I had finally depleted my supply of California wine, so to stock up we decided to give the New York Wineries a try in the Finger Lakes area.
It was a beautiful day.
At the first winery, Heron Hills, we decided to have lunch at the Blue Heron Cafe, before tasting.
Lunch was good, the view was amazing.
View from the tasting room. I sampled, Bob bought.
Heron Hill Winery for over 35 years has set the highest quality standard for wine quality, customer satisfaction, and tasting room experience.
Our next stop was Vinifera Wine Cellars, owned by Dr. Frank Konstantin.
Dr. Konstantin, a professor of plant science who held a PhD. in viticulture, moved to the area to teach at Cornell University's Geneva Experiment Station.
The winery quickly earned a reputation for spectacular Rieslings and its original planting of vines formed the backbone of New York's world-class wines and champagnes.
The old farmhouse. It was made of stone.
Last stop Hunt Country Vineyards.
More modern than the other two. They achieved a wide reputation as a pioneer producer of Vidal Blanc Ice Wine.
Enjoyed the day. Since I was the only taster, as Bob was the designated driver. I was forced to try many delicious tastings. Needless to say, a well deserved nap was in order when we got home.
