OK lefties... whole portfolio of 7 wines now in left-handed bottles & you can sample in left-handed tumblers too!

2 days and 20 snowbirds later... they say we're cozy kinda reminds them of the Alta, Sask scene.
Yup cozy for sure.

Old Red, Rustico's antique 1940's Massey-Harris under 6" of the white stuff.

@weslawong ....California Quail (20?) roosting @Rusticowinery.

@weslawong Chuckwagon @Rusticowinery Oliver BC

Gonna put on my brand new, bright red, old-tyme, cozy logo'd longjohns, big grey wooly socks, etc. etc. etc. and go light the humongous bonfire for pleasure of our guests and me!

This, my friends, is a living roof up close. Desert Crust (also called Cryptobiotic Crust) on our 1895 log miners' bunkhouse

Covered wagon... at entrance to Rustico, our late 1800's Prairie Grain Wagon... this shot made Global News Hour after first dump of snow... gone now.

Doc's Buggy, 1902 Baynes Carriage (also name of our Pinot Noir)... pic taken couple of weeks ago 'cause sno's all gone now.

The Chuckwagon... few weeks ago. Today it's sunny, no snow. Maybe go for a ride on Ranger to try him out.

Perfect January morning... Corky and I loping home through the Gewurztraminer!

Now you know why we have this old-west look... how coool! and just beside our deer-fence on the mountainside!

"Corky" arrives... Merry Christmas Rustico... yet another mouth to feed. And would you believe his name?

Zin Is In. Really. See. It's really really in.... like in the bin, then in the destemmer/crusher, then in the tanks, then in the barrels, then in the bottler, then in the bottles then in your happy glass.

Right there in the midst of Merlot... the elusive humongous gewurztraminer... one bunch per bottle of Farmer's Daughter Dry Gewurztraminer. Yum.

From Rustico's Golden Mile Bench looking east over the valley to Black Sage Bench. Terroirs different... snow the same (but these plants are over 40 yrs old)

Kinda says it all.

Ahh, the elusive Farmers Daughter, the big breasted mutant grape, the giants of the Golden Mile, all about the Terroir!

Just comparing to those days I had to scrape the windshield before unplugging the car & letting it warm up 1/2 hr

We're calling this one "Last Gewurztraminer in the old cotton fields below"
