This vacation of sorts comes down to an evening's stroll in downtown Picton. Toronto Life had recommended a restaurant "Harvest" a couple hundred metres off the strip, up and over a hill that I thought I'd check out. I lugged myself over, looking like a cripple in every way, when the restaurant had a "for sale" sign in the front. Another suggestion by Toronto Life, "Bean Counter Café" was worth a look especially since it furthered my anti-CMA agenda. The ice latte tasted like McDonalds. 0/2 Toronto Life! The coffee shop up the street, "Miss Lilly," was much better. It even poured a latte art not unlike my own banner.

Pending my "Harvest" disappointment, the next best thing was "Portabella." I do love portabello! I finally ordered the long-overdue Prince Edward County wine. It was good, says someone who could count the wines he's had with his fingers. The chicken was good too.

The food on this trip was in general satisfying, but nothing to rival even the common selections of Toronto (or Kingston, for that matter). In fact the closing down of Picton's best restaurants ("Harvest" and "Pinch") show very little demand for fine dining in wine country (how weird).
