Have you heard of Road 13? It's all about the dirt!

Road 13 Honest John's Rose 2009 Okanagan BC $26.99
Road 13 is the only winery in the Okanagan with a locally born and bred winemaker. Here's the concept: Why not make a local wine that tastes like, well, a local wine..not French,  Australian or Napa Valleyian!
Their motto, “it’s all about the dirt” reflects their belief that great wines start in the vineyard. Winemaker Michael Bartier crafts award‐winning wines in three distinct tiers: a rose, and red and white blends called Honest John’s; a varietal series of red and white wines under the Road 13 label; and a premium tier of small lots and blends called Jackpot. 

Road 13 is located south of Oliver, BC on Road 13 off Highway 97. Open year round, the wine shop offers small lots and back vintages in addition to current releases.  A new private wine club tasting room overlooking the vineyard is set to open early fall 2010.

Why not go for a drive over to Oliver when you are staying at KeriGlen? They even have this dauschund there. I wonder what KeriGlen's resident dauschund Lexi would think of that?
