Keuka Lake (Finger Lakes NY)

 This past weekend it was time for our annual pilgrimage to the Finger Lakes region of New York State. The ride out around the Ashokan Reservoir on the back roads was as always pleasant and scenic. We didn't see any bald eagles or turkeys but there were plenty of deer hanging around the shoulders of the roadway. Once on Rte 17 the ride was much more monotonous but better in the Saturn than the M3 (sold last fall). The expansion joints are still there in spite of the construction to remove them.

Anyway, we arrived at the Keuka Overlook B&B http://www.keukaoverlook.com/ and we were warmly greeted by Bob. He was in the middle of a tasting for some folks that stopped by to sample yet he took time to graciously extend himself to greet us. Terry was out of town for a bit but thankfully that did not last long. She showed up Saturday afternoon after we returned from sampling the regional wines.

The area was quite busy this weekend with many limos and buses full of people stopping in at the wineries to sample the efforts of the local vintners.

The Riesling and Chardonnay that Bob has put together are quite good and compare with higher priced wines from California and Europe (FTF).
