10:10 am

mkg

Ty

10:11 am

hurshy

the only one i have is a compound plural, ea8

10:11 am

mkg

I also feel the color of cheetos is bizarre……it gets all over your fingers and this makes me feel it is really toxic.

10:11 am

mkg

But then again, cheddar cheese is that color so it is probably fine.

10:12 am

hurshy

i don't think cheddar is ever quite that color

10:12 am

mkg

So send me some 8s please. Ty.

10:43 am

BzznBea

the 8's were a pain.

10:50 am

10:50 am

mkg

Oooh i think i got it.

that's great ru -- you will enjoy the lake cruise. I've never taken any of the wine tours -- always drove around and did our own tasting tour.

11:26 am

cybernan

Does the tasting tour just cover the Kelowna area, or does it take you down to the Penticton area as well?

11:27 am

cybernan

Do you have the little booklet on Okanagan Wineries? If not, send me your snail mail address and I will pick one up and send it to you.

11:28 am

rururocks

I think we're staying pretty close by .. not heading out too far. We are tasting at three wineries part of the cruise and having lunch at one of them.. I can email you the list of wineries. We're also going to dinner at that Tapas place and Salt and Brick if you'd like to join us at either restaurant.
