Put-in-Bay, Ohio
Saturday, July 21st, 2007We got away for a weekend to visit our parents in Ohio and since I have never been up to the lake that close, we decided to drive up to one of the islands and have some wine and enjoy ourselves there. Regarding the wine … well - it really makes you appreciate Pearmund Cellars and the Winery at La Grange 
I won’t call any names up there though … Later that day we went to a winery called Mon Ami and their Cabernet Sauvignon tasted really good along with the orange crusted salmon I had.
Anyway, what I wanted to mention is that we were walking across the island and found a chocolate museum. Skeptic as I am we went in and although I won’t spent any time describing the chocolate confections (more traditional, cream based american style) I have to say that the ‘museum’ is kind of cute and interesting. It is very small (one room) but it showcases a lot of older candy boxes from the US and it is nice to see the development of chocolate and candies here. I walked out surprised and was wondering if I would ever want to remind people of chocolate history in a future retail space - just another thing to add onto my wish list
Back at home I tried a new red from Australia (Red Belly Shiraz) and it paired quite
well with our Liberty Squares whiskey chocolates.
Oh, and although I did not make any pictures of the chocolate museum, I have some nice ones here from a guy telling us about the battle of lake Erie in 1813.
