The first stop was the Watkins Glen International to drop off the wine and park the van for the weekend.  After unloading we headed out to go wine tasting.  Yes, that is what you do when you are in a wine region.  We drove on up to Herman Wiemer Vineyards to taste and have a picnic lunch.

A quick check in at our wonderful B&B The Manor, change of clothes and we were off the the Boatyard Grill in Ithaca for a Happy Bitch Wines Rosé tasting.  What a great place!  Right on the water, under the tent with a great band.  We wanted to make sure everyone got to sample Happy Bitch Rosé so Keryl took to the tables.

After a wonderful breakfast prepared by Bonnie and Richard at The Manor, we headed to the track our first day of the Finger Lakes Wine Festival.  Thank goodness we had a big breakfast to start our day with, because there was no time to eat again until after the festival was over.

What do you do after an exhausting day at the festival, order a pizza.  Unfortunately we couldn’t find any pizza place in Watkins Glen that delivered, so Keryl went into town to pick it up and came back with not only a pizza but a bottle of Bacardi. After a good nights sleep we did it all again the next day.

We would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth.  We hope you enjoyed the wine and will ask for it in your favorite wine shop.
