Mission Hill

Here's a vineyard/winery that started about 30 years ago. 

It may not be your you idea of a vineyard, nor mine, but it still is very impressive.  I wish them much success and need to read further about how they accomplished all they've done.

Pic of the Day

Sophisticated

The woman in this screen shot from the British Columbia ad that plays during the Olympics speaks one word: "Sophisticated".

I really like that.  It's great advertising.

But there is a great deal of effort in wine making.  It is farming after all.  That's a lot of what interests me.  Sure the romance and "sophistication" is nice, but a chance to work in the dirt and grown something good is much more interesting.
