Peller Estates Icewine Experience

Niagara Falls Hotel Deals — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:00:46 +0000

I visited Peller Estates for their icewine experience, and I wasn’t disappointed. They served two different kinds of icewine, followed by large marshmallows which were also infused with icewine. The icewine was fantastic – I particularly enjoyed their Vidal, which was their sweetest offering. After the wine, we were able to roast marshmallows over an open fire. The marshmallow was messy, but was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. Peller Estates will be holding this event again on January 28th and 29th, and this will be the last weekend until next year. For more information, click here

Between the Lines Winery – An Underdog Story

Niagara Falls Hotel Deals — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:21:30 +0000

On Sunday I had the opportunity to attend the Ice Wine festivities in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This week I’ll be discussing the experiences I had at some of the wineries in the area.

First I want to share my thoughts on a relatively new winery called Between the Lines. The story of this winery was really inspiring to me because it shows that new business ventures have the ability to compete with the established wineries. Between the Lines was created by two brothers from Germany, only two years ago. Within a short period of time, they were able to grow a vineyard, produce high quality wine and icewine, and market the brand under a memorable name. Despite the fact that they only started actually selling the wine a year ago, I had already bought a bottle a few months back and recognized their name as soon as I saw it. It was great to be able to try their icewine, which held up well against the top-tiered brands in Niagara. They also let me try some delicious white and dark chocolate truffles, which were infused with their icewine.

Their biggest challenge seems to be space – the winery equipment and barrels are packed into a very small area, and I get the sense they will need to expand very soon due to their increasing demand. From talking to the brothers, I’m convinced that they’re up to the challenge, and their passion for wine making is definitely evident in the final product.

Niagara Falls Restaurants – Antica Pizzeria

Niagara Falls Hotel Deals — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:23:10 +0000

I just had lunch at Antica Pizzeria the other day and the food was excellent. Pizza is just a small part of what they offer, and no one at the table even ended up ordering pizza. I had the steak panini, which contained AAA striploin, sautéed mushrooms, bruschetta mix, lettuce and melted cheese. The meal was delicious and filling – I’ll definitely be returning to this restaurant.
