Adam, I was thinking about setting up a Seneca Lake wine tour. Last year we hit 14 or 16 wineries in one day! I’ll keep you posted. Oh and the winery that does Red Cat also sells jello shots with red cat. yummy!!
I also wasn’t much of a fan of red until people started making me drink it. Red Cat is one of my favorite local wines. Prejean has a nice red too. I tend to like the less dry more fruity reds.
As far as not local, Las Rocas makes a really good red, can’t remember if it’s a cabernet or something else.
