are just over the horizon.  I appreciate Eric's shopping at Groupon.com to explore local epicurean delights in our backyard.  Schenectady, and the Capital Region, continues to grow and change, providing new opportunities for exploration.
