The Field Guide

Part 2: @marionettewinery, the wines I loved from #garagistefestival in Penticton yesterday, all made by Amanda and Jamie, proprietors of this Salmon Arm winery. So many other great wines at the "small guys wine fest" but these stand out for their unique place and their way of expressing it in these wines. http://ift.tt/2wWhW6P

Best find among so many delicious wines at #garagistewinefest - the small guys wine fest held in Penticton yesterday- was @marionettewinery from... Salmon Arm! The wines are beauties, from this the singular Salmon Arm winery. The next post lists what was on pour yesterday. Find them on insta, and get their wines! http://ift.tt/2xGqtI8

These are the magic days. #summerlandia trail riding up in Meadow Valley in the morning during late summer @injeneralvan @robinagur, Sylvana. Bear poop, it's tracks, and a stare down with a coyote were a few highlights today. I've got my eyes open for birds and other game (hunting season almost here!), plus some fall foraging opportunities. Van Horlick's cows spotted grazing the forest floor at the ranch too. http://ift.tt/2w9EsIo

Not sure where to begin with imparting the tips @chefmarkmcewan shared during his delish demo of his family gnocchi recipe at @chefmeetsbcgrape, but I will share this sentiment/fact in common with mine, like all true italians and chefs might say... San Marzano or Garden, nothing less. Start with these good tomatoes. Don't overcook your tomatoes. Some of his sideline tips: On cooking the gnocchi, when they (the gnocchi) are ready, they will float up and lay there for you. 😇 http://ift.tt/2xmF3VP

Favourite smiles of @chefmeetsbcgrape (if I have got to choose)- @chefmarkmcewan had a gorgeous and very candid outdoor kitchen demo of a family gnocchi recipe to share with us, and Chef @shanemchartrand on the right, who is travelling through Canada by culinary craft and cultural heritage learning and gathering First Nations / Indigenous wisdom 🦅shared Haida Gwaii sablefish and stories. Great memories both by shared flavours and through their presence :) #chefmeetsbcgrape. Thanks for bringing to the Okanagan Terroir guys. http://ift.tt/2w8xDXP

See Ya Later. I'll be here all day, at @sylranchwinery for the culmination of the @chefmeetsbcgrape weekend experience! http://ift.tt/2wyaP4P

The journey starts with sparkling, ends with late harvest. Harvest season is on and the #adventuremobile population abounds with the many French Canadian and international travellers arriving for the work of the season, picking the fruit that will be okanagan wine. I always enjoy the colour this brings to our region. And road camping ideas :D http://ift.tt/2xBMyHI

Who knows what this means? It means practice for hunting season! @johnrousseaudesign stunning handmade bows are off his masterful woodworking bench and in shooting practice now. @themarketcook, who's been thoroughly inspired to bring this both meditative and fruitful practice into her life this year had a chance to practice with these beautiful tools. I think John may be making these for special folks soon :) I'm in line for one :) http://ift.tt/2w07mZT

Elegance of the Savoy. These little cabbages remind me of childhood farm dreams, little bunnies, and red barns. The innocence of eating... believing the fairytale even while fed industrial food, then learning the truth... but then making it through, learning and believing, now truly transforming the fairytale into truth and reality with new-world farmers on the other side of the big shadow of industrial food #livethelittlethings #thelittlethingsarebig http://ift.tt/2v3C2Zf

My buddy @mattdumayne, named by @westernliving as one of BC's top 10 Foodies of the Year, doesn't just make great wine at @okcrushpad - he's distilling too. I tried the new Narrative Gin yesterday! It's a tangerine/mandarin bomb of deliciousness! I'm going to be making cocktails and recipes over at @themarketcook with it soon. Go get some. http://ift.tt/2wXiRkZ
