Nothing like kicking off the summer with a road trip! I headed up to Penticton for the Canada Day long weekend. Tough leaving Kits and Vancouver sunshine but the drive was gorgeous and the space much appreciated. Morning golf. Soaking up the sun and reading by Okanagan Lake. Wine tasting in the afternoon with Allison. Fireworks from the railway tracks. Just what the doctor ordered:)
Alison and I started our wine tasting ventures together many years ago when I was presenting at a reading conference in Kelowna. I booked the B&B. She booked the wine tour and opened up a whole new world for us that didn't include our treasured children running around. We have fond memories of The Red Rooster winery because we were introduced before it was truly discovered and we LOVE the wine. Hillside, Wild Goose and Blasted Church (especially the sparkling) were fun as usual but the best time was certainly Tinhorn Creek. The gentleman pouring was delightful and provided a cooler, plates, napkins and a chilled rose to enjoy with our bread and cheese. We headed down to a table by the vineyard. The rows of different grape varieties reminded me of Napa. We were able to go unnoticed until long after closing and catch up on our latest and greatest thoughts, feelings, ponderings... "Practically perfect". Sometimes life is that good!
