3 hours of stress busters
Life’s Struggles
Wakey Wakey
This one announces itself with a big fat bouquet and a resounding wake up call to your taste buds on first swirl. All your senses are alive by the second sip.
By the 3rd sip I wouldn’t say MY senses were balanced, but I’d decided it was delicious.
Syrah was first planted by the Phillips brothers in 1982. This vineyard is just a hop, a skip and a jump from the winery, and is one of the earliest plantings of Syrah in California. With Michael’s son Kevin continuing the Phillips grape growing tradition into the 6th generation, this Syrah vineyard was one of the first he tended to as Vineyard Manager of Michael David Winery.
Our rendition spent 16 months – 64% French oak (18% new), 36% American oak (11% new).
Thank You K for bringing it to lunch.

Forgotten they’d made a movie of it
A novel for humans.
Visually the movie was well done, but what I really enjoyed about the book was the ability to go back and leaf through some of the earlier experiences. I guess if you’d recorded the movie you could do that too.
It brings out all the emotions: laugh. cry. smile. ponder. and reminisce about your own pets of the past. It make one wonder where they been before they landed in our lives.

Others by the same author (A Dog’s Journey and 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter) are just as delightful.

The scent of rain on dry earth
A perfect BC word. Petrichor describes the stone-like earthy smell associated with rain.
The estate vineyard that produces Petrichor wines is nestled in the Southern Okanagan Valley. Just like the scent released into the air when raindrops meet the ground, Petricor’s Cabernet Merlot will delight your senses.
The Cabernet Merlot is structured and has strong tasting notes of black and red fruits. It pair well with anything carnivores love: beef, lamb, and cheeses.
