2009 McGregor sereksiya
For a table wine, this was very good. Surprisingly peppery, nice nose and good tannins on finish. I would definately rebuy.

2010 Rooster hill estate pinot noir
So, I have this theory that finger lakes red wines taste good at the wineries and not so good when you get them home....This has been true with $10 wines and $30 wines, and I still think most of the time it is true.(although, i think there are some wineries ready to make a breakthrough) This was a bit of a surprise winery, as it was not on the map for finger lakes wines. We were driving by, so we stopped. a pleasant surprise.This wine was pretty good. Now for an $18 wine at the winery, which is on my opinion(which no one ever asks) a bit pricey. but while this wine was not over the top, it was very good, with a very pleasant nose, and some good mid-palette flavors and a nice finish. Probably a $15 wine at our local stores, and at that price, I would buy some more. (btw, my red wines are down to about 12 bottles, I'm going to have to buy some soon!! ) So, if you decide to buy this, enjoy!

2005 gran elias mora toro
Great great botte of wine! This is generally much more than I would normally spend on a bottle of wine, but well worth it .I've been sitting on this one for a few years, and time has been it's friend.Great nose, lots of dark fruit, and a good finish wih great tannins in the end. A little sediment at the bottom of this one, but probably due to the time in the bottle. Looking forward to this winter when I will open the next and last one.

2011 cameron hughes lot 305 torrontes
Argentinian light white wine. Kind of awkward on its own, so, I tried to match it with some different snacks. Crackers, and salsa and chips. They were both OK, and did improve the wine, which means it would have been much better with some real food. I have one more bottle, so will make sure I have with some food.

Bad Apples Bistro, spencerport ny
This was our first visit to this restaurant, and I was very much looking forward to this visit. I had looked at menu online, and had already made my choices. Too bad the online menu didn't match the current one at the Bistro. Anyhow, had the soup du jour and split an appetizer, both of which were very good. The entree did not disappoint either. My only complaint would be the portion of wine served in the glass.I thought it was a bit slight and could have used at least two more sips. I would definitely go back.
Barrington cellars Raptors red (nv)
This was an inexpensive table wine. It had a great blast of pepper initially, but then fell off a bit at the end. From the tasting at the winery, pretty much what I remembered. Prolly not a rebuy.
