The Grange of Prince Edward Winery, PEC

We recently visited Prince Edward County. One of the best tastings was done with winemaker, Jeff Innes at the Grange of Prince Edward. We spent three hours with Jeff and went through most of his barrel and tank samples as well as a number of finished wines!

My Camera Got Goosed

This Canada Goose has found its way to the run-off pond across from our house. As long as they stay in the pond and not on our roof, I'll be happy.

Equal Time

I posted a photo of my great niece yesterday so I thought I should post a photo of my great nephew, Matthew. Taken on Easter Sunday at the part just up from our house.

Happy Easter

I love to play around with textures. I still can't duplicate some of the wonderful merged photos one of my Flickr contacts is able to obtain but I'll keep trying.

Memories of Virginia

We had two couples over for dinner on Saturday night. One couple brought a Tarara Cabernet Sauvignon which we opened to go with Lamb Shanks. I opened up a Glen Manor Sauvignon Blanc, also from Virginia, to go with a pea soup. Both wines were a good match with the food.
