It was sheer chance that my Remember This Day feature in Google Photos popped up with the photo below, just as I was driving up the lane at Casa Dea Winery (Harvest Host). It seems that nine years ago, to the day, my two friends and I were taken our very first RV trip, and stayed at this exact same winery. I had taken our dogs for a walk and got this pic of them in front of the vineyards back then, so I had to do the same with my sisters today. Sadly, they are both no longer with us (the dogs, I mean. My sisters are just fine.)
They have some very good and very different wines at Casa Dea. Along with the standards (Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir), they are the only Canadian vintner to make Pecorino, a, Italian white wine from Abruzzo that I had just discovered this year. They also make a Melon de Bourgogne, also not very common in Canada. So for the second day in a row, I bought twice the wine I had intended. Ah well.
