October 22, 2014 West side of Cayuga Lake & East side of Seneca Lake

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Waffles were on the menu for this morning.  After cleanup we decided that we were going to venture out.

We decided to go up the west side of Cayuga Lake and return home via the east side of Seneca Lake. We are going to see what the other wineries have to offer.  Our first stop was Sheldrake Point Winery.  The staff was very knowledgable and seeing that  this was Jennifer's first time at a wine tasting our waiter was even more patient and helped make her understand the type of wines.  Next stop Toro Run Winery, beautiful scenery of the lake below and the wines were very good.  We continued on to Knapp Winery & Restaurant.  Besides wine tasting we also had lunch.  The soups here were phenomenal.  Pat thought that the mushroom merlot soup was the best.  Last stop at the top of the lake was Montezuma Winery.  We all agreed that this was going to be the last stop and we were heading home.

In our travels we came across a couple of bulls (don't know what kind), geese resting on the lake, some neat sculptures and wood carvings, unique houses and beautiful scenery.

When we got home we decided that we were going to hookup our vehicles and start packing up to leave at 5am for Londonderry, NH seeing that we had a 7 hour drive ahead of us and other family members to see.  We also were meeting family at dinner tomorrow night.  Big day.
