Upstate NY just above the PA border near Binghamton, NY. We made the news as the most snow with this storm. At midnight there was maybe 5-6" and at 6am over 30. It was a sight to see.

hopefully you don't get any wind because then you have a big problem.

No problem.... I have to admit, I was very surprised at how good some of the TX wines are. We live in MO, and most of the local wineries near us, do a nice sweet german style wine, but when you get to dry red, Norton is about the only one that is tolerable, and it's usually way over priced for what I can get in a nice CA wine.... I am by no means a wine expert, but I know what I like when I have it. Been to Russian River several times.

We went to San Antonio a couple years ago, and a day trip up to Fredricksburg, was very surprise in how good some of those Temperanillo's were.

Sorry to hijack, back to the storm.... :-)

No problem Joe. I plowed our driveway at midnight with about 5/6 of a bottle of a wonderful Barbaresco in my belly : ) See, wine and storms can be related.

I love reading about these boutique wines and just local wines from my region. However, after 30 years making my living buying and selling wines, I realize that I never made enough money to afford the overpriced examples I was selling "and tasting". I trust that very few of you can taste test a $65.00 boutique wine against an $8.00 wine, similar varietal, from your local wine store and tell which is the best. After 30 years of daily tasting, I have a hard time telling which is "best". However, I have the greatest respect for the new vintners who are marketing their wares. I will support the new vineyard that is breaking ground less than a mile from my home, as well as others who are almost as close.

Andy I feel your pain. I'm about 25 miles east of Binghamton near Pennsy border, 38" and deeper in many spots. Just came in and outside of the driveway it looks like I did nothing. Yesterday I was trying to decide if I should bow hunt or grouse hunt, after today neither is gonna happen for the rest of the season. Stay dry and don't push yourself.

Bottle(s) of choice were the Rioja Ardanza Reserva.

About 18" here in Central Massachusetts.

A few IPAs and some nice red were a must after moving all that snow !
