Woof! Woof! This is Sparky.
My hooman and I have been exploring different places in the south Okanagan Valley in Canada and we have found some wineries that are very doggie friendly. Yesterday we visited Ruby Blues Winery at 917 Naramata Road in Penticton.
One of the owners, Prudence Ruby Mahrer (now you know where the name Ruby came from, right?) personally came out to greet me and give me a big squishy hug. Even though my hooman has known Prudence and her hubby, Beat, for twenty-five years, my hooman only got a COVID19-socially-acceptable air hug.
I got a big hug, was offered a nice dish of cool water, and was invited inside the wine shop. I really like Prudence.
We have another friend who also works at Ruby Blues Winery. Her name is Sharon Hickey and she helps customers sample the different wines and tells them things like, "Red Stiletto is an easy sipping red wine that pairs well with salmon, or lamb chops."
Well, I love salmon and lamb chops, but my hooman says I am not allowed to drink. She says the wine is for her to share with her friends. Humph! I thought I was her bestest-friend.
We met some other people at the winery who were excited to hear that I am famous, the star of the Isla Mujeres Mystery novels. Oh, and they were sort of interested to speak to my hooman who writes about my adventures. She has to do the typing because I can't use a keyboard very well. I am just a two-toed typist.
My hooman also says that if you like yummy wines that are only available from the winery you should visit Ruby Blues on the Naramata Bench in Penticton, or you can order from their website:https://www.rubyblueswinery.ca/.
Just in case you were wondering about the behind the scenes guys; Beat Mahrer creates magic by growing delicious grapes and Blair Gillingham is the talented winemaker.
My hooman bought the special deal of six bottles for $100.00 and is now entered in the monthly contest to win more wine.
Personally I think she should be entering contests to win me a piece of steak!
That's just my opinion
Woof! Woof!
