The Wine Region

Eastern Ontario has a wine region along the North-Eastern shores of Lake Ontario. So, we put the micro-breweries to one side and try come Canadian wine culture. We have a very pleasant couple of days. The weather is great and the wineries are lovely. The wines are…… varied. This is not the place for bold reds, and they’re better off not trying (but some insist). We have some whites that are odd, but others that are very good. We leave the area adding a few bottles to the Troopy cellar. Interesting fact - they have to trim and bury the vines in winter to protect against the extreme cold. We also call into the attractive river-side (this is where the St Lawrence starts) town of Kingston - home of the Canadian Military Academy.Read more
