Niagara, what a wonderful place! Even after the ridiculous Toronto traffic, it took us almost 3 hours yesterday to get through 401 and QEW at a snails pace. We finally hopped off the highway and drove along the beautiful back roads of wine country. As usual, we hit our favorite vineyard Vineland and then we hit Thirty Bench for their great Riesling and even bought 2 bottles of their "Red" this time. We drove around some more and discovered Beamsville Bakery Patisserie, a quaint European style bakery with treats made with artisan methods without shortcuts and artificial ingredients, worth swinging by if you're ever in that area. We also tried a winery that we've never been to before, Creekside Estate. Interesting blends of wines and judging by some of their creations, they're kinda the punks of wine making, we ended up collecting 3 bottles that we liked. The weather was great, Amanda and I had a wonderful day that ended in Niagara's Botanical Garden and Lundy's Lane strip.
