Truly there were wineries everywhere....and fields of grapes. We couldn't help but notice the differences to our Napa visit a couple of years ago. We had been in California in November after the harvest season...and we were here before harvest. Fields were about the same. BUT these vines were green and full and grapes were at the ripening stage. Folks said they'd all be picked before Columbus Day. It gets cold fast around here. Though we love the 70 degree temps now, we are not interested in being here in the winter.... they have five foot flags on the fire hydrants....so the snowplows won't hit them. Oh, and price wise...cheaper in New York. We found $2.00 to be the going rate...at one place we paid $5. But then we could have sampled all 16 wines. Glasses and pours were very small. The "pourers" in the wineries could sure take a lesson or three from their California counterparts. They weren't very chatty and sure hadn't been coached to sell. We didn't buy any wines. But then we didn't taste any that wowed us either.
