"Baby Duck" - All Grown Up!

Baby Duck was and still is one of the best known Andres wines from the early years. This duck was at the Andrew Peller Limited 50th anniversary celebrations. Baby Duck was available to try but we opted to pass as we remember what Baby Duck was like!

Not Too Exciting.

GreenLane Estate Winery is holding a photo contest on Facebook this week. I left it to the last week to sign up, unfortunately. First of all, there's not too much exciting to photograph at GreenLane. I was hoping for a nice sunset shot from the vineyard but the weather did not cooperate! Maybe next year!
