We would like to thank everyone who made it out for our Sizzling Suckling Pig Roast on the 4th of July!
Everyone had a blast, especially Winey & Cheesy, who were extremely excited to see Alain in his festive American Flag T-shirt and Celeste singing along with the Brogue Rouges and their Hammer Dulcimer!
The Petanque Court on the front lawn became a battlefield. The First Prize winner took home a $75 Gift Certificate and The Second Prize winner got a L’Auberge Provencale Goodie Basket filled with homemade James, Granola, Vinegar and Olive Oil!
It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all (except maybe the Pig)! Winey & Cheesy had their camera’s ready to document the day’s festivities… we hope you enjoy them!

Maurice "Chillin"
Maurice and Bernadette have made it through the dog days of summer and are both looking forward to cooler weather. Cheesey is not sure if they care about leaf watching, but they certainly care about the crisp mornings! Maurice, the cat, is now waking up from a summer stupor and has been seen actually hunting (and still catching) little presents for the office. Bernadette, the Bernese Mountain Dog, has spent much of the summer in the air conditioning but now is frisky and still puppy like. With the drought we have experienced since the end of August, Winey and Cheesey, predict an early leaf change this year. But there will be no guarantees of a certain date.
The menu is changing to fall with some scumptous free range veal three ways, local Lamb from Fields of Athenry, and local Larsons Rabbits. We continue to get alot of our products locally, to ensure the best and freshest ingredients for our guests. And that travels right through breakfast with our local farm fresh eggs. A great time to come and dine!
While your hear enjoy the harvest of our local wineries, and great fall walking and hiking. Did winey mention balloon rides? They are the best right now.
