We selected a bottle of Waupoos baco noir to accompany. Waupoos (aboriginal for rabbit) is a local winery. For a photo, I placed the cork with the rabbit diving into the bottle, recalling the Lewis Caroll story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. With its eclectic wine list The Merrill Inn boasts the only restaurant between Ottawa and Toronto which has received The Wine Spectator award of excellence three times in a row.
