Seneca Lake winery brings retail shop and tasting room to Destiny USA’s first level
Syracuse, NY- Bellangelo, a premium Seneca Lake winery, is scheduled to open a retail shop
and tasting room at Destiny USA late this September. Called ‘Branch,’ the store will occupy
the space across from the Cheesecake Factory.
Owned and operated by the Missick Family, Bellangelo is an up-and-coming name in the
Finger Lakes wine industry. Formerly known as Squaw Point Winery, the location has been
producing wine commercially since 1986. The Missick family bought the property in 2011,
moving to New York from California with the intention of creating their own quintessential
Finger Lakes wines characterized by a sense of the place in which they were produced.
“Branch will be a welcome addition to our Expansion-side shops and restaurants,” said
Destiny USA’s General Manager, Rob Schoeneck. “It will be a great showcase for the local
farm-made products that Central New York and the Finger Lakes Region have to offer. Our
hope is that tourists and guests who stop by can get a feel for our area and culture.”
Branch by Bellangelo will be a New York State craft beverage parlor and farm-to-table
mercantile. In addition to wine tastings, by-the-glass sales, and bottled wines from various
New York-based producers, they will sell a variety of locally-made products from farms in
the area.
With regard to the unique opportunity that awaits the winery and visitors alike, Bellangelo’s
owner Chris Missick stated, “The opening of Branch, and the collaboration between
Bellangelo and Destiny USA will mark a wonderful new development for the growth of the
Finger Lakes region, as we bring the ethos of small farm and craft beverage producers to the
residents and visitors of Syracuse’s premiere retail outlet.”
