Have you ever had one of those days where everything went really, really well?? Well, we had one of those days today. We had some spectacular weather, so it was a perfect day to visit some wineries. The above grapes are from the Swedish Hill Winery on Cayuga Lake.
Here's a beautiful view of Cayuga Lake... summer is gorgeous here in Central New York.
We loved several wines at Swedish Hill, including this one... "Jack Ass Red".
It was named after their pet Donkey... Doobie. He was a very sweet, um, Jack Ass. And he posed for many photos.
Here are 2 more Jack Asses posing for a picture... heh heh...
My favorite winery of the day was on Seneca Lake. It was called
3 Brothers Winery. There are 3 wineries and a brewery all on their property. It was a destination all in itself. The wineries are all very different. One is a bit fancy (Stony Lonesome), one is fun and frilly (Passion Feet) and the other is set in a Bayou and is for people who are more comfortable in a dive bar (Rogue's Hallow).
(The above photo is walking down the dirt path to this winery.)
This is the outside of the "Rogue's Hallow" winery. There's a band, food and lots of great wine to drink...
There was also a neat Brewery there. We didn't try any beer today, but would love to go back sometime and get the "Passport" to try everything. This was the last winery that we stopped at today, and we were a little wiped out by the time we got there!
On our way from the Wineries to the Waterloo Outlets, we drove by a European Car Dealership and Eric spotted this Mini Cooper. He's been doing some research on Mini Coopers and really wanted to test drive one. So we did!
It wasn't as small as I thought it would be inside. And it's pretty cool... the speedometer is in the middle of the console.
I'd say Eric rather enjoyed himself!
He and the car salesman gave the car a once-over. I think Eric was quite taken with the car, but for now, it's still there...
We dubbed this day our "lucky day". Somewhere along our travels today, we found a perfectly good $100 bill just laying on the ground... completely unattended. I looked for the candid camera people, but nobody jumped out of the bushes. And there was no one around. So what is a person to do?? Well, we scooped up our good fortune, and our day at the wineries and outlets were paid for! This picture was taken at the Bass Outlet... before Eric bought some new pants and I bought a couple of shirts. For "free"!
