Tidbits

Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.
Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Niagara Ice Wine Festival 2006

Went with the family last weekend on Sunday. 11 AM to 6 PM. We just got one $25 pass for the five of us, and I’m sure we got our money’s worth.

Visited fourteen in all (new record):

Angels Gate Winery: Decent icewine
Fielding Estate: Above-average icewine, really sweet Riesling
Magnotta: Sucky icewine
Crown Benches: Still the best
Vineland Estates: Above-average icewine
Stoney Ridge: Sucky cheese fondue
Cave Springs Cellars: Too crowded, no service, blue cheese samples too strong for the older folks
Coyoto’s Run: Average icewine
Chateau des Charmes: Average icewine, disappointing
Maleta Estate Winery: Average icewine that became above average when paired with their spongecake
Riverview Cellers Estates: expensive chocolate fondue fountain, but fun nonetheless
Inniskillin Wines: average icewine, ridiculous tasting fees
Caroline Cellars: sort of suck of icewine by then
Strewn Winery: artic coffee, sort of sour...
