Wine - Vancouver Island Style

We just spent a week on Vancouver Island taking a break from house and petsitting. We stopped off with a good friend in the small town of Duncan, city of totems for a few days and had a great time. Then we went on to a small rustic cabin on high bank in the area called Cherry Point.

The picture above shows one of the vineyards in the area, Cherry Point Wines. Our cabin is virtually on that same shelf overlooking the ocean. Vancouver Island has a good number of wineries now, a cider press and a meadery. It has taken a while for the island to get their wine production up, but now it is there with the best of them.

One wine which is special to the area is the Blackberry Wine, a scrumptious summer berry.

We are back now in Powell River, two ferries above the mainland and will stay here until January 6th. It is beginning to feel a lot like home here. I imagine this is the place we will buy a small house. Still waiting for the prices to adjust to our liking.
