The wine rack is filling up with half empty bottles of wine. Before I buy anymore or throw out anymore I have to find something useful to do with all this wine. I’m a bit of a jelly making fan so have spent the last few days searching online looking for a great red wine [...]

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve started thinking about what to buy all the mothers in my life. I have one friend who is a mother of four and has a penchant for wine. Rather than trying to guess what she has in her wine rack, I’m putting together a wine themed gift [...]
We’ve grown the veggies, or more likely bought them from people who know what plants need to survive. We’ve made the salad, perhaps even the salad dressing. My girls have fooled around in the kitchen, matching fennel with watermelon, carrot and grated chocolate (or something equally pretty). My neighbor has told me they’re geniuses and [...]

I love salad in the spring and summer. We go to local markets to pick up vegetables straight from farms within half an hour of our house, and even go so far as to grow a bit of green stuff in our own garden. Since I am not a big fan of processed food and [...]

The trout fishing season nears now that the ice is well and truly gone from all lakes in the vicinity of our home. He has his fishing license, now he just needs a fine day and no work commitments so that he can kiss us goodbye one afternoon and head for a trout lake.
Do I mind? [...]

We just experienced a short burst of summery weather here in the Shuswap. Though morning temperatures plunged to zero or slightly above, by three in the afternoon we were in shorts and flip flops, admiring the many signs of spring including the bright bunches of tulips and feathery cherry blossoms in our garden. Yeah! Some [...]

Unless you enjoy spending your entire day in the car, finding a hotel or inn when visiting somewhere fairly distant from home seems like a good idea. This gives you more time to relax and enjoy whatever brought you to your destination in the first place, be it golfing, hiking or wine tasting. When you travel [...]

Since the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival takes place from April 30th to May 9th, visitors from out of town may want to consider staying a while. Getting through Kelowna from the north may be enough of a trial to encourage booking a room, and I would recommend tourists don’t leave their bookings to the last [...]

Since the fall of last year, growers in the Napa Valley region have been concerned over the health of their own wine racks. You see a European moth has apparently found its way to the region and is causing major harm to grape crops. What started as an isolated incident has grown to a [...]

If wine purists out there want to turn away, now is the time. First Blush takes wine grapes and makes them into – juice and tea. That’s right. No alcohol, not unless you add some yourself. This is yet another brand of drink on the market to sell the benefits of antioxidants. Not a bad thing [...]
