More wine tasting

Mark joined us this morning. Or actually, we had to morning to ourselves, enjoying the view, the weather and the patio. And a nice slow breakfast. Mark almost found the direct way to Naramata so he enjoyed us around noon.

As soon as Mark arrived we sent him to Penticton to rent at bike and we got on our bikes and headed down town to meet him. Then we headed towards the wineries and started the tasting at a few of the places close to town. We did drive a bit up the KVR and ended late in the afternoon on Hillside Winery - the place we also visited last time.

They have an excellent garden where we could hang out and enjoy some wine in the sunshine. And then the haze came. First it was only visible in the distance but half an hour later we could smell the distinct smell of "fire place" in the air. The smoke from the Washington fires had arrived and they covered the sky. So instead of a sunny evening on our patio we had more tapas indoors. Fingers crossed the smoke will be gone by tomorrow.

Just love the view
