House of Bacchus is Rochesters premier wine and spirit
store with a reputation for exceptional customer service, selection and innovative new
services and promotions. Our participation in
the wonderful Irondequoit Lighthouse Trail community art project led to a most fitting
discovery. House of Bacchus is located on
former farmland and in an area that once had many vineyards and wineries as well.
Artist Mary Lou Lunt was inspired by this information and the
subtle connection to our business, which resulted in her outstanding design for Reflections:
Images of Irondequoits Past. Known
for her portrait paintings, Mary Lou utilizes this style to create the breathtakingly
beautiful charcoal drawings on this lighthouse that depict vintage photos of Irondequoit.
The land of Irondequoit, upon which you now stand,
was
fertile ground for prosperous vineyards and farms
in
the late 1800s and mid 1900s
