How to post messages here
Traffic's been, ah, slow because I think most people don't understand how to post here.
It's easy!
When you fire up the CANWINE blog, look in the upper right-hand corner where you can sign in. Once you do that, you'll see another underscored suggestion to post a new message.
Do it!

I can't be the only person drinking CANWINE these days....
(This assumes you're already a member -- Lorne, Bob, Larry, Denny: this means you! -- but if you aren't, click the link at the left to email me and join.)

Truthfully, I do find the blogger format less intuitive than our old-fashioned mailing list. It's also less in my face. I have to actually click on a link to get here, as opposed to having an email front and centre, and no need to log in.
We're now 6 weeks retired, which has left a lot more time for wine, if not for blogging!
Last night a friend brought a bottle of 1986 Chateau Mouton Rothschild to dinner. It was nice, but not fabulous, to my palate. Thin but elegant. I actually preferred the lush, rich, robust (how many more synonyms can I come up with?) 2001 La Frenz Reserve that we opened. Interesting layers of flavours, initially strongly vanilla, and finally, intensely chocolate.
Our friend paid about $250 for that bottle; I see current prices on the web in the range of US$999. Ouch! Just last month a fellow traveller at our B&B in Naramata was complaining about the cost of BC wine!
As a retirement gift, Joan and I are going to be enrolled in the Level 1 sommelier course offered by the Vancouver Art Instute. Should be a blast! http://www.artinstitutes.edu/vancouver/culinary/
