This weekend Jake and I took a lovely jaunt to Oliver for the weekend. While much sun and socializing was had, we spent most of the long weekend indulging in food, wine, food, and more food!

In no particular order, my weekend, as evidenced through culinary adventure:

Above: Jake, the grassland guru, indulges in a homemade picnic!

Above: Dutch pancakes, topped with fresh strawberries, maple syrup and real whipped cream. 

Above: This picture was taken mere minutes after the pies came out of the oven. My mum, founder of Sue’s Pies, baked fresh Rhubarb Custard and Apple pies.

Above: A JT Sauv Blanc - set against Tuc-el-Nuit Lake. 

Above: Jay poses with a Merry Edward Russian River Valley Sauv Blanc! We picked this bottle up on our roadtrip last summer.

Above: Some Stoneboat Pinot Gris. This is the stuff that magic is made of. Aromatic, crisp and tropical.

Above: More wine with dinner. This stuff is free flowing in the Coles house!

Above: No rhubarb pie is complete without a cold bottle of Stoneboat.

Above: Fresh Coles Family cinnamon bun loaf. I think I ate half of this.

Above: Chocolate chip cookies for the long drive back to Vancouver.
