In continuing the pub crawl adventure we went up to the Tyrolian Village near Collingwood. We were interested in the caves and zip line there (more later) and after that exhausting investigation we needed to stop for refreshment.





Windy O'Neill's is a traditional pub with all the pub fixins and atmosphere and the ski slopes are about 200 feet from the front door. In the winter this would be a super hangout place.





 Jo-Anne had a steak pie which was advertised to be in a puff pastry. It wasn't and was very disapointing as it was in a traditional pie crust. The contents were ok but the crust ... however the Stellas were reliable ... cold and fresh.




However I had a chicken wrap which was one of the best I have ever had and the home fries were excellent. The wrap had bacon, lettuce, and tomato and a really great sauce ... nice ... all in a really fresh flour tortilla.

To make up for the Village fare we went back to our favorite vinyard, Coffin Ridge. Here's Jo with a glass of the Back From The Dead Red which is our favorite and some special four year old goat cheese ... not sure ... either the goat or the cheese was four years old ... but good anyhow.






And here is a shot of the plate we have shown before. The total was about $42 for the wine and the bread/cheese plate. We were sitting in 72 degree weather looking over the vinyards toward the blue Georgian Bay ... c'mon folks what is wrong with this picture, eh?







All of the ingredients are local, from the goat cheese to the breads. And the wine of course is made from the vines about 100 yards in front of our table.
