OCTA

It’s time to dust off your bike! Join WindsorEats Saturday, May 26, 2012 and support a great cause while enjoying a scenic ride through Windsor, sampling Ontario beers and nibbling on eats from local restaurants.

The Bikes & Beers Cycling Tour includes a support guide, beer, tastings, appetizers at restaurants and tours through some of the city’s historic neighbourhoods and landmarks. A support vehicle will also be on hand following riders through the streets of Windsor.

Each location will host a brewer and participants will be provided with beer tastings and appetizers. This year the ride will be visiting Rino’s Kitchen, Motor Burger and the new Walkerville Brewery. With Motor Burger launching their own craft brew in early June,
participants on Bikes & Beers will be the first to try the Motor Craft-Ales brand!

Tickets are $40 each with proceeds going to Returns for Leukemia. Please note, tickets sales end two days prior to the event day. Tickets are limited and sell quickly. Tickets can be purchased at WindsorEats.com

May 26 & 27 2012, customers at The Beer Store are invited to donate all or a portion of their empty bottles (or cash), with 100% of the proceeds going directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

Proudly Presents

 OUR ANNUAL BUS TRIP TO …

 THE PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY (PEC) WINE REGION

They said ‘it could never be done’! When told 4 wineries were too many to visit in one day, last year we did 5 with no problem. Well, this year we will go for the record: 8 wineries in one day! Fortunately 3 will present themselves at one location & another 3 will all be in walking distance to each other.

Four years ago we had a superb lunch & tasting with a spectacular view at Huff winery. We HAD to return. In planning this trip, we found what is arguably the best winery in PEC & most assuredly amongst the top 5 in Ontario. (We will let those on the bus trip guess/vote). We will visit a number of well known wineries.  Still, most of the wineries will be a “FIRST VISIT” for the OWS annual bus trip where one can expect ‘finds’ of exceptional quality &/or price.

Last year our members once again voted with their pocket books!!! We spent over $8,000 on purchases during our bus trip last year to the Niagara Escarpment, including $3,200 at one winery alone!!.

Then back in the kitchens at From the Farm Cooking School, you will create a Normandy countryside meal with recipes from the great French painter, Claude Monet’s cooking journals. An avid chef and entertainer, he was as inspired with his food creations as his art. (more…)
