Icewine

Did I mention that when we came back from Toronto (but before the crappy 2-hour delay at the border) we stopped off in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a small, picturesque town at the center of one of Canada's most important viticultural regions? We visited two wineries, the first of which was great. If you ever get a chance to visit Konzelmann vineyards, I highly recommend them. They have an extremely friendly staff, and all tastings are free, including the extraordinarily wonderful icewines (some are very expensive too: 200ml for $60). They also have a beautiful sloping vineyard overlooking Lake Ontario. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on that little side jaunt. And of course, brought home some bottles!
