Get your foodie on!
During a March Break drive around the Niagara region a couple of years ago, we stumbled upon the then brand new Tawse Winery. We quickly fell in love with the place and their wines. The natural route to Tawse begins with a trip to Vineland Estates. As one crests a large hill on Cherry Avenue, [...]

I fully admit it: I am a point of purchase marketer’s dream. If something at the check out is unique and catches my eye, chances are I’m going to buy it if the price is right. While we were preparing for our last shindig (recipes and photos to follow) I came across these Sofiato Pillows [...]
