I've done a tour of the Finger Lakes wineries almost every year for the past 10 years.
When I started, I was a beer drinker... and I only had a taste for white wines.
Chablis, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
As I learned more and my palate developed over time, I began enjoying sweet reds.
Now, I drink primarily drier Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

I would definitely find yourself a designated driver and do a Finger Lakes wine tour.
In our earlier days, 20 of us would get some minivans on a Saturday morning in May...
the challenge was on to see how many wineries we could do. Our record was 15, mostly around Seneca and Cayuga.
Our favorite was always Hazlitt, but I have to shout out for Earle Estates Meadery also.
These days... we take it a little slower and enjoy it a little more.
