Whine and Cheese, and Wine and Cheese

Here you go Phil - an update so you stop giving me a hard time.


I love Niagara Falls. Where else can you see an amazing natural wonder (in the snow in April .. hence the whine) and do Glow-in-the-Dark mini golf after eating at the Rainforest Cafe - a bit of cheesy good fun. We also went to the Niagara Imax - still the same one I saw on the Grade 7 trip to Niagara .. when the teacher puts her black cat in the barrel and it comes out white!




(And, I wonder how many people end up visiting the greenhouse just to get out the cold? It is always a good excuse for a visit -and always beautiful inside.)

Then, just 15 minutes down the road are wineries, more than 100 little B&Bs, huge houses and a pretty little town.

I really never get tired of seeing this sign - is it really that hard to notice the change in water level at Niagara Falls?

We stayed a nice B&B run by a Mennonite couple who fed us very well at breakfast!

We visited a few of the wineries (including some small ones we had not heard of before) and then went and did a wine tour at Jackson Triggs. By 1 p.m. Brad had tried about 16 different kinds of wine (including three ice wines!). The tour was pretty interesting and included more sampling.

After the tour, we had a wine and cheese plate (more sampling). They matched up three different kinds of cheeses with wine - including blue cheese with ice wine - I even ate the blue cheese. It was delicious!

OH - and surprised Dad with tickets to the Rocky Horror Show on Thursday night for an early birthday gift. Will have to post the pictures of him in the fishnets - sorry you missed it Phil (ha ha joking). It was great though - definitely worth seeing.
