Totally ok with this mid 50 and even higher weather pattern we've been experiencing. Not good for the vineyard if buds start popping out sooner than we want, but definitely great to see that warm weather has hit central New York and gets people out and about some more. It was great even last night. After the winery closed up I sat on the terrace with a couple friends, RJ our general manager, and Melinda our assistant tasting room manager, and enjoyed taking in the view of the lake, vineyard, and sipped on some of the Tocai Friulano. We're the only Finger Lakes producer that makes a wine out of that Italian variety and one of 2 New York producers even. It's really a great wine. Reminds me of Riesling flavors with a nice crisp acid balance. Drink up those unique wines. Ventosa even grows and produces a Sangiovese. Unique right? Not a lot of New York producers grow or make that variety either. Definitely need to snag myself a bottle of that for sure. Haven't tried it yet but can't be bad.
Tonight at the vineyard we've got a couple musicians coming to preform live music from 5-8. No cover for this. Should be a lot of fun and apparently Sarah and Joe Mull (the musicians) have quite the following. Sounds like it's going to be a great crowd. Maybe I'll see one of you here for it! You can grab a glass or bottle of wine, or some food from Cafe Toscana. Come on...you know you want to!
I'll definitely let you know how that event plays out if I don't end up seeing you. If anything it should be a great weekend here in the Finger Lakes with the warm weather, awesome wine all around, and great friends to spend some time with. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Cheers to Tocai and warm weather!
