    And here I am living in the Finger Lakes 20 years sober. I've missed out on the whole boutique winery/brewery/distillery thing that has really taken off in the last 10 or 15 years. Made many a dollar as a kid working in the vineyards.

    Great video and excellent photography. There are 11 Finger Lakes. Two are water supplies for the city of Rochester and cannot be developed. Each lake has its own special character and of course, their own unique wineries.
    Dr. Frank was the true pioneer proving in the 1950s that European style vinifera grapes, esp. reds, could be cultivated in this climate and produce quality wines!

    Nice video. We are fulltimers too and visiting the Finger Lakes for the first time. Interesting to compare and contrast our experiences. We went to different wineries but they were each good. Unfortunately, it is getting warm and humid for the season. So hookups only for now… We tasted at Knapp Vineyards, Black Duck Cidery, Boundary Breaks Wines, and Castel Grisch. Not a bad wine/cider yet

    Thank you for going to these vineyards. Pretty awesome. I loved how you trained your at to the sit command. I didn’t know that you can do that with a cat. Like a dog. Very nice. We used to have a cat when I was younger. I love wine especially white wine. I would get the $14. 00 wine too. I love garlic didn’t know there was different types. I can’t believe nobody in the park. I would stay either. Loved the the waterfalls. Glad you had good WiFi with Nomad internet. Great video. Hope you have a great night and week and see you soon!

    We just got back from Maine and found a winery outside of Bar Harbor called Bar Harbor Cellars and they make a wine that tastes just like blueberry pie, yum:). The taste lingers on your lips for a few hours if you like them, so good. Tried a few other blueberry wines but nothing as good as theirs. The colors in Maine was very cool.

    We really enjoyed the tour of this area. Your video of the UP in Michigan convinced us to go there last week and it was beautiful. We also really like your video style and quality of editing. Do you use the Sony ZV-1 for most your vlogs and do you think it works for most situations including your wide angle for the talking clips as well as scenery? From your videos it looks really good with talking clips not being to close up. Also, how much do you use smartphones for video content? Great work and this video helped us think about our next trip to NY and let my wife reconnect with areas she visited as a child. Thanks, Greg

    • @EatSeeRV
      @EatSeeRV  Před 2 lety

      Glad you enjoyed the video series in the UP! We actually filmed that entire series on our phones and go pro. We got the ZV1 starting in Wisconsin. I'd say we're 50/50 use on the ZV1 and phones. The Sony doesn't get great long shots so we still mostly get B-roll with our phones and moments lenses on our gimbal. But for vlogging and ease of use we LOVE the ZV1. It's a great starter vlogging camera to improve quality from go pro or phones but will have major limitations coming from a frameless DSLR.
