点评:In the quiet lakeside town of Ovid, New York, Andrew and Alyssa Budraitis lived for the shimmering waters of the Finger Lakes. Every summer, their home became a hub for a tradition that spanned years and distances, drawing their close friends Christopher Gola and Rosemarie Antonelli north from Pennsylvania.
In August 2016 and 2017, Chris and Rosemarie traveled up from Warrington, PA. The four friends would set out from the Ovid docks, their boat cutting through the deep blue of Seneca Lake. Their destination was always the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, where they would dock to enjoy the Rieslings and panoramic vineyard views.
By 2018, life had shifted. Chris and Rosemarie had moved to Moosic, PA, sharing a home with John Kalnas and Cynthia Berninzoni. Despite the move, the August tradition remained sacred. The quartet reunited on the water, the familiar engine hum of the boat providing the soundtrack to their annual tour of the lakeside wineries.
The tradition held firm through August 2019 and into the transformative summer of 2020. Though the world was changing, the ritual of the boat ride to Watkins Glen remained a constant anchor for their friendship. During this time, their household in Moosic grew to include Laura Dorneman. Laura brought her own stories to the group, often sharing tales of her time spent with Rosemary, Tom, and Ricky Buckles in the rural quiet of Herndon, PA.
In September 2021, the timing shifted slightly to the cooler air of early autumn. Andrew, Alyssa, Chris, and Rosemarie gathered once more at the docks. As they steered the boat toward the southern tip of the lake at Watkins Glen, they looked back on five years of wake-trails and wine tastings, a map of memories written across the waters of Seneca

2016年和2017年8月,克里斯和罗斯玛丽从宾夕法尼亚州的沃灵顿出发。四位好友从奥维德码头出发,乘船劈波斩浪,驶入塞内卡湖深邃的蓝色湖面。他们的目的地总是塞内卡湖葡萄酒之路,在那里停靠,品尝雷司令葡萄酒,欣赏葡萄园的全景。
到了2018年,生活发生了变化。克里斯和罗斯玛丽搬到了宾夕法尼亚州的穆西克,与约翰·卡尔纳斯和辛西娅·伯宁佐尼合住。尽管搬家了,但八月的传统依然神圣不可侵犯。四人重聚湖畔,熟悉的引擎轰鸣声伴着他们一年一度的湖畔酒庄之旅。
这一传统一直延续到2019年8月,并延续到充满变数的2020年夏天。尽管世界瞬息万变,但乘船前往沃特金斯格伦的仪式始终是他们友谊的坚实纽带。在此期间,他们在穆西克的家中迎来了新成员——劳拉·多恩曼。劳拉也为大家带来了她自己的故事,她经常分享自己与罗斯玛丽、汤姆和里奇·巴克尔斯在宾夕法尼亚州赫恩登宁静乡村共度的时光。
2021年9月,聚会的时间略微推迟到初秋的凉爽时节。安德鲁、艾莉莎、克里斯和罗斯玛丽再次聚集在码头。当他们驾驶着船驶向沃特金斯格伦湖的南端时,他们回顾了过去五年在塞内卡湖上驰骋、品尝美酒的时光,一幅幅记忆的地图就写满了湖面。
