First, we went into downtown Watkins Glen in search of a coffee shop. No luck. Hey, entrepreneurs out there, there are some serious business opportunities in this town. Foremost, how about a nice little coffee shop with wifi? You would have business all day every day. My first stop out of town is definitely going to be a coffee shop for a nice latte.
Giving up on coffee and wifi, I enjoyed a wine tasting at the Pleasant Valley Winery's shop in town and bought a few bottles from the pleasant store manager. From there, we drove through the historic district of the nearby town of Montour Falls and took a picture of Aunt Sarah's Falls.
We then headed to Lakewood Vineyards. Our hostess Erin was very knowledgeable and made the visit fun. Thanks, Erin! I especially liked their Pinot Gris 2012, Candeo, and Borealis 2010 Iced Wine. Lakewood Vineyards is an award-winning winery and we left with a few more bottles of wine.
Being so close to the track, we decided to drive by and take a look. Couldn't see much, but there were a few cars on the track.
We took a boat ride on Lake Seneca to view the Watkins Glen fireworks. It was a nice salute to those who fought to secure our Nation's independence and all those good citizens who battle to preserve those liberties today.
Glad you get to enjoy all these new and different wines.
