My day started with a pace car ride around the 2.5 mile road track at Watkins Glen. This was my first time around any NASCAR race track. I now have a little(very little) of what each driver in a NASCAR road race must endure to finish the race. Glad I took the ride before drinking and/or tasting any wine..
A surprise was meeting one of my favorite bloggers. Evan Dawson was promoting his book "Summer in a Glass." He is also a contributor of the New York Cork Report, which is one of my favorite blogs. His book is about the coming of age of wine making in the Finger Lakes.
The rest of the day was tasting great wines and stocking my depleted wine fridge.
When coming to the Fest, I was positive that I would be taking home many of the great white wines offered by the Finger Lakes wineries, but what I found were many red wines that may be among the best. When storing the wines after retuning home, I found that I had tasted and selected more red wines than white, especially the Cabernet Franc.
Now it is taste and review, I think I will enjoy this summer on the patio immensely.
