My wife and I just returned from an overnight visit to Watkins Glen, NY, in the heart of the Finger Lakes. NY State has many beautiful regions, as I recently wrote about the Fall colors in the Adirondack Park of upstate NY. The Finger Lakes are located South and West of the Adirondacks, more towards the Western side of the state. We have made numerous visits to the Finger Lakes to sample and purchase these wines. NY Sate wines have become very popular and highly rated nationwide and worldwide. I will highlight a few wineries in this article, and comment on the experience as a whole.

My wife and I enjoy wine and I tend to drink more wine now that beer. However, I still enjoy a cold beer on a hot summer day. I do prefer wine with a meal, as it doesn't fill you up as much as beer and helps to digest the meal. Also, paring the right wine with your food even enhances the flavor of the food.

For those who prefer beer or distilled products, there are numerous breweries and distilleries in this region also.
