    SCOTTISH ACCENTS Eats – Treats – Cheeses

    Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

     “We are very pleased that our Scottish heritage allows us to bring
    the old Scottish favs to folks who appreciate them.”

    Owners: Ian and Elizabeth Batt
    We are Ian and Elizabeth Batt who found Prince Edward County by chance on a very cold wintery day 2005 and are so pleased we did. The County used to be a well kept secret in Ontario but no more.It is on the map and we are glad to be part of it.

    We are both retired from our respective professions and not wanting to sit on the proverbial porch in the rocking chair, we decided to make use of our Scottish roots having emigrated to Canada in 1968. We have pulled on our Scottish Grannies’ recipes and our experiences with organizing Highland Games and Robbie Burns nights. We are very pleased that our Scottish heritage allows us to bring the old Scottish favs to folks who appreciate them.

    Our “wee” shop is situated in the perfect village of Wellington, Ontario and to our surprise/delight we have attracted numerous customers with Scottish/British backgrounds.

    Special Products for Christmas:
    The kitchen is busy producing Tablet(fudge); Shortbread; Oatcakes; “hot” Cheesies and variety of cookies.The fruit cake and pudding are  resting to be ready to eat at Christmas.

    Special Events
    You will find us at several events this November and December.
    *Unique Boutique at the Inn, Huffs Estate Winery -  Nov 26/27 and Dec 3/4
    *Busy Hands above Books and Company Book Store, Picton – Dec 10/11
    *SugarBush Winery during Wassail’s weekends – Nov 19/20  Nov 26/27  Dec 3/4
    *We also have a stall at Belleville Farmers Market Thursdays and Saturdays.

    Products
    We have on hand all the Scottish favs-meat pies, mealie pudding, black pudding, potato scones, square sausage, sausage rolls, bridies, haggis,smoked salmon and wonderful sheep/goat/ cheese from La Moutonniere Fromagerie, Cross Wind Farms and Scotland.

    We look forward to meeting your Scottish food cravings.

    COPPER KETTLE CHOCOLATE COMPANY

    Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

    “The County’s favourite chocolate shop”.

    Owner:  Sue Burgess
    ”    I bought the business in 2006 after moving from Calgary and opened the first retail store in Wellington in 2007.  I outgrew that space very quickly, and moved in 2009 to our present location in a heritage building at 78  Main Street in Picton.  All the chocolate is made and packaged here in the Picton store, so the fabulous chocolate smell hits you as soon as you open the door.   Christmas is a crazy time, but we love the hustle and are tickled that Copper Kettle Chocolate is sent all over the country (and the world) to be included in far-away Christmas stockings .”  Sue

    Special Products for Christmas
    Every year customers look forward to the Egg Nog bark and the Candy Cane bark.  It’s only available in December, and once it’s gone, you won’t see it again for another year.

    Product Selection:
    Where to start?  We’ve got over 30 kinds of bark (bark is just a term for chocolate that’s thin and flat and sometimes bumpy, like tree bark), including a line of no-sugar-added barks suitable for diabetic diets.  We’re now up to 29 different kinds of truffles, plus a uniquely Prince Edward County treat – shots are chocolate shells filled with local wine.   We also make our own sponge toffee, and are the only Canadian outlet for all-organic Robin’s Chocolate Dessert Sauces.

    If you’re holiday entertaining, we also do customized chocolate trays, gift baskets and party favours.  Or if you have an idea, let us know and we’ll be happy to help create something unique.

    Moonlight on the Lake B&B, Kitchen and Vineyard

    Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

    “An invitation to a party and serendipity brought us to beautiful Prince Edward County.”

    Owners: Suzanne Lafrance and André Giroux
    “An invitation to a party and serendipity brought us to beautiful Prince Edward County. After 30 some years in hospitality and owning restaurants, a second life as operators of a B&B was a natural outcome. Our property on Huyck’s Point Road in Wellington, on the shores of Lake Ontario, is pure joy to our lives and provides me with daily inspiration in my cooking and baking, a continuance of my career as a chef outside the restaurant arena. Therefore, our home has become a destination as Moonlight on the Lake B&B, Moonlight’s Kitchen and our vineyard of 650 vines.”

    Christmas Specialties
    October and November are marathon baking months: traditional treats such as mincemeat, brandied fruitcakes, both aging as we speak, French Canadian tourtières of different flavors, this summer’s sweet and savory preserves and many more items.

    Special Events
    My delicious treasures will be available for purchase at three upcoming markets: Wassail’s weekends of Nov.26-27 and Dec. 3-4 at The Inn, at Huff Estates Winery, and Busy Hands, Dec. 10-11, above the Picton’s Books and Co. bookstore. Or take a scenic drive and pop in…A call beforehand to ensure that I am home is a good idea.

    Year Round
    Some of my products are seasonal, and some are available all the time. Our place is a beehive of activities: gardening, tending to our vines, cooking, winemaking, hosting our many B&B guests and some great cross country skiing when winter cooperates. Guests are welcome to take part in these experiences in our package offerings of cooking classes, girls time out at the spa, vineyard seasonal care and with luck, Xcountry in the back woods to a nearby winery. Of course, coming for pure relaxation without any agenda, is also encouraged!

    Waupoos Estates Winery End of Summer Celebration – The 1st Annual Grapevine Telegraph Music Festival

    Friday, August 26th, 2011

    waupoos-poster-copyThe County’s oldest winery has undergone some massive transitions this summer. Already home to one of the most coveted scenic spots in the County, Waupoos Winery has created even more reasons to visit – new ownership, a new Chef and restaurant expansion, a chocolate shop, and a waterfront patio are just a few of the changes that Waupoos Estates Winery can be proud of.

     

    Despite delays in re-opening caused by the renovation, Waupoos opened its new restaurant doors to the public this June and the response has been overwhelming. Often seating 200 for dinner on weekends, the expansion was well worth the wait, and the new owners want to celebrate! To thank their generous supporters and patient customers this coming weekend Waupoos Estates Winery will host the first annual Grapevine Telegraph – a festival of music, family fun, food and wine.

     

    The event is a multi-day affair starting with a fish fry this Friday, August 26th from 4-8pm. Live music will accompany the feast, and tickets are $12.00 for kids, $8.00 for children.  Bring the whole family on Saturday, August 27th for an all-day music festival – performances by Eden Hertzog, Chris Assad, Mel Larkin, Ariana Gillis, Brian Macmillan and Nine Mile, alongside kids activities, wagon rides, classic cars, prizes, and a 9pm firework show will complete this fun-filled event. If you’re not too tired by Sunday, join the Waupoos family for a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning on the patio from 9am -12pm, served with bacon, sausages and fresh fruit.

     

    This event marks the first of many events Waupoos Winery sees in their future. For more information on performances, and ticket prices please visit their website or contact them directly at 613.476.8338. Visit Waupoos Winery, the proud sponsors of the Farm and Artisan Market, at this years TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine event on September 24th, 2011 at the historical Crystal Palace.
