To the Finger Lakes! This week we're headed to the Finger Lakes to visit 40 or more wineries and taste 250 or so wines.  While we are away, we'll update our Vintage Connections Wine Blog as often as we can, hopefully every day after finishing the day's "work."  We'll include information about the Finger Lakes wines, wineries, and wine region in those posts. We're posting just this one entry in The Grapevine this week while we are on the road, so if you want to read about our daily experiences and wine recommendations, check out our Vintage Connections Wine blog throughout this week. When we return, we'll use 6 of our favorite Finger Lakes wines in our Wineries of the Finger Lakes class on Thursday, October 28.  You can still register by calling MCCC at 610.718.1846.

Fun Fact The Finger Lakes, located in upstate New York, actually consist of 11 long narrow lakes that run north to south.  Only three of the lakes actually boast multiple wineries.  These three lakes are Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga, though Canandaigua, Conesus and Hemlock lakes also have wineries.  Congratulations to Bob and Jacki Folwell, winners of the first quiz.  They choose a free ticket to Mom's House "Wine Tasting Celebration" on October 23. There will be another quiz someday!
