We had four inches of rain. Most of which came last night. Just small limbs down in our yard.

I will check my rain gauge later but I don't think it was ever heavy.

there are now over 100 to choose from -- estate wines that never see the shelves of vendors outside of the valley or province. Some of them are available only at the estate or farm gate.
10:20 am
rururocks
I think we're seeing 4 on that one day.. that should be a challenge
10:23 am

where's the happy then?
10:25 am

An adult toy :D

LOL ori.. how do they fit THAT in a box
10:26 am

If there are any others you want to visit in Kelowna, I will take you. If Summerhill isn't on your list it is an interesting place to take a tour -- they age their wines in a pyramid built entirely of natural materials. I don't know what difference that makes, but apparently it does -- their wines win lots of international awards (also, unfortuneately, quite expensive)
10:26 am
hurshy
in what area, hokie?
10:27 am
hurshy
is the quality better in europe?
10:27 am
hokie carla
in europe people with celiac disease can eat the french fries and get a gluten free bun

10:28 am
rururocks
i have picked some wineries that wouldn't be too far away from us so that we don't have to drive for hours and hours. Some of the ones I want to see unfortunately are several hours away.> I'll have to do them another time
10:28 am
mymuseisme
Nan, that pyramid structure sounds very interesting for a vineyard.
10:28 am
hurshy
if you age your wine in a pyramid you should call it Mummy Wine
10:29 am
rururocks
or Sphinx for the memories
10:29 am

Wish I was going with you on the wine tour Ru :)
10:29 am

If you are renting that house you were looking at, Summerhill is really close.
10:29 am
rururocks
oh.. ok.. we are renting that house.. it's a lock.. already paid for
10:30 am
rururocks
we're all looking forward to it and visiting the area
10:31 am
hokie carla
finally found another word
10:32 am
cybernan
Anything south of Penticton is a little far -- I should send you a wine map -- there are so many estate and farmgate wineries that make good wine and never see on tourist info websites.
10:32 am
rururocks
the owner of the house thought I was nuts nan renting it so early, but so many people were looking at the house I didn't want to lose it
10:34 am
rururocks
i would be up to going some distance but i think my compatriots don't want to spend hours on the road and would prefer to stay relatively close to home base
10:35 am
cybernan
PeTnticton is 40-60 minutes, depending on the traffic. A lot of the winers there are on the Naramatta bench (east side of the lake) and there are several between Kelowna and Pentiction in the Summerland area.
10:35 am
rururocks
you hopefully can join us for Lunch or dinner that week.
10:36 am
cybernan
I would love that.
10:37 am
rururocks
great.. we're going to Salt and Brick for sure.. and also that Tapas Place too. I have to imagine we'll cook a few meals at the house since all three of us are pretty good in the kitchen
10:38 am
cybernan
Never heard of Salt and Brick
10:39 am
rururocks
hah.. really? It kind of looks like one of the better restaurants in Kelowna
10:39 am
rururocks
i better get a movin'.. i have to take my hike today.. have fun with the grid.
10:41 am
cybernan
Right now I'm pretty disillusioned by our restaurants. They lost a lot of staff during covid, including chefs, who have not come back and it shows.
10:41 am

Hopefully by next summer things will be better.
