Soaring Eagle August

Another joint trip to Soaring Eagle in August also included a rest stop about 1/2 hr from Soaring Eagle at a Fruit Winery which has some of the more unique wines I have come acress. So far I've brought home a honey-traminette and a red wine of cabernet-cerry wines. Both have been very enjoyable and I am not particularly a sweet wine fan. Also on this trip played Pohlcat Golf Course. Definitely not for the weak hitters, but entirely enjoyable and picturesque. One thing to remember, however, is that the water is closer than you might imagine, so the shots aren't quite as diifuclt as your eyes see them ! Soaring Eagle Casino continues to have plenty of low stakes tables... but beware of the youngsters playing. Only 18 to gamble which produces plenty of interesting characters and bets.

Niagara Wine Tour

Wow, can't believe it's been since May that I posted. Just goes to show I am not used to blogging on a regular basis. Since May we have enjoyed a number of great adventures and begun planning for 2011. First we held our annual major New York Wine Tour which included Niagara Falls...the weather co-operated fanttastically and we received great reviews for the tour. On the way to Niagara Falls we stopped at 2 new Chattauqua wineries, both of which would be worth a stop if you are on the way up, but the normal highlite of Merritt Winery with Lunch provided the best of the day. The second day, while longer, was highlighted by Bully Hill winery at Keuka Lake along with several others, most noteably Hunt Country. At Bully Hill we had one of the most entertaining tastings and a fantastic gourmet Lunch. The lunch kind of through us off schedule since I didn't realize the gourmet idea and had planned on your basic hot dog/hamburger lunch. We recovered nicely and continued on. Have decided that the 2011 tour will be one of "favorites" at chattauqua and Keuke Trails...anyone who has travelled with us on these trails can submit a nominee. Seneca Niagara Casino continues to be a favorite for gaming and the Crowne Plaza has really improved itself since the days of the old Holiday Inn.
