The Finger Lakes area of New York is well-known for its wine and scenery. So, we decided to make an early Valentine's Day celebration and hit some wineries before dinner in Ithaca. Unfortunately, we only got two two wineries before car troubles caused an early end to the day. We did get to Hazlitt Winery on Seneca Lake and then Knapp Winery on Cayuga Lake. At both wineries we ran into a lot of folks celebrating Mardis Gras a bit early. In fact, the Cayuga Wine Trail was having a Mardi Gras weekend so it was fortunate for us that the car troubles brought us to an early end. Trying to battle the masses of Mardi Gras celebrants at the wineries could be frustrating. Because it is winter up here - the local falls (and there are a lot of them) tend to be a little icy. Here is Hector Falls, just north of Watkins Glen.
Now, I owe Mary dinner at Thai Cuisine in Ithaca for Valentine's Day - they have some great Thai specialties and are well know throughout this part of Upstate New York.
