Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer. -Mignon McLaughlin, journalist and author (1913-1983)

Kid Chelene, Beckster and The Golden Gate!

Michele Darrow-Sutherland We are now opening another Matt's Select from your wine cellar David's and Nancy. Hope it compares to the Benova that they are serving

Patrick James Dunn Fine! You'll be happy to know that we are being coddled, spoilt and more than indulged at The Naramata with Lynne and Peter, appetizers, after we arrived, on the patio overlooking the lake, Goils sipping a Blanc de Noir from Poplar Grove while the Lads had a selection of Bowmore, Lagavaullin and then the high octane Amrut, 61.9%! Dinner was a butterflied leg of lamb on the bbq, skewered spuds and Greek salad, all washed down with a Burrowing Owl Cabbage, 2007, followed by a Fairview Cellars, 2007 Cabbage Premier Series, 14.5%, followed by fresh peaches, grown on the property, garnished with raspberries and followed by a bottle of Oremus Szamorodni, 2008, Botrytis Miraculum, Tokaji, Peter carried back from Hungary this past May/June. After breakfast we will head into Penticton for the Farmer's Market and then uninterrupted wine-tasting! Fine!!! Fondestos to one and all from Coriandre, The Naramatians and Patrizzio!!!  I am leaving New West momentarily to head for Penticton. I will confer with the powers that be and get back to you. Hi Zircon! Trust that your road trip is going well. We arrived here yesterday to stay with Barb/Lynn, a couple we met in Mexico in 2011. Will be leaving later this morning to head to Naramata for two nights, returning to Vancouver on Sunday morning. Just wondering if you and Jan, or some combination of same, might be interested in trying to arrange to meet somewhere along the line, for a meal or a coffee for a visit, brief or otherwise. Not sure what your time constraints, relative to the Triathalaon, will be but we are relatively free and flexible. Will probably do a bit of wineasting as time/inclination allow. Anyway, let us know what you think and we'll plan accordingly. Ring us on Cora Lee's cell. Cheers, Patrizzio!
