Second stop on Saturday’s Wine Trail Ride with WindsorEats was a stop at Mastronardi Estate Winery. Here we saw more vines, learned about how they keep things warm in the winter, and saw the red grapes changing colour from green to red.

There’s another ride in September so if cycling across the county tasting wine sounds like your cup of tea keep and eye on the WindsorEats blog.

This past weekend I headed out with the WindsorEats gang for a 25km Wine Trail Ride through Ruthven and Kingsville to check out three local wineries for tours and samples. We finished the ride here at Aleksander Estate Winery for more wine and a fabulous barbecue of local foods all grown within ten minutes of the winery.

It’s Friday again already. Summer is slipping by and before you know it, the kids will be back and school, vacations will be over, and the weather will be cooling off.

Where will you wish you could be when all that happens?

If you try this out on the Detroit River you need to watch out for freighters. The river can get pretty busy and the big ships cannot manouver around you (if they even see you). That said, the best way to play in the river is to stay above it — even with the work of the Detroit River Cleanup it’s still awfully polluted.

This elephant elephant is out for a stroll in Windsor’s Sculpture Garden along Riverside Drive. The photo was processed using HDR imaging (High Dynamic Range) to give it the extra funky lighting effects. There’s more about the process on Wikipedia.
