Ruh Roh!
I don't want this blog to focus on the negative. That said, the less said about The Chocolatier in Hammondsport, NY, the better. Lovely setting - the place looks GREAT. Wonderful dog and cat on the premises. The person behind the counter spoiled the ambiance. The three of us will not go back because said person hit us with a barrage of un-sought-out-for information and opinions. Yikes. Maybe this person was having a bad day? Let's hope so...

Girls Gone Wild in the Finger Lakes!
Girlfriend Weekend Alert!
Three of us decided to hit the Finger Lakes during the first weekend in December. Time to get our collective act together and think about who's been naughty and nice this year and find some local gifts for our peeps. We wound our way up Route 96 to Interlaken and headed west towards Lodi. We hit the Seneca Wine Trail and stopped in at one of my favorite wineries: Lamoreaux Landing. We were out of sync with the wine trail festivities but that was ok. We had an agenda: Drink good wine. Explore gift options. Eat good food. Repeat.
Gabe at Damiani Winery won our hearts. We did a tasting and because they are so generous, I had to bow out at one point so that I could continue to be our designated driver. Gabe was informative, charming and introduced us to virtually all that this stellar winery has to offer, all served in their new location on Route 414 just north of the Distillery. At Damiani the focus is on red wines - and the maturity and nuance that the winemaker brings to the wine making process is exceptional. Here's the link: http://damianiwinecellars.com/ Stop in and experience the ambiance that is Damiani.
Stay tuned for more about our trip west in the Finger Lakes!
