A and I went to the Ice wine festival on the weekend in Niagara-on-the Lake it was dreamy. Initially I didn't think I would enjoy it because I didn't think I liked ice wine that much, but it was fun, picturesque, and even romantic. The wine was good, our first stop was Konzelmann Estate Winery it was my favorite, the people were welcoming, warm, and we loved their wine. I will go back again. I was however disenchanted with the bigger named wineries like Peller and Inniskillin, they catered primarily to people who appeared wealthy. Too bad for them, we buy a lot of wine. Downtown Niagara-On-The-Lake was beautiful, yet was unusually packed with herds of wealthy women in fur coats. I felt like I was in a winter wonderland. In the Ice wine tent they were serving Maleta Ice Wine which was lovely. After a while our feet started to get chilly so we went in to the Buttery for an authentic english tea. It was yummy, we had the best seats in the place the cushy seats against the window, so we could people watch, or watch the herds go by. Oh yes, I highly recommend blue cheese and Ice Wine, if I learned something from this experience this was it. Blue cheese goes great with ice wine! The day was a much needed treat in the middle of winter.
