The Old Winery Restaurant (NOTL, ON) It’s set in a beautiful restored, you guessed it, old winery! Typical Italian trattoria serving what I would classify as Italian comfort food. I had the handmade ricotta gnocchi in gorgonzola cream sauce. Friends had the pizza which is baked in a wood fired oven. The selection of local wines is really good too.

Soooo anyway, this is actually the perfect location and setting for me to kick-off my blog as I am spending the week in Ontario, Canada attending the IIHF World Championships which to me is like a culmination of so many tournaments, here in North America (US & Canada) and Europe — the best of the best…
