The afternoon turned rainy, so Theresa wanted to do some shopping. We headed to the Waterloo Outlets up Rt14 about 20mins.

My wife would spend all her spare time there - while I spent mine around the corner at Bass Pro. Very expensive.

The 5 day forecast is looking much better for the weekend - I know it doesn't help you much this week but at least the wind will change and offer some relief. You are our eyes and ears this week though so get out there if you can and help us weekend warriors. I expect the changing conditions all week will have the kings scattered again.

the fish have been scattered in Sodus, hopefully some west wimd will get things back to normal.

I've been to the outlet mall twice in the 13 years I have lived near it. Basss Pro on the other hand has been my downfall. :devil::devil::devil:

Today we headed to Canada to enjoy the Niagara wine trail. Theresa and I are not big drinkers, but we found out a few years ago that we really like icewine! It's a wine that is made by waiting to pick the grapes until they have frozen on the vines. They get about one drop of liquid per grape!

The wine trail is full of beautiful vineyards.

The first vineyard we stopped at was the icehouse

They had very good icewine including ice slushis that Theresa loved, but they jacked up their prices and did the buy two get one free thing... I hate it when places do that.

The next winery was Riverview. They had a limited amount of wines to taste and they were just ok.

After that we hit up a couple more commercial places, the first being Inniskillin.

The icewine here was very very good, but you pay for the quality.

The next place was Peller. The building and vineyard was absolutely stunning!

The icewine here was again very good, but you again paid for the quality. The tastings were also relatively inexpensive. This may be one of our new favorite wineries!

Since I was driving, I was only taking a little taste of the samples, "forcing" Theresa to drink the rest. She was getting pretty "joyful" at this point so we decided to head to Niagara-on-the-Lake for lunch. We hit up our favorite restaurant Corks.

2012-08-28_15-52-42_690.jpg

They have the best fish and chips!

2012-08-28_15-25-15_272.jpg

After lunch we hit up a few of the cool little shops on Niagara-on-the-Lake. If you haven't been there yet, it's a very cool place to visit...

2012-08-28_16-26-30_261.jpg

2012-08-28_16-26-39_284.jpg

We also stopped at a small non-commercial winery Sunnybrook. The tastings were very cheap and the wine so so. We came away with a blueberry chocolate wine, more for its unusualness than flavor.

Also, how cool is it to see the speedometer over 100, even if in Km/hr :)

2012-08-28_18-38-17_196.jpg

On the way home we stopped by our spring stomping grounds and hit up the Wilson Boat House for a bowl of delicious seafood chowder, YUM!

Back at dock now and the wind is absolutely howling. I'm not even going to bother to set the alarm for the morning. Hopefully, it will settle down and we can get some fishing in... if not, at least we'll have some wine to keep us busy ;)

Nick
