Keuka In Bloom
The Finger Lakes Region is known for its abundance of fine wineries. While board members were housed indoors setting policy for the Club, others were out enjoying the beautiful countryside and embarking on a full day of wine tasting. The ladies and their designated driver, Bob, visited 8 of the 9 wineries scheduled for tastings along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail - forfeiting one winery for a stop at an antique shop along the route! MBCA Members were fortunate to be visiting during Keuka in Bloom - a special event welcoming the arrival of spring. Each ticket holder enjoyed food and wine pairings along with a complimentary flower and herb in a 4 inch pot at each winery. |
Back to front - Bobbie, Carol, Nancy and Nancy at Hunt Country Winery - our first scheduled stop along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Cheers!

Thank you Bob for being our designated driver and spending the day with 4 "glowing" ladies - if you know what I mean! The stop at this antique shop was a nice diversion.
