Iconic Laf-A-Lot reopens on Loon Lake after massive rebuild in Wayland

Everyone is smiling again at the Laf-A-Lot. An iconic Steuben County lakeside bar and restaurant reopened recently after a complete rebuild by its new owners. The Laf -A-Lot on Loon Lake is "pouring beers once again," Chuck Cavallaro posted Nov. 2 on the "What's going on around Wayland" Facebook page. The bar's signature cocktail, the Blue Whale, is presumably being mixed and poured again, too. The Laf-A-Lot had been closed since December 2025. Former owners Ed and Paula Kauffman sold the 100 Laf A Lot Road business to Chuck Cavallaro and his wife, Joanne Cavallaro, in March 2026. The couple, along with family members and even many of Cavallaros' neighbors on Loon Lake, immediately got to work restoring the existing bar and restaurant. “The next day (after the sale closed) I was at the bar with a crowbar and a hammer, and we started taking stuff apart," Chuck Cavallaro, a semi-retired medical doctor, told The Evening Tribune last spring. The old bar and restaurant was essentially stripped down to its studs and rebuilt, with the old floor and roof replaced, a new bar installed and a larger kitchen with updated equipment constructed. The Cavallaros documented nearly every step in the

Osmote Wine is expanding with new Finger Lakes tasting building

Known for its wine and wonderful views of Seneca Lake, Osmote Wine is working hard to make sure both are available to more Finger Lakes visitors throughout the year. The popular winery with a tasting pavilion off state Route 79 in Burdett is now constructing an indoor building for retail wine tasting that will allow Osmote to be open all season. Benjamin Riccardi is the founder, winemaker and business manager of Osmote Wine. Riccardi said the outdoor tasting pavilion first opened during COVID-19 and has grown greatly, to the point where Osmote Wine needed to build a more traditional indoor wine tasting site to meet demand. "The new building is going to be for retail wine tasting," Riccardi said. "My wife and I live on the property where we farm grapes and raise pigs. We've been making wine for over 12 years; we opened the pavilion in 2020. It's been a really good experience, so we wanted to compliment that with this new building so we will be open the entire season." Riccardi said the new building will be completed and open in the spring of 2027. Burdett Village Mayor Linda Arcangeli is among those who can't wait to sip
