Sainte Supery Sauvignon Blanc, Napa
we just discovered this incredible sauvignon blanc and were literally blown away – first by its brilliant hues of light yellow speared by vibrant streaks of green, and then by its aromas of exotic grapefruit and green lime. robust flavors of ruby grapefruit, kiwi and guava followed, with a stunningly crisp finish. this one is great not only with mild cheeses and fish, but is an absolute killer with our boldly flavored thai dishes		 $12.00
Kendall Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay, Sonoma
this is a fresh and lively chardonnay that’s largely fruit-driven with just a trace of oak. it’s got great balance and plenty of clean, ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavor. it’s a very popular choice at the mingo because it’s terrific with asian-influenced dishes, but if you’ve tired of this one and are looking for something new, try raymond’s napa reserve for a delightful change of pace		 $10.00
Jordan Russian River Chardonnay, Sonoma
this delicately elegant wine is filled with subtle fruit and oak nuances to seduce the palate. aromas of fresh green and fuji apples lead seamlessly to an elegant palate framed by lively acidity and a hint of the french oak in which it was aged for five months. apple crispness lingers in the long, graceful finish. some of the best chardonnay that this exceptional vineyard has ever produced, it’s one of our runaway favorites		 $16.00
Swedish Hill Vineyards, Blue Waters Dry Riesling
The classic riesling grape consistently makes outstanding wines in the cool climate of the Finger Lakes Region of New York. With elegant floral aromas and a clean crisp finish, this drier style of Riesling is versatile with many foods. Great with the Shrimp and Grits, mussels, and poultry dishes.		 $10.00
Martin Codax Rias Baixas Albarino, Spain
savvy pinot grigio drinkers wanting to break away from the pack have recently uncovered the secret of albarino, the spanish seductress, with its fine aroma and intense flavor. the moderate climate of the rias baixas, with its atlantic breezes and well-drained soil, produces a dry but full-bodied wine with delicate peach, melon, grapefruit and zesty lemon flavors that provide an incredibly refreshing alternative to the same old same old. spain’s best-kept secret is out		 $10.00
Urban Riesling, Germany
rieslings are back in vogue with a vengeance, and this brilliant new wine from the mosel valley may well beat all others in its range. it exhibits a lively acidity with ripe floral aromas and brilliantly vibrant fruit flavors tempered by the much sought-after hint of slate that make the mosel wines world famous. a remarkable treat at the price		 $10.00
Mohau Sauvignon Blanc, New Zeland
This pure and vibrant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is rich in ripe and juicy tropical fruit flavors with traces of stone fruit and fresh cut lime combined with notes of fresh picked summer herbs. A great wine with fish. A great wine without fish. A great wine.		 $12.00
Sokol Blosser Winery, “Evolution”
This exciting new blend from the very innovative, second-generation Sokol Blosser family is a complex, big, juicy, and exquisite blend of Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Syrah. It has a rich garnet color and pure fruit aromas of Maraschino cherry, strawberry preserves, and red plum with notes of tangy cranberry, ripe raspberry and loganberry, all sharpened by a bright edge of pomegranate and blood orange with hints of cinnamon. The finish is smooth and juicy.		 $11.00
Cannonball Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma
On many a hot summer day. we look out at the sparkling lake waters and dream of the lazy, bygone days of doing a cannonball dive from the end of the dock. These days we simply do a bottle of this exciting revival of a classic Cabernet style. It has the characteristics of a noble, old style Bordeaux: richly layered with blackberry, cassis and truffle, firmly structured with lush tannins and a pleasant lingering finish. A wine to dive into and share a splash with friends.		 $10.00
William Hill Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
this is undoubtedly one of the best values in california cabernet. with scents of black currant, vanilla and subtle oak and layers of blackberry and spice on the palate, it is extremely well balanced with fresh acidity and soft but clearly discernable tannins. a great effort at an unbeatable price and one of our very favorites on the list		 $9.75
Smith And Hook Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa
it’s not every day that you stumble upon a wine that is not only superb in taste and texture, but also happens to pair perfectly with some of our favorite dishes (all red meats, the mingo ribs and the shrimp and grits). this phenomenal vintage from an outstanding vineyard is deep ruby in color with aromas of dark fruits, clove and spice. notes of black cherry, cassis and raspberry are followed by nuances of bell pepper and cocoa. it is a wine that is lush and textured, with gripping tannins, well-developed acidity and a lingering finish		 $12.00
Marques De Caceres Crianza, Spain
Forced to flee Spain during the Spanish Civil War, the Forner family established it’s sterling reputation as vintners at two of the finest properties across the border in Bordeaux, Chateau Camensac and Chateau Larose-Trintaudon. Upon the family’s return to Spain following the death of Generalissimo Franco, and armed with classical French wine making talents, Henri Forner established the Marques de Caceres bodega in Spain’s finest viticulture area, Cenicero in Rioja Alta, where the family began to produce some of Spain’s very best Crianza. This remarkable Crianza is made with a tantalizing blend of grapes – 85% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha Tinta and Graciano. It is a deep ruby red color with fresh notes of red berries on the nose that are enriched by an earthly depth of vanilla and sweet spice. Clean and lively on tasting with ripe tannins that blend with balanced structure, it is full and fleshy in the mouth with an unending array of delicious flavors where mature tannins melt into a structure of near perfect harmony. A remarkable wine at a remarkable price.		 $12.00
Oyster Bay Pinot Noir, New Zealand
this terrific pinot has been getting spectacular press lately, and it’s very well deserved as it is an elegant, cool-climate pinot noir at its best. it is fragrant, soft and flavorful, with aromas of ripe cherries, plums and gentle sweet fruit tannins which provide serious structure and length		 $10.00

Chateau Campuget Costieres De Nimes Rose
This delightful Rose displays an intense, peony-pink color accompanied by aromas of fresh raspberry and black currants. On the palate a perfect balance between vivacity and mellowness leads to an exceptionally long and refreshing finish kept alive with a delicate impression of fruitiness.		 $10.00

A real find tucked away along the shore of Lake Otsego. The waitress (as all that we saw) was super friendly and efficient. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. We ordered batter fried dill pickles, fish tacos with sweet potato fries, and crab cake platter with asparagus and fries. Atmosphere was perfectly casual and charming. Seating on the patio or below next to the dock. Very scenic.

My husband and I dined here. The service was attentive and friendly. We started with crab cakes. No fake crab meat here. Yummy! Then we had a lobster roll with sweet potato fries and a Mingo steak roll (the sauce! So good!) with regular fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. The dessert was out of this world! We had the chocolate torte. To die for! We highly recommend it. I wish we had paused long enough to take a few more pictures. Compliments to the chef!!!

Luckily we came early enough we were able to get a spot directly on the water. Next time I would do one on the upper deck as I feel he would get a better View not just of the boats directly next to you. Service was very good. We did try the Cooperstown cosmopolitan and it wasn’t too shabby. The lobster meal and New York strip meal was very good. I’d never had au gratin potatoes in this manner and they were not too shabby. The roasted broccoli was fantastic the asparagus that came with the lobster was a little Bland( next time we might ask for a little parmesan on it) and a little firm but still went very well with the lobster and the au gratin potatoes. This was a redo meal from our anniversary dinner at another establishment on the water that disappointed us so thankfully we were very pleased and we will definitely return.

This place has a beautiful location and friendly service. The food and cocktails however, leave a lot to be desired. My fish tacos tasted like they had been refried and tasteless. Won’t be going back.

One of the beat steaks outside of Omaha. Excellent Chimichuri sauce and garlic potatoes. Son’s steak with bourbon honey glaze was outstanding. Wife seafood wrap was good too. Crab cake and pot sticker appetizers were really tasty.
