This website is what happens when a semi-retired winery owner, winemaker, musician, writer and wine lover becomes obsessed with the Finger Lakes and its wines and wineries. Come along as I make my way through over 100 Finger Lakes wineries and hundreds of Finger Lakes wine tastings. We invite all of you Weekend Winos out there to tag along for News, Reviews, Songs and Discussion about the Finger Lakes. We hope you enjoy the ramblings and we welcome all comments.
