Seen Through A GlassAuthor: Lew Bryson
Seen Through A Glass is mostly about drinks and food in central Pennsylvania, hosted by long-time drinks writer Lew Bryson. There are shows about particular products -- maple syrup, soft-serve ice cream, whiskey -- or profiles of individual towns, like Lock Haven, Carlisle, or Altoona. We also talk about life in central Pennsylvania, and what you can find there: covered bridges, excursion railroads, state parks, anything interesting we can find between Williamsport, Clarion, Johnstown, and Harrisburg (and occasionally elsewhere, when I travel). We do interviews, visits and descriptions, and theres always What Im Drinking Today; might be whiskey, might be beer, might be coffee. Grab a slice and a glass and join us! Seen Through A Glass is partially sponsored by the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, the tourism board for Centre County. The show accepts NO money from the businesses and people I talk to. If that ever changes, Ill let you know. Language: en Genres: Arts, Food, Places & Travel, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

PA Wines: A Drink of Traminette -- Season 2, Episode 63
Episode 70
Thursday, 4 September, 2025
After three years, we finally have an episode on Pennsylvania wines. I discovered Traminette, a delicious white wine grape, and it was time to press on! Pennsylvania has over 400 wineries! So it's definitely time to talk about them. I responded to this by talking about one grape: Traminette. I talked to George Hazard, co-founder of Juniata Valley Winery, where they only grow Traminette. We talked about growing grapes, making wine, and the versatility of this hybrid grape. I also interviewed by friend Dave Dreese, who you've met before (Dave's an occasional companion on my research runs around the state). Dave's an expert on something I wanted to talk about: dirt roads. They're an overlooked wonder in the Keystone State, there are thousands of miles of them, and they will take you places you couldn't get to otherwise. Well, you know; without hiking, I guess. Fun segment! The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about the Punkin Chunkin Fall Festival in Howard on October 18th! Gourds fly across the lake! Trebuchets, air cannons, catapults! Food trucks, craft vendors, pumpkin pie eating contest! FREE PARKING AND ADMISSION! Next episode? Beats me. Got a couple ideas and some phone numbers. We'll figure something out. See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST! Seen Through A Glass is sponsored by the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau. Come visit Centre County!
