Red Tail Ridge Winery – Penn Yan, NY

We were supposed to be in Scotland this week. But, 2024 is apparently the year we weren’t meant to leave the US. Our two previous trips to Canada were scuttled by different events, and Scotland was scuttled by a family emergency over here for the person we were supposed to be visiting.

So, we decided to visit that friend near her hometown, and managed to work in a little fun while we were there. The wine here was excellent – we managed to restrain ourselves to walking away with only three bottles, which included a sparkling red, an aged Riesling, and the best port I’ve ever tasted.

At least we managed to get out of New England.
