For our second lunch on the Cayuga Wine Trail, we headed to The Bistro at The Thirsty Owl Wine Company. We found it from some online research, and then it wound up being the vineyard right next to The Copper Oven! Gotta love a coincidence.
The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived. It was a beautiful day and lot of people had made reservations for large groups to eat after their wine tastings, so the patio was completely packed. Since we were pretty hungry when we arrived, we decided to just sit at one of the inside tables so we could eat sooner.
The menu is pretty standard American fare. The seafood was tempting, but we decided to try the Crustless Quiche du Jour instead since we figured it was already made and wouldn't require too much waiting. DJ got the one with 3 cheeses, and Mel opted for the one with bacon and potato. Both were tasty, and the side salad had a lovely dressing. The real star of the meal was the Riesling. They gave us extremely generous pours, and it was just the right blend of sweet and crisp to be refreshing on a summer day. We enjoyed it so much, we purchased two bottles to bring home!
After we finished up our meal, we enjoyed the chance to just walk around outside. The outdoor area available to the public is quite large, complete with picnic tables for casual hanging out. It was so relaxing to get a close up look at the grapes and take in the view of Cayuga Lake.
Cheers to you, Thirsty Owl!
