Wine Tasting

I can't believe last time I updated my blog was a month ago. Anyway, I went to a wine release party with my friends tonight. It is hosted by the Naramata Bench. My friends and I went to Naramata last year and we had lots of fun. When we heard about the wineries are hosting a party, we decided to get ticket together. It was a party with food, wine and fashion show. Some of the very famous restaurants have a booth there. Eg. C, Lumiere, Cin Cin. It is not a full course meal though. Each of them served a dish of hors d'overs. There is lamb, foie gras brulée, cheese, duck pate, duck breast and even suckling pig. It is pretty yummy. And there sure is a lot of wines for tasting. I tried couple of them but didn't try it all cause I need to drive home still. I had a good pear wine from Spiller Estate. I even like it better than the Elephant Island (a winery I spent a lot of money on last year). I don't really like the red that I tried though. Usually the BC red wine has a very young red taste that I don't like. I didn't pay much attention to the fashion show. I was too busy lining up for the suckling pig then :P. We end the evening with fries and frosty from Wendy's. It was a pretty fun evening though the food went out too soon. Next time, I am definitely eating all the food before any tasting.
