Finger Lakes Trip

Hello again. I have been a such a blogging slacker this month!

Marc and I just got back from a trip to the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. A group of our friends went last year and loved it so we decided to join in this time and we're happy we did. The region is known for its wine and beautiful scenery. I thought we would have some fall foliage to enjoy but everything was still very green.

On the long drive up, we stopped at the Saranac brewery in Utica, NY for a tour and some samples. I am normally more of a wine girl but their Pomegranate Wheat beer was perfect - not too sweet:




We stayed right on Seneca Lake:




We hit the wine trail... hard. Here is our impressive tasting agenda:
Day 1
Fox Hill

Day 2 (Whoa!)
Keuka Spring
Hunt Country
Yang Cellars
Prejean
Torrey Ridge
Miles Cellars
Rock Stream
Pompous Ass
Glenora

Day 3
Silver Springs
Hazlitt
Rasta Ranch
Bagleys
Wagner
Standing Stone





"Make a U-turn, if possible..." On our way to Miles Cellars, we almost had a Michael Scott moment:










Love this!




Unfortunately, most of our group shot attempts were totally botched... I guess thats what you get when the photographer and the subjects are more interested in tasting wine than taking photos! Haha. These, taken at Rasta Ranch, were the best of the bunch:




Here is sunrise on our last day...
