Native Shoes aka. “The Hipster Croc” caught my eye prior to their release when a friend of mine at a trendy Vancouver wine bar was sporting them. “What the hell are those?” I believe was the first thing I said. They appeared to be a hybrid of the contentious Crocs holey shoe and some kind [...]
Meyer Family Micro Cuvee Chardonnay
2007 Vintage Tasted: July 2010 This is without a doubt the most expensive chardonnay in the Okanagan Valley and I had to know what it ...
Lance Armstrong Nissan Leaf Commercial
While Lance Armstrong maybe behind in the 2010 Tour de France, he’s certainly ahead in many other ways, one of which would be his endorsement of the forthcoming Nissan Leaf electric car. Touted as the first affordable zero emission vehicle for the masses, the Leaf is creating a media wave. Team Radio Shack is not [...]
Nissan Leaf Preview Test Drive
This is a great video from Green Energy News showing a public advance test drive of the Nissan Leaf electric car. While the leaf may not yet be a great road trip car with a maximum drive per charge of about 100 miles, it will certainly be able to handle most people’s domestic driving for [...]
Woo Themes Inspire Theme Review
The WooThemes Inspire theme is a great WordPress theme for a product website or a corporate website. As always the WooThemes crew has created an easily customizable theme with a healthy range of options. A feature slider on the front page allows you to create custom slider content including images and video content. There is [...]
Woo Themes for WordPress Review
WordPress is without a doubt in my mind the leading content management system on the internet. It’s free, it’s super easy to use, and customization is also a breeze thanks to an extensive community of custom premium WordPress theme designers. I have sampled and tested a large number of premium WordPress themes for a wide [...]
Robert Mondavi Muscat d’Oro
2005 Vintage Tasted: July 2010 I brought this half bottle home with me from Napa when I visited the Robert Mondavi Winery a few years back. It sat around waiting for a suitable occasion, but I’m afraid to say it was a little neglected, so I just opened it. Since this is a sweeter late [...]
Stoneboat Vineyards Nebbia
2007 Vintage Tasted: July 2010 Stoneboat is fast becoming one of my favourite wineries in the Okanagan Valley. The winery itself is quaint and almost Cape Cod-esque inside the tasting room. The wines are subtle and just plain good. I want to say that Stoneboat Vineyards is the dark horse of the Black Sage Bench [...]
Laughing Stock Pinot Noir
2008 Vintage July 2010 The LFNG Pinot Noir has been a bit elusive to me in my time spent here in the Okanagan. I’ve been to the winery many times, but the sort of biannual release of their Pinot Noir is something that I have not been in tune with, so this trip to the [...]
2010 Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards
The Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for Excellence in Wine were announced a little while ago and I’m happy to see some of my favourites on the list. Painted Rock appears to be the windfall winner with two wines on the list (Red Icon and Cabernet Sauvignon), while Rob Van Westen gets a nod for his Vino [...]
Moosehead Cracked Canoe
I saw the ad on TV and almost thought it was a joke. Cracked Canoe? Really? Yes, it does exist, and it’s a slow brewed premium light lager. Premium light lager even sounds a bit oxymoronic, but there is something else going on here. Despite our constant desire for the latest and greatest, and our [...]
