Go Local

Over the course of my life there have been certain drinks that I enjoyed drinking. Anything with tequila has always been a fav. On a recent trip to Prince Edward County a passion for wine was developed. Don't worry tequila I still love you. To finally find some wine to enjoy on its own is rare for me. To be able to walk around one room and taste different local wines is the only way to go.

First stop
Copper Kettle Chocolate Company for some chocolate shots filled with local Ice Wines. Oh my Gods!!

Second stop

Hillier Creek Estates - Chardonnay Estate 2008 and Pinot Noir 2007 full body wines designed for sipping and relaxing.

Over to The county Cider CO. were the best non carbonated Cider is created and labeled Prince Edward County Iced Cider this cider was so good that a 2nd glass was needed.

Best of the best was Huffs Estates Riesling Off Dry 2008 it may have been the 6 glasses of wine before but the 2 bottles enjoyed at home are still as good.

Another trip is needed to beautiful Picton for some more wine tasting and purchasing. The B&B locations by lake Ontario looks like a good place to lay ones head after a day of local wine touring.
