The Wine Islands of British Columbia

May 29th, 2009
I just returned from a fabulous little getaway that included some of my favourite things: travelling, ocean, good wine, good food, visits to wineries, walks with friends, bit of shopping, and adventure.  No, I wasn’t in the south of France, or the islands of New Zealand.  I was on Salt Spring Island, B.C.!
