Had a Glass

Leftover Sunday roast means beef and broccoli stir fry on Tuesday…

KISS… Keep It Simple for Summer. 🌞Sun’s out, grill’s out! 💪🏻

Summer vibes + summer comfort. Will always have a soft spot for butter chicken paired with robust, barrel ferment Chardonnay! (And why not homemade naan? 😀)

Impressive line-up for The Global Cru seminar! Ten minutes till start… @VanWineFest #VIWF

Getting funky (and introspective) with WA wine… 2020 Fumé Grosgrain, a red blend from the wildfire impacted, smoke taint vintage.

Comfort food! Pierogi + Grüner. Yum.

Ooops! Forgot this, but yesterday was all about kicking it old vine, old school miso black cod for #ThrowbackThursday

#WineWednesday Fun cellar find + simple food prep = midweek satisfaction

Tuesday night roast… well, just ‘cuz 😀

Tis the season… Tuesday night comfort. Warm up with butter chicken, spice nicely parried by local off-dry Riesling. #yum

Cellar management… came across this random bottle… turns out 10-year-old Malbec can slide into a Tuesday night smooth like a Dam-Funk track. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WjXwte…

BC by way of the Med! Almost completely local (save the olives and olive oil). Channeling sea views… Rosé the only option! $2.50 from each bottle sold of this suave single vineyard Lakeview Rosé donated in support of the BC Hospitality Foundation #bchf poplargrove.ca/product/Lakevi…

Summer #westcoast vibes.

Well, that was fun! Slightly chewy but still tender… 1st time-attempted grilled octopus salad… warrants another go (and yes, pairs nice with local Brut)!

Summer vibes! Feeling grateful to live in this little part of the world… #BCwine + #BCsalmon + @FreshRootsFarms CSA beets (two ways), potatoes, fennel, dill

It’s a braised lamb shank + Cab Franc kinda night...
