Eveleen Jaager Roy Book Signing
Author Evaleen Jaager Roy spent the afternoon at the BC Wine Information Centre on Saturday, July 30 signing copies of her first book, Four Chefs One Garden. The book is divided into four parts with a section dedicated to each season. Packed with stunning photographs throughout, each section deals with the seasonal elements of gardens, living slowly and seasonal cooking. It is a refreshing take on how our food and life reflect the cycles of the seasons.
Vibrant Vines Tasting
Tony, from The Vibrant Vine (aka Okanagan Villa Estates) in Kelowna treated our guests to a special tasting of wines from his collection. On the table were The Vibrant Vine White (85% Gewurztraminer, 15% Pinot Blanc), Chardonnay and Riesling. The belle of the ball was the Chardonnay 2009, which many people (some of whom said that they don’t normally like chardonnay) really enjoyed!
