Niagara Falls, ON




Hi there - Niagara Falls was a great place to stop and we enjoyed the falls the first day we were there. we took lots of pictures and we bought a few souveniers. We spent the next day touring wineries while the boys did school work. Not so much fun for them, but I enjoyed the day immenselym one of the best so far! We toured Jackson Triggs first, one of the few to allow you to view the actual process of winemaking. Of course a tasting at the end to conclude our visit, and the tastings in the Niagara region typically conclude with icewine. Let's discuss icewine, it is my new favourite dessert and we bought several bottles that day! I also actually learned the proper steps to taste wine, I thought of Dan, my peer at Starbucks, who once gave me a quick lesson about wine, needless to say, I know what to do when you order a bottle of wine at a restaurant and the waiter lingers while you are supposed to give your approval for the bottle they have uncorked. The other winery we toured was Inniskillen, also a great experience and very informative.
Today we are in Ottawa and hopefully about to visit some of Todd's old friends. I will add pictures once we have a better connection, with the stick, I cannot upload pictures.
