An Ominous Sky Over Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes Wine Region
If you are interested in reading about our journey from the start, check out part 1 of our tasting trip in the Finger Lakes.
After dealing with the obligatory covid tests for getting into Canada, we finally had a full day to wine taste and see a few sites. Unfortunately, the ground was still saturated, and the sky looked threatenting so hiking was a “no go” even though it has stopped raining for a while.
Steak with the Best Chimichurri
Covid Sucks! I think that is something on which we can all agree. It took a collective crap on the Holiday season, changing everyone’s plans to some degree or another but that doesn’t mean that you have to let it ruin everything. Assuming you are stuck at home with just one other wine drinker, we’ve offered up some wine and food pairings for a whole meal that will work for just a single bottle of wine.
The Stunning Piazza Navona At Night
Rome…if it’s not on your bucket list, it should be. Of course, we were hitting it at the end of our trip which meant we had been travelling for the better part of three weeks out of just a couple of carry-ons, and walking 15 to 20 thousand steps per day on uneven cobblestone streets. Couple that with drinking aperitifs before dinner, Italian wine with almost every meal and of course enjoying the hell out of most meals, so we were getting pretty tired.
The Folks from Karine Winery
We’ve had our place near Bass Lake for about 14 years and we thought we had tasted at most of the wineries in the mountains. Several weeks ago, we ran across a group in our favorite little Mexican Restaurant in North Fork that had a wine we hadn’t tasted, from a local winery that we had forgotten about called Karine.
Maccay Cellars Old Winery
McCay Cellars was recommended by the Lodi Wine Association and we really had no idea what to expect when we pulled up. The winery is located in a small industrial area which might put a few people off who are looking for the palatial estate with huge grounds, picnic facilities etc…
