Sorry I ignored the beer question. It so happens that a couple of the wineries (there's one on the northern tip of Seneca Lake where you simply walk 5 feet from the wine tasting to the beer tasting room! there are also a couple cideries where the distilled liquor and cider tasting areas are...

That's 3 wine trails NOT a 3-wine trail!🥴

I've seen his fine work for ~14 years now. I had him in a couple of my swaps on another site and thought I had him figured out! You see I ALWAYS knew that his pictures were photo-shopped. My only problem now is to find out he photo-shopped his swap flies!! One thing I can say though is that...
