I've been wanting to get back on the Cayuga Wine Trail for over a year now and definitely wanted to visit some wineries again and some that I have not yet been to. Other whites were also excellent along with a dry Rosé and another red, a Cab/Franc. But, today, well let me tell you about today. Our first stop was at Goose Watch Winery. MORE >>

don't aspire to drink geeky wine, and I'm not saying that geeky wine is by definition good wine - that would be absurd.

I'll be back to Fox Run for the annual Deck the Halls event and will definitely bring home some more. Sometime near the end of the year, I would like to post all that I have learned and the wines that I have come to enjoy over the past two years.
