Bremmer's Wine & Liquor World, Utica, NY

[Innkeeper]

Just back from a very brief trip to Utica. We left at 7:30 am Monday, and got back at 4:05 pm today (Tuesday).

Bev had a 2 pm appointment with her doctor. Afterward we took the two miles trip to Bremmer's. The majority of the Finger Lakes wines they now carry are the hybrids, fruit, very sweet, or house reds and whites from the FL producers. Some of our purchases were the last ones on the shelf. We picked up eight bottles totaling $124 including $10 for the gubitor. These included:

Two 2007 Herman Wiemer Semi-dry Riesling.
Two 2007 Glenora Riesling.
One 2007 Anthony Road Semi-dry Riesling.
One 2007 Heron Hill Semi-dry Riesling.
One 2006 Knapp Vignoles
One 2005 Prejean Marechal Foch

We were waited on by a young guy, so we haven't met Bud yet. It seems to us that Bremmer's is heading to something less than high end; at least in regard to FL wines.

Next we went to N.J Flihan's restaurant supply platz and pick up some goodies. Then we had a fabulous dinner at Grimaldi's. On the way home today we stopped again at the Oz Head Tavern in Sturbidge for another wonderful repast.
