Spending time in BC…
I’m in (very hot) BC for the next couple of weeks…while my main reason to be here is to spend time with mon amour, traveling and tasting as many BC wines are next on the list.
Our travels will take us from Kamloops to Bella Coola, then to Vancouver Island – Port Hardy, Campbell River, Tofino, Qualicum Beach/Parksville, Victoria and finally back to Van city.
I’m super excited about the BC VQA store in Parksville… I’ll have to plot how to eliminate some of the luggage I’m carrying so there is extra room in my suitcase and I can pack as much of it as possible.
The first wine I tried was Prospect Winery Major Allen 2007 Merlot. The wine was seriously delish. It stood up. I can see why the 2006 vintage was award winning. In the words of the boyfriend: “Prospect wine, very yummy.”
I hope you’re enjoying everything BC has to offer! Would love to connect when you’re back in Vancouver. Cheers! Kathleen.
