[Winery Restaurants]

We got back from the Naramata recently...

The best meal I had actually wasn't at a winery restaurant but instead was a result of collecting stuff from different places:

- Pick up a pie and bread at ... [edit] Just Pies! This is a house in penticton with a little bakery in the back. Amazing pie and great bread! For those interested (609 Vedette Drive Penticton BC, 490-3341)

- Bought some cheese at Poplar Grove Winery

- Bought some crabapple dessert wine at Elephant Island

- Apples/cherry tomatoes/tzatziki from the farmers market in Penticton

- Wine Slurpy from Kettle Valley (yes you read right - Gwertz slurpy!)

So good! The crabapple and blue cheese made for an amazing combination. We also got a lighter bie-like cheese (some kind of harvest moon) which was mild and tastey with the olive loaf, BUT the falvours just jumped out when eaten with apple.

I heard hillside estates has phenominal food but the wine is ok. Anyone tried staying at the new winery - Therapy? I bought some Therapy, it's for my own good.

[Who's your favorite Vancouver Chef]

My favourite Chef(s) in Vancouver are the team of anonymous ( to me anyway ) cooks that inhabit the kitchens of Gyoza King.

I totally agree. Especially the chef who makes the "ebi mayo" oh my lord I could eat 100 of those things.

Speaking of Ebi Mayo, Shiro Bay makes a pretty mean one too but i have to admit that Gyoza King reigns supreme.

Gyoza King also makes a mean Chicken Karaage (boneless).

mmm.

[Nude Nu News]

Just to clarify, I was talking about Watermark, not Nu (which is also a great name). I doubt Mr. Kambolis could mess anything up.

I'm going to Nu this Wednesday I am really hoping it doesn't fall into the category of "we're on the water so we can get away with <insert item here> "

Where <items> are

- Inflated prices

- Expensive Drinks

- Average, uninspired food

- bad service

I'll update when I get back.

(yay my first post!)
