Wine Tour w/ the Laus

Hello! It's Monday, and I'm fresh off my wonderful weekend in Long Island, spending time with the second family...the Lau family. We actually spent the weekend on a wine tour. A little history for ya'll: One year ago, the Laus and I took a trek down (or rather further east) to wine country in Long Island...we ended up playing an exciting and intense game of  bean-bag-into-hole! Additionally, this place has delicious corn and foodz! So of course, Mrs. Lau, wearing the pants in the Lau clan, made the executive decision to go back and enjoy what was a very enjoyable experience last time.

After the wine tour, we decided to hit up a restaurant recommended by Angela for dinner. It was called Front Country Inn. It was very funny because this restaurant is located off the beaten path. By that, I mean that as you're driving, the sign for the restaurant is located next to a tiny tiny small shack that stores Front Country Inn's beverages. Being such a great sleuth, I decided to do some investigating to determine whether our restaurant was indeed located in a small shack or not. Thankfully, the restaurant was hidden behind a small rock path and foliage. With hungry stomachs, we made our way into the restaurant. The restaurant was a nice, quaint establishment that was clearly not made to sit 7 people. Therefore, we were led to a private room....the VIP room!

* my main dish: angel hair w/ shrimp and mussels!

All in all, this restaurant was decent. I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, so the salad was mildly ruined for me. As well, the shrimp in the pasta dish was slightly overcooked...not that I could cook it any better :P! On the flip side, the mussels were delicious, and I loved the angel hair pasta. The crab cake appetizer was very delicious; unfortunately, the salad they were served with had a dressing that was heavy on the mayo....but as I said before: this restaurant is decent...and is a great find for anybody looking to eat dinner on the way back home from a wine trip.

Till next time...I bid ya'll good eating!
