PLATTSBURGH Ñ Wine lovers rejoice and safely take to the roads. The Adirondack Coast Summer Wine Tour will be taking place at wineries and cideries across Clinton County Aug. 9 and 10. Now in its fifth year, the wine tour highlights the burgeoning wine industry in our region with stops from Peru to Mooers and many places in between. Participants purchase one ticket at a participating winery and then are able to have several tastings at each of the participating wineries. Participants also receive a commemorative wine glass as part of the price of admission. Ò ItÕ s a two day event, but some people try to do it all in one day,Ó said Richard Lamoy, owner of Hid-In-Pines vineyard in Morrisonville. Ò You can usually tell them because theyÕ re very happy by the end.Ó Lamoy strongly recommends a designated driver, whether you are doing the one day or two day option. To encourage designated drivers we are offering a free raffle. The winning designated driver will win two tickets to The Adirondack Coast Wine, Cider & Food Festival and a one night stay at the Plattsburgh Days Inn. Ò TheyÕ ll experience a wide selection of different wines. As the wineries are growing and maturing, weÕ re truly getting the experience os wine made from
