The first week of September saw us in the Okanagan, valley, staying at the Naramata Heritage Inn. A quaint little place in a sleepy town in wine country. Great time of year for some tasting (for Ted and Liz) and sniffing (Sheila.) We had great lunches at Quail's Gate and Lake Breeze wineries and a sumptuous affair at Burrowing Owl to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Liz was the gooseberry (English) or lightbulb (Chinese) 3rd person along. We really enjoyed her visit, Ted loved having a drinking companion again, and she learned a lot about Canadian wines, something they don't know about in the UK, other than ice wine. A beautiful time of year in the middle of harvest, gorgeous terroir and loaded vines, luscious fruit crop too. Stopped off for a night in Vernon for dinner with Sandy, Les and SuperDave. A rushed trip but worth it.
