Good morning. Today’s fun fact is that I’ve never drank a pumpkin spice anything. Latte, cold brew, hot chocolate (yes that’s a thing), tea, you name it. Never felt the urge. Thanks for listening to me share - and please don’t let this cause you to unfollow us. I promise, we’ll make it up to you.
Today’s theme if you haven’t guessed it yet is black gold. And no I’m not talking oil. So pour yourself a cup full of vitamin C(affeine), and let’s dive into this week’s newsletter.
Today’s read time is 5 minutes.

Nestled within the luxurious JW Marriott The Rosseau, Muskoka Chophouse is where classic steakhouse dining meets Muskoka elegance. Known for its premium cuts, fresh seafood, and refined atmosphere overlooking Lake Rosseau, it’s the perfect spot for an elevated night out in the heart of cottage country.
The Chophouse is designed for memorable nights — whether it’s a romantic dinner, a family celebration, or a refined gathering with friends. The glow of the dining room pairs beautifully with views of Lake Rosseau at twilight, setting the stage for a night to savour.
✨Insider Tip: Ask your server for a seat by the windows — the dining room is perfectly positioned for sunset views over Lake Rosseau, and the Chophouse’s sommelier can recommend a full-bodied red to match the moment.
