As we entered the heart of the Finger Lakes for several days we
stopped at KNAPP VINEYARD(http://www.knappwine.com/Vineyard-Restaurant-
located in Romulus, NY just off Seneca Lake) Restaurant for a quick
lunch and wine tasting; it was a great choice as they have a $12 lunch
special daily which includes salad and a choice of main courses. I
started with the 1/2 CRAB CAKE SALAD and this was indeed ONE appetizer
size cake on a salad with a spicy CHIPOTLE DRESSING. I had asked for
the pepper mill, and oddly they did not have one, perhaps as the
dressing is so spicy! My main course was a juicy divine WATER BUFFALO
BERGER on Telira Roll (think Ciabatta) with melted Gruyere Cheese,
Onion, Leaf Lettuce and a tasty Moroccan Red Pepper Aioli.
Samuel loved his Pasta Rags (pieces of lasagna pasta) with Asiago
Cheese & Butter Sauce, while Will chose the Chicken & Bacon Sandwich.
We were able to enjoy the meal even more by sitting outside next to
the vines and also because of the flight tasting options. Will had a
glass of KNAPP Chardonnay which was tasty and refreshing and I chose
the BETWEEN THE LAKES RED Flight which offers 3 tastes:
Knapp Sangiovese--very light, but with flavor
Glenora Syrah-their sister vineyard on Seneca Lake
and the divine ZUGIBE 4 Fred's Red---we headed to this vineyard
afterwards and bought some for sure!
