Greenport Weekend- Day 1

Inasmuch as I didn't set up a post-tax season vacation, I decided to get away for the weekend. I decided to go to the Greenporter Hotel in coincidentally Greenport NY. Greenport is on the eastern end of Long Island on the North Fork. It's about a 2hr drive from Brooklyn.

I left for Greenport about 2 pm Friday. On the way, I decided to stop at the Roanoke Vineyards on Sound Avenue to pick up a case of their De Rosa wine. It's a rose wine which I enjoy. They were nice enough to give me a taste of their merlot. I think I got a buzz from it. I stopped at 2 more wineries for no rational reason as my knowledge of wine is limited. At the Martha Clare winery I bought something called Cabernet Franc because they said it goes well with salmon. I eat a lot of salmon.

I arrived exhausted/buzzed at the Greenporter Hotel at 5pm. I moved up my dinner reservation to 6pm as I was famished. Between check-in and 6pm, I wandered into town for a bit but it was cold/nasty so I made my way back to the room. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was free with a Fri and Sat night stay. I had onion soup, salmon and some sort of strawberry dessert along w/a glass of white wine from Spain. The meal was superb.

I fell asleep at 8pm, woke up around midnight and went back to sleep again.
