Hi everyone…if you’re looking for my wife Ramona’s Lasagna Project blog, click here.  She promises she’ll write again soon!  After all, a new month means a new lasagna….

The Kiwi Squeeze

Img_1333 Last weekend I attended the Kiwi Squeeze at Marley Farms on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island.  The folks there make grape wines and fruit wines, and are becoming well-known for their kiwi wines and vinegars.  I also tasted a Kiwi Solera, an aged sherry-style beverage that is just now coming out of the barrels after two years of aging.  Delicious.

Beverley Marley is the family matriarch.  She grew up in Jamaica…her husband is the first cousin-once removed of the late, great musician Bob Marley!  Here’s Beverley with her grandson, whom she claims has the famous Marley profile!
