Where Can A Guy Get A Beer Around Here?

Today, we drove to the west side of Seneca Lake and toured some wineries. Joan loves this stuff. Honestly, it all tastes about the same to me... obviously, I don’t have a delicate palette... but, I can sure tell the difference between Diet Pepsi, Diet Coke, and Diet Dr. Pepper!



At the Fox Run Winery, we had lunch with Dave and Jan. Dave sat out the tour. We walked by the vineyards, saw the different kinds of grapes, walked up to their processing area , the storage area, and the bottling. The guy giving the tour was very knowledgeable; he then took us back to their tasting room.






We tried 6 different wines. As I said above, they all tasted about the same to me. But, I swirled and looked, sniffed and sipped. And swallowed.

We then drove down to another winery further south (there are dozens of wineries in this area) that has a dock... you can come here by boat, bring a picnic lunch... and get sloshed on wine. That sounds like safe boating at its finest. ;-)

Dave and Jan joined us in the cockpit of Wild Blue this evening. Yep, it's raining, but we have our full camperback on, so it was plenty dry. They brought some bread pudding that they got at one of the wineries, Joan added some other "adult merinade" and whipped cream. Nice evening - good conversation, fun stories, lotsa laughs.
