Eating, sleeping, and one more wine



Finally, on to our B&B and dinner. We stayed at the lovely Bayside Bed & Breakfast, aptly named as it fronts a perfect stretch of shore, where you can swim off the dock in the company of labs Sam and Chaser. Host Peter Jamieson is welcoming, warm and informative, and makes great French toast. pjamieson@reach.net or (613) 476-8931.

Dinner was at Harvest, a beautiful three year old Picton restaurant founded by Karin and Michael Potters, former Toronto restaurateurs and chef. They focus on local and seasonal products and a French-style cuisine.

We both had wonderful meals (though we ate too much of the hearty whole-grain bread). And we drank a half-litre of:

The Grange "Trumpour's Mill" Pinot Noir VQA 2006
Dark Cherry, tobacco aromas lead to a complex palette of dark fruit, cassis, and leather. With a long tannic finish, it perfectly complimented my meal of mushrooms and mixed grains.

And that's the end of Day 1 in The County!
