These are a few of my favorite things...

What better day than New Year's to review the past year and remember the fine wines and wonderful places we have been in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate NY. Last New Year's Eve we spent with Dave and Kathy at the Brown Hound Bistro in South Bristol. The Brown Hound is quaint and intimate, with food that is out of this world! With their focus on local food and Finger Lakes wines, it was an excellent choice to ring out the old and celebrate the New Year. Throughout 2013, we enjoyed many dinners out and at our home. Of course all involved Finger Lakes wines (I wholly support NY Wine Spotting and ask for a Finger Lakes wine whenever we dine out).
So, a list of some of the favorite wines we have enjoyed with friends and family in 2013:

2012  Ravines Dry Riesling
