Kayaking in Burlington Bay yesterday. Pleasant relaxing experience, and a super way to keep in shape.

Bri and Lid enjoyed a good long paddling session, then Addy and I went out. Good times. The weather was perfect. 26 degrees C, and winds of about 10 km/h.

Goin kayaking today. Looking forward to it.

The Lady & I dine out tonight in the most authentic of Italian Canadian restaurants...

Hers: Linguini w seas scallops, tiger shrimp, local fresh asparagus, sherry cream sauce drizzled with white truffel oil. Baroness says "best she's ever had."

His: Chicken penne with snow peas at the Whistle Stop. Clara, Steve & Mamma delight us with a delicious meal & engaging conversation. Viewpointe Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with both.

We started off with Viewpointe Syrah (Reserve) 2007 before the meal.

Ca' De Riva Valpolicella Ripasso 2007. A mature tasting wine that seems it should be more costly; a dark beauty that shows off a robust bouquet & flavours of black cherry, spices, vanilla, dark chocolate & dried fruit. Additional nuances of smoke, leather

Ca' De Riva Valpolicella Ripasso 2007. A mature tasting wine that seems it should be more costly; a dark beauty that shows off a robust bouquet & flavours of black cherry, spices, vanilla, dark chocolate & dried fruit. Additional nuances of smoke, leather & red fruit. Long lingering finish. I enjoyed it following a meal of organic burgers and salad. Great with the food, stellar as a sipping wine. A big affordable vino from Veneto.

Straight from the farmers' market into the pantry

Eggs, granola, asparagus (cut today), blueberry honey.

Chateau Desmirail, Margaux. Excellent value for great Bordeaux.

P159

The 2009 is a dark beauty with mature dark fruit, berries, cedar and cassis. Floral notes and complex nuances on the lingering and robust finish. Trust me, this is a very good Bordeaux.

Both the Viewpointe 2005 Cabernet Merlot and the '05 Cabernet Franc are amazing. Down to the last few cases. Now's the time to get them.

These fine wines from Viewpointe will cellar very well. But oh my, do they ever taste good now! About $17 directly from the winery.
