Finger lake wine touring

With Mr. and Mrs. Colossus.

Now, I'm not linking this because I like Finger Lake wine---let's face it, the wines of upstate New York are ambitiously strident yet aggressively redolent, in that "hey, this has got a real wang to it" sort of way. Okay, they generally taste like bat piss, with a little bit of ground leaf and stray astroturf thrown in.

But the real reason I put up the link are the gratutious cheescake shots of Taughannock Falls, one of my favorite places on planet Earth.

If you are ever at Taughannock Falls State Park, and are driving south back towards Ithaca, you have got to stop at The Glenwood Pines, a little roadside restaraunt on the lake-side of the road. Best damn burger ever.

Sure . . . now he tells us.

We ended up eating at a place called Dano's Heuriger

which looks like it was designed by James Lileks. Food was good. It should be covered in the next in the Finger Lakes series of posts. . .

Dude, I'm sorry. I'm one of those few who can enjoy Glenwood Pines and the Moosewood. And you did stock up on Purity Ice Cream, I hope?!

Heh. No, we missed that, too. Next time . . .

We did get plenty of Rieslings. Really, the Rieslings are very good.

The Purity Ice Cream is completely fab. And the Moosewood is a great vegetarian restaurant downtown, home of the Moosewood cookbooks.
