Cobblestone Farm



Yes I have ugly feet...Earlier this summer we hit up Cobblestone for the Grape Stomping Festival. I was the only brave one to actually stomp - hmm wonder what it tasted like?

Bellwether Hard Cider





So this time around a cat rather than a dog. Cider was remarkably refreshing - not too sweet - nice amount of "bubble" could work very well for a summertime Friday Night Wine Club - I think it was the original that I liked best. Meghan liked her glass.

Americana - Ode to the Cornfritter




3wwc has been to Americana a few times now...So so on the wine - but can't beat the fudge (hooray for samples) and don't even get me started on ode to a cornfritter (yum!)...oh yes hip hip hooray for the Crystal Cafe and the 2 lovely chocolate labs that stare us down while we eat...I may need to start my own Wine Dogs book! Kudos on the young hottie tasting room guy and of course the location relative to Caper Queen's house.

Yeah for Community

Community caper weekend - first off to Syracuse for the Caper Queen's b-day request to go to Harvest Fest at the fairgrounds. So awesome! Then Cayuga Lake Nature Center Pancake Breakfast, quick walk on the trails and some float time in the 60+ degrees on Sunday.

Anyela's Winery Skaneateles Lake




What a GRAPER as Meghan would say...Not a bad drive into Skaneateles for lunch at Blue Water Grill with Chris' sister and friends ( so yummy, especially the baked brie and apples!) then some shopping at the quaint little stores...Colleen got her Krinkels obsession on, Meghan now wants to re-decorate the new house around some fancy dog beds...Hit Anyela's on the way back home. Spectacular tasting room with cathederal ceilings, stunning views of the lake, complimentary cupcakes and oh the wine...5 pours, I went Cayuga White, Pinot Noir, Cab Franc, Noiret, and Overlay - could not have been more pleased! By far one of the best Pinots in NY I say! Walked away with a bottle of the Noiret, the Cornell experimental grape -being green gotta love those hybrids! Adopt a gourde on the way out...only to have it fall overboard!
