I wasn’t looking for a winery. Really. My daugher says I’m obsessed with wine, but it’s not true. I do notice any reference to it, however, no matter how small. We were on our way to cross country running out of town and I still managed to see signs and arrows pointing in another direction.
When an estate provides facilities such as winery, restaurant and guest house all on-site, customers have the advantage of being just steps away from their major needs at all times. Place this establishment against fabulous scenery in the Okanagan Valley and you have Burrowing Owl Estate.

This time it’s the Edelweiss white wine from the Wilhelm Winery in Hadley, Pennsylvania. The wine [...]

Discussion of small farm co-ops arised as my beloved wine worshipping friends and I munched away on delicious homemade zucchini lasagna. Now, the zucchini was the star of the show as it prompted this dialogue involving the intricacies of joining a co-op. The essence of this operation is simple: to reap what you sow. Well, [...]

Just like you and me, there are some celebs out there who take wine very seriously. One is actor Sam Neill of New Zealand. His winery, Two Paddocks, produces Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Somehow I can’t stop myself from imagining Sam running through his vineyard while being chased by hungry velociraptors.
