Dubious Puns Also Part of the Deal

New York State's Finger Lakes is slowly but surely catching notice from wine travelers around the world for its top-notch Rieslings--one of the best wines for guzzling during the blazing summer months. And since the region is packed with wineries eager to convince you that NY wine can compete, its hard to go wrong with a tasting tour of the area.

The newest deal on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail is the "Riesling to Visit" passport program: a booklet that entitles you and your vinophile friends to special Riesling flights at 28 wineries around the lake. At $10, its definitely priced right, though we wouldn't recommend trying to hit all 28 in one day. Some of the top bottlings can be had at Chateau LaFayette Reneau and Anthony Road Wine Company, so start with those.

Serious wine lovers can get even more than a buzz from the passport: Boozers who hit 20 or more wineries can enter to win a return trip to the Finger Lakes--DD included.
