October 9th - Sunny 60 degrees
After a breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage we left for the Seneca Lake Winery Tour. Our first stop was at Finger Lakes Distilling. Lou and I had read about them about a year ago and had planned on visiting them and our visit was most rewarding. We had hoped to be able to take in a tour; however, they only do them by appointment and only on Saturdays, so we will have to wait until a later time. The cost of the tour is $18.00 per person and it usually lasts for 1 ½ hours.
It was a perfect morning for sight seeing, as the fall foliage was beautiful, it was a bit windy and the water was a bit choppy. We went on up the trail and stopped at a farm market and picked up some winter squash and some fresh cheese and ended up at Wagner’s Winery at lunch time. We ate at Genny Lee Café. Lou and I both ordered French Onion Soup and split a wonderful steak burger. Our view of Seneca Lake was very picturesque and enjoyable as we ate our delicious lunch.
After our lunch we went into the tasting room, which now includes wine and beer. We were able to do some Christmas shopping which always pleases us when we can share our travels with friends and family.
We continued to drive the rest of the length of Seneca Lake and then down the other side, then we drove past Waneta Lake and Lamoka Lake. The sunshine and the fall foliage were just beautiful on the country roads that we traveled. We arrived back home about 5:00 pm. Thankfully, I had prepared our dinner this morning, so I just popped it in the oven and in an hour we sat down to a new recipe of Italian Style Chicken and Peppers, tossed salad, garlic bread and some of our new wine.
Tomorrow morning Lou has an appointment with the audiologist at 8:00 am, so we will be off early.
