The ambiance of most of the wineries has changed a lot in the last few years, some of them have absolutely stunning views. BITD, I was pretty much the only option other than driving yourself, and so was pretty well booked all the time. That's not the case anymore, which is a good thing. I learned to watch the people in the winery that were not in my group and make sure I left well before those I'd seen several places in a row. But as I said, that's been cleaned up quite a bit, not completely, since I sold the business.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-77335584855389102332016-01-05T07:21:08.129-08:002016-01-05T07:21:08.129-08:00Thanks.

A few years ago when we had business in Buffalo, NY, we made a weekend trip to Niagara On the Lake, Ontario, which happens to be some serious wine country. We stayed in a little <br />B&B which had a couple of bicycles for the tourists. We rode from winery to winery tasting and buying wine. We met other bikers and wine tasters and had a great time. The trick was to remember where we bought what wine in order to go back with the car to pick up the wine. Another trick was getting the wine back to OK.
