Happy Birthday 🎂 to me as I enter the last year of my 6th decade. Guess I’m no longer a young retiree, especially since I continue to work full time!!

On to the wineries..

Since I’ve seen much of the sites in Ithaca, and time was quickly closing in, decided to start my trek down Lake Cayuga in search 🔦 of wineries open on Monday. And luckily I found 3…

This was my first spot and each wine was more delicious than the next. They also had fine liqueurs. Sadly, as this was my first stop I did not purchase anything. I wanted to try the other wineries first. However, on my return trip, it was closed so for another time.

Lesson learned in traveling: If you see it, and like it, buy it!

Wines in this area run $18-$27 a bottle. Easily one could spend several hundred dollars on these fine wines. They are exquisite every one of them and make amazing Christmas 🎄 gifts 🎁.

On to the lake.., which was 40 minutes from 6 miles.

And look at the view these people have.

And of course a little food.

What a wonderful way to celebrate my 69th!
