the vote tally

Even though we are ten months out folks, I hate to tell you but it is time to fish or cut bait. The reason is that Glenora gets many reservations up to a year in advance, and it is going to be a college weekend. Let’s try to fill the place up with Wine Boarders. It is great that we have so many “count me ins”, now we have to change that to “I’m (we’re) booked” such as WD posted today. Bev and I are too.

For those who can stay through Sunday (the 16th) night, there are some great advantages. You can spend two full days in wine country (it is easy to spend a week); secondly, there is a good chance that there will be a cookout/picnic at Foodie’s with moi as resident chef; and third, you get to spend another night and drink more wine with most of the gang.

If you get sticker shock when you first look at Glenora’s rates on the website, keep in mind that they are packages including breakfast and dinner each day. Our rates will be just for room. If Glenora fills up or if you would just like stay someplace else, recommend the Vinehurst Inn in Hammondsport (607-569-2300). It is comfortable, clean, and economical. We stayed there last year with our grandkids. You can still have dinner with us at Glenora, and you will have to see about your breakfast. I’m sure that both Foodie and Gene can recommend other places as necessary.

For those of you traveling by car south and east going home or coming from those points, highly recommend a stop at the Corning Glass Museum which is around 20 miles southeast of Hammondsport. I didn’t think either I or the grandkids would like it much, so we stopped for mother’s sake. We all loved it. Very, very interesting.
