Wine Tasting: How much fun can you have?

The 'rents were up in the 'Cuse for the weekend with my little sister, who was back from an archaeological dig in Isthmea, Greece. We had dinner here at the apartment on Saturday night, and Mina made quite a lovely feast of Japanese food. Mina had never cooked for my sister, so I think she was a little nervous, but everything turned out great.

Sunday we woke up and went to Wegmans to stock up on provisions for lunch (olives, prosciutto, a nice loaf of bread, some New York cheddar, cherries, etc.) and headed down the road to Cayuga Lake and the wineries along the Cayuga Wine Trail (http://www.cayugawinetrail.com/). We stopped at 5 or 6 places and had a nice picnic.

After lunch it was back to Syracuse for a nice dinner at the Mission, an interesting Mexican restaurant downtown. It's a cool place built in an old church that has very decent Mole sauce (those are hard to find, as you may know).

Monday, everyone came over for breakfast and then I went off to teach. School was...so-so, but the class is more or less in the books. The kids take their final exam tomorrow night, I finish up the grading, and then it's a week off before I go back to reading 4-5 journal articles per day for the next 6 weeks.

So, that's a good weekend for you. Friday, we go watch some baseball.
