Wines of Canada Fall Tasting Event

What a day what an event. It started by visiting some the Okanagan's best known wineries and purchasing some of their best wines. Then we invited a few select special guests. Friends we have known for years and have enjoyed numerous fine wines from around the world together. Add in a few appetizers and start tasting the wines. It became a very successful day.
