Sunday, Pam and I travelled across the peneplanes, past three Finger Lakes, to reach the Dr. Konstantin Frank winery where we subscribe to the “Wine Club,” a quarterly release of three 750 ml wines along with a newsletter with information and recipes. For 2018/2019 we elected to “pickup” our selections, looking forward to these drives through the country and villages between Ithaca and the winery perched on the west side of Keuka Lake, just below the “branch.”
Preeviously, I posted “Glacier!!” and today there is this photograph of glacial topography 10,000+ years after the melt. Keuka Lake is shaped like a “Y” chromosome, here we are looking northeast across the “foot” of the “Y” from the west lakeside. Above the evergreens, to the left, is the headland separating the “arms” of the “Y”.
Spread out below our viewpoint are row upon row of grapevines, enjoying the microclimate surrounding the deep lake.

Ithaca huh? I just started watching The Odyssey. Glad you have something special to drink. Have a great day. Ryan

Interesting take, Tom, the metaphor breaks down when the other lakes are considered….there are only “ones” or “ells” without a single “X”. The Finger Lakes are long and narrow.

We see five Finger Lakes and many vistas on the drive from Ithaca to Hammondsport, passing through Watkins Glen on the way.
