I had wanted to pick up a bottle of Note Bene from Black Hills Winery but was told by the friendly staff that when 3,000 cases were released in April they sold out in 40 minutes. It would have been a nice gift to myself but instead I put my name on a list for the next release.
Lunch was at the Burrowing Owl Winery look at all those grapevines!!!!!!!
with a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Beautiful pictures. I'd love to go to the Okanagan some day.
ReplyDeleteYou are after my heart, yes a birthday should last at least a week. Ending in 0, maybe a month is more appropriate especially when you pass 50.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day!
Oh my, look at this. Couple days of celebration. I envy you. Nice pictures. That bakery looks so good.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-Day Val - if this is celebrating a birthday, we should all have one every day. Well, maybe not - then it wouldn't feel so special. Gorgeous view - it would be hard to leave.
ReplyDeleteI want to live in that last photo

ReplyDeleteit makes me very happy and i feel completely humbled when people thank me for the posts i write. i cook for the family, and there's always a funny story to tell with a food theme. cretans don't eat to live, they live to eat!
