12x12: May

CedarCreek Winery. Visited quite a few new wineries this year; some excellent, some not very good.


Chris & Jesse outside Summerhill. Who needs wine when you have kids' toys?

This is so west coast: their wine is organic, and aged in a pyramid because they believe the sacred geometry has an effect on it. Their wines WERE delicious, so who am I to say?


Tantalus Winery & Kristina.

Went to two disappointing wineries in a row and debated skipping the last and just calling it a day, but luckily we persevered and it turned out to be one of the best.


Bench Market in Penticton.

Chris at the May cookoff (with Kristina in the background). I won, with a macadamia nut & cashew cream tiramisu. It was a lot of work but was totally worth it!

Wine tour day 2: homemade (well, hotel room-made) breakfast, lying on the grass at Church & State, feeling fancy at Le Vieux Pin, rendezvousing with Mal, Bronwen, and Lindsay for dinner, taking a beer break, being driven inside due to a rainstorm, all of us sharing old high school photos while drinking wine in the hotel room.

Went to the Old Admiral with Jeff and his friends Chris and Kristina. Unfortunately it turned out to be karaoke night.
