As some of you may or may not know my H.T.B is a winemaker at Pentage Winery in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. I'm extremly happy to announce the recent

award winning wines won by Pentage in the Northwest Wine Summit.

They won 3 Golds & 2 silvers. I'm so proud of my H.T.B.

I can't explain the feeling I have when Pentage wines win.

It's a really overwheming PROUD feeling to know that all the passion, determination and hard work that Adam puts into his wine always pays off in the end. It's the greatest feeling to see the happiness in his eyes and hear the excitment in his voice when he tells me what wines won.

He truly loves winemaking and everything that comes along with it.

And this shows in every sip of his "liquid art".

If you live in the Okanagan area or plan to be traveling through anytime soon, be sure to stop by the winery for a visit!

It's a beautiful place and worth a peek! if you haven't had the chance to try any Pentage wines...be sure to keep your eye out for it in your local restaurants and wine shops!

(At the winery, wine can be purchased, but not yet tasted. Pentage winery is in the process of building it's wine shop and new winemaking facility, If the gate is open, visits are more than welcome.
Be sure to come on up, and see whats new.)

Yummy...

I just LOVE when H.T.B disappears into the kitchen

and when he does, I always know something wonderful's to come...

He's a FABULOUS cook and I wanted to share a few pics of the food and wine we had over the course of the week-end...yummy carpaccio made with the fresh beef his father brought with him when he visited, capers, reduced balsamic, thyme pesto and fresh parm shards...
mmm-good!!! We paired this dish with a "Flowers" chardonnay...everything was so yummy!

... and these potatos are to die for, just look at how beautiful they are!

(6 hours to prepare...they better be fab, and they definitely were!)

Just For Fun

YAY...It's Friday

Well as you can see I don't have much to post about today, but I am happy it's Friday!
I'm super duper excited about a few new designs I've been working on and was hoping to post, but the weather is not co-operating...it's wet, cloudy and cccccccold. So the new designs will have to wait until next time. Trust me their worth the wait!

So anyway, being Friday and all, anyone for a glass of wine?
Red or White?Pick your poison...I think with dinner today's the perfect day for a nice glass of red ...red warms the soul.
I'm looking forward to the working days end, I plan to make perogie pizza for dinner...I love making new za's. One of my favorite meals...lunch or dinner, is pizza, and a great big salad!
Perogie pizza happens to be one of H.T.B's favorites (Boston Pizza) but I've never made one before and I'm winging it, so we'll see how it goes, I'll let you know.
(maybe I'll even remember to take some photos)

...and well last but not least, Dante and I had some bonding time.
Yup Dante is a boy, and I painted his nails pink :0)
What can I say? I was bored, and he doesn't know the difference.
Although he doesn't look impressed!

Have a great week-end and if you missed it, be sure to enter my new giveaway.

Peek-a-Boo Monday

H.T.B needed some help at the winery again today...so I spent the day bottling...at least it wasn't red wine like last week, and my hands are still clean :0)
So I was "forced" to take the day off of my jewelry orders and blogging...but promise to get right back into it tomorrow! I have a few orders to complete and hoping some supplies that are needed will be waiting for me in the mailbox in the morning!
Be sure to join us tomorrow for "Tuesdays Treasures" and stellar Etsy finds!
Have a great evening and hope to see you tomorrow.
