Hi Flexers, On our way back from Calgary we stopped to visit friends in Kelowna and went wine tasting at several vineyards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okanagan_Valley_(wine) BC wine has come a long way from my teenage years more than 50 years ago when "Kelowna Red" was a sure recipe for a hangover the next day. Most of the best wine is produced in small vineyards without sufficient volume to be sold through the BC liquor stores so you need to go to the tasting rooms to taste and to buy. Here we are tasting in the Meyer's Family tasting room: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/YCPCHCw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/bq2do5k Here is the aptly named Blue Mountain Vineyard. It was surrounded by an electric fence and in my quest for a good picture I inadvertently touched the fence and the trip wire. The jolt stopped my standard heart arrhythmia on contact and did no harm to the camera, the Fuji X Pro 1. I only saw the yellow electrified danger signs afterwards so intent was I on the photo. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/BluMtnVinyardW.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/95udvrz And within walking distance of our friends' house is the Mission Hill winery and vineyards - one of BC's biggest and sold everywhere because of the large volume produced. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/MissionHillW.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/d5v8djc We carried three cases in the car back to Pender - two for immediate drinking and one for putting down for a few years.
