Sorry for the lack of posts over the past several days. We're in upstate New York visiting family for the Christmas holiday, having a good time as you can see above. Those are Jackson's first snowmen by the way.
A few notes from our trip thus far:
- I found a great beer shop just outside of Albany, and picked up several nice brews, including a well-done IPA from a local brewer that was new to me, Brown's Brewing Company in nearby Troy, NY
- We met our friends C and A at Provence for dinner Friday night for what was an up-and-down meal. Some dishes were delicious, others mediocre and the service was downright horrible. It was a reminder at just how important good service is to the dining experience. We did have a nice Oregon pinot from Siduri Winery, however.
- Yesterday, we took a trip to the Schenectady Greenmarket and picked some some delicious baked goods from Our Daily Bread in Chatham, NY and tasted from nice wines from Hudson-Chatham Winery in Ghent, NY. The 2007 cab franc and malbec are two wines to keep an eye on.
- In coming days I'll be posting reviews and tasting notes on several NY wines that we brought with us as well.
And, keep an eye out for my year-end post where I'll highlight a few of my favorite wines from 2008.
In the meantime, the whole LENNDEVOURS team hopes that you are having a great holiday season and are looking forward to 2009 as much as we are. Cheers!
Puchased the 07 Cab Franc and Malbec on Saturday at the Winery. We have the same tastes….Wish I could have tasted their Baco…
