Wine Wednesday: Tasting on the East Side of Seneca Lake

On a beautiful February day (read above freezing temps and clear blue skies,) we ventured to the east side of Seneca Lake (NY Finger Lakes) to do some tasting. Had some great wines (see photos of generous flights) and met friendly and knowledgeable people. Fabulous day trip. Click on the winery name for more information. Here are some highlights….
