Drinking it up at the Finger Lakes













There are 11 Finger Lakes in upstate New York, formed about 2 million years ago by the movement of glaciers. According to Native American lore, the lakes are the finger prints of the Great Spirit. The area is also the largest wine-making region in the eastern U.S. The white wines here are better than the reds. We didn't taste anything that blew us away, and I think my favorite wasn't even wine--we stopped by a cidery along the wine trail.

The highlight of the trip was seeing my very. first. mini-donk. It was very exciting. Doobie wasn't the cutest or mini-est donk, but he was very sweet and friendly. He chewed his grass and slowly moved closer and closer to us until we could pet him.
