Springtime in New York

Taster A suggested we drive out to New York this weekend to pick up our wine shipments from his parent's house (he snapped this pic in their neighborhood) and check out some Hudson Valley wineries. I have to admit I wasn't all that excited about the trip: We've had a long winter in Massachusetts and I have developed a one track mind about getting some sun in my life. I figured upstate New York would just be more of the same gray blah. So it was a pleasant surprise to find that spring was a little further along in New York. We also got to taste some pretty distinctive wines but, more on that in the coming days...
