My mission is to further develop my tastebuds, expand my understanding of wine, beer and spirits, or find the best hotdog ever! Now I have enlisted the help of a great friend so we can cover even more!

A glass for an occassion
On a recent trip to Victoria I had the time and pleasure to enjoy the city with my son while my husband worked. Lucky for us it was great walking weather. After a bit of a late start I made it to Government Street by about 10am. I was in desperate need of nourishment and coffee as a 17 month takes a great deal of energy and it was better to be alert. Luck had certainly been on my side and by the time I found a quaint little cafe/deli/Internet cafe to meet my needs my little man was snoring. I was able to enjoy my latte without any disruptions while indulging in one of my favorite pass times, watching my son sleeping soundly. Once finished I was on to my next stop, with no clear plans I stopped in a specialty wine store and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the clerk knowledgeable and enthusiastic about wine but also due to the hour of my wine shopping (11am) had plenty of time to chit chat. It was such a pleasant shopping experience I left with a bottle of Quatrain and bottle of Compendium both from Mission Hill. I bought two for the two reasons we will have to celebrate shortly. The first will be the sale of our first place, our lovely 2 bedroom condo. The second will be the purchase of our second place a 3 bedroom condo! Maybe we will be able to upgrade to a stand up wine fridge in our new place, one can hope! When the papers are finalized we will open these fantastic bottles of wine and I'll share what I thought of them. Fingers crossed that will be soon!
