Like so many, my wife and I were ready for a respite from our COVID-19 exile. Two nights at the…read moreelegant Hamilton House was just what the doctor ordered! Built in the 1860s and a stop on the Underground Railroad, the spacious, high-ceilinged HH exudes history and charm. Innkeeper and owner Gloria Buley greeted us warmly; I like to think I could see her smile through the surgical mask she was wearing. Our well-appointed room had a comfy king bed and a recently remodeled en suite. The wardrobe contained two plush bathrobes; a small table held bottles of Perrier, chocolates, fresh flowers, and two surgical masks. Like our room, the inn's common areas are immaculate and tastefully furnished with period antiques and Oriental rugs. Our two breakfasts were highlights! Gloria's a CIA culinary school grad and it shows. Fresh-squeezed OJ, omelettes, French toast, baked apples, sausages, Canadian bacon--whew, I don't eat nearly this well at home. Breakfast was also a chance to get to know Gloria. A recent transplant from Woodstock, NY, she purchased the Hamilton House weeks before the coronavirus shut down the world. I'd be down in the dumps, but Gloria seems indefatigable and is using the time to, among other things, install a garden walk that will pay homage to the nearby Birge Fountain, circa 1903. We're already looking forward to our next visit! A tip: One of Wisconsin's best supper clubs, the Duck Inn in Delavan, is a 15-minute drive from the HH.

My brother and his wife treated me to a weekend at the Hamilton Inn. (They had stayed there a year…read moreago and raved about it - for good reason!) This gorgeous 1861 mansion is exquisite, perfect down to the last detail. The multi-course breakfasts, created by innkeeper (and Culinary Institute-trained chef) Gloria, were off-the-charts delicious and kept my belly full til dinnertime, even after a day spent hiking the gorgeous Kettle Moraine. I slept deeply on the luxurious comfy bed, but I'd eat saltine crackers and sleep on a cot to hear Gloria's stories! Gloria has a talent for being present but never intrusive. She'll give you a house tour with fascinating tidbits (from John Belushi to the Underground Railroad!) but ask about her journey from Woodstock NY to Whitewater WI for a rollicking story with a happy ending!

I went to Doubleday's on a Saturday to attend a Celebration of Life in the banquet hall. I was…read moresurprised at how large Doubleday's was! On the first floor, they have a spacious banquet hall, a bar, and a pull-tab machine. I'm also pretty certain I saw people playing Beer Pong or Flip Cup cups at a couple of tables in the back of the banquet room... Downstairs they have a bowling alley, a large sports bar, a pool table, and claw machines. I also saw they offer fresh made pizza and fish fry. A little something for everyone I suppose! *I can't comment on the food or drinks because I didn't eat or drink at the celebration.*

I will preface with I LOVE Cambridge wines. I usually go to the tasting room in Madison, which is…read morevery cozy, but the main winery is like an abandoned showroom. I totally get that it is a customizable event space, but it's very dark and eery, there was no music playing, sitting anywhere felt weird except outside, and I don't know if I could envision a date night here. I expect a certain inviting warmness and ease at a winery and I wish this was with how amazing their wine and food is. Products and wine is a definite 5 stars.

Burger had so much smoky molasses flavored bacon jam on it that it was overwhelming. Bun was a bit dry. Caesar chicken salad was just meh. The black bean soup was good, but again, overly salty.

Fairly limited menu and a bit pricey but the presentation food are both excellent and well worth the price. Wednesday night and the bar was moderately busy and the dining room had plenty of tables open but it was early. Very friendly and attentive server. Very good cocktails with obvious attention to detail. Manhattan and old fashioned were tasty and good pours. We split a BLT blue cheese wedge salad, with was very good. (I prefer an iceberg wedge, this was good but a little lighter on the lettuce) My shrimp pasta was awesome; great presentation, light oil and pesto with tender shrimp and a variety of vegetables. My wife enjoyed her wagyu meat loaf with mashed potatoes. We ended with desserts of strawberry rhubarb crisp with vanilla ice cream, and flourless chocolate cake; more of a brownie, both were delicious. Highly recommend. Can't wait to try the fish fry.

I Yelped bourbon bars, and found Erin's Snug just down the street from our hotel. I had hoped to have corned beef and cabbage, but was told they were out. Ugh. So I settled for a Reuben. (I looked at him quizzically when he told me they could still make this, but he said the corned beef was prepared a different way. It was kind of shredded.) This wasn't optimal for my low-carb diet, but I pulled off most of the bread and went with it. It was okay, but not great. Kind of disappointing. My Maker's Mark Manhattan, on the other hand, was quite tasty. My husband had the stew, and said it was very good. It came with a large piece of bread on top, maybe soda bread, and was served in a large bowl, Other than the bartender making a joke about how they wouldn't put the Bears game on because this was Packers country (as it turns out, he's from Buffalo), and being oddly out of corned beef and cabbage, the evening was nice.
