A Perfect Afternoon at Coffin Ridge

John and I finally had a chance last month to visit the Coffin Ridge Winery and Vineyard.

Collingwood Farmer’s Market

I ran into one of my fav real estate clients at the Collingwood Farmer’s Market this past week-end.  I I asked her why she had a booth for her business there and she said, “I like the vibe here.”  In my view, that pretty much sums things up. It’s a small market but offers everything you’d expect [...]
