H. Fripp Kelowna, BC Fri, 11 Sep 2009	I found the wines to not be so fresh, the service lady in the shop was not too good and could not answer about the awards they claim to have won that we seen on the news. Even though it has a beautiful setting, the wines were better last year that were made by the female winemaker. The color of the shop is horrible. We miss the old fella; he and his female winemaker made the visit worth the while. I would not recommend the time out to travel to this winery since under new ownership. It has lost its personality. This winery is in a class way too low for the other wines produced in the Okanagan.

Len Calgary, AB Tue, 21 Oct 2008	This out of the way winery is located in the apple orchards and has a good view. The operation is small so you get to meet the people that make it happen. Overall the owner was friendly and provided personable answers to questions. We skipped the tasting, but in hindsight we shouldn't have. The wines we purchased (Riesling & Semillon) were not as fresh and crisp as we had hoped. They were both older vintages so perhaps they had seen their better days in the past. I had heard good things in the past so get the tasting and go from there.
