Pan-American Elegance Amid Country Folk Roads, Notes..

The climax of my week was arriving to the Glenmere Mansion.

This place was the 'pies de resistance' so to speak with a bodacious wine list. So from this climax, what did I deduce from the week?

Italian elegance is real. Some wines portray such delicate balance such as Vin Nobile de Montepulciano, or a crip north Italian white (i.e. A simple Pinot Grigio).

Second, I learned about the power of mixology. Wild Turkey, great bourbon, so cheap, but with a little bitters you can tac on a nice price for sipping conversability.

Third, in my travels around this area, understanding past generations is crucial. A 'burning fire' exists in the mind of many baby boomers and their savory qualities lend towards well roundedness, old-world sustenance ( think cream cheese and tea), and a value in a 'sense of place.'

Ultimately, this article exposes the terroir and budding wine culture of NY State. Truly a virtue to reckon with.
