Our Weekend Part I

Saturday evening Hubby and I went to a wine tasting at Samson Winery. Our friend Scott invited us to the tasting, and Shawn and Jannette invited us to their house for an after party. It was intergenerational(Ad's made up word) as Adelene told us. A common denominator was Adelene. She had been everyone's high school teacher except Hubby. He's not from these parts.


I took this photo through the window, I went back for my camera and everyone was listening so carefully I had to take the shot.
Our teacher on Saturday was Dhar, one of Sam's sons. I learned a lot. Sorry Ad, but I think I prefer studying Wine Tasting over Spanish or English classes.

Our host Scott and his class mate, Heather. I think they learned more on Saturday night than they did in high school.

Duane was my classmate, Kay is Scott's sister, my Hubby and Scott, who is reacting to some smart comment made by Hubby.

This spoonful of crazy goodness made me want to weep a little. The chocolate with hazelnuts, sea salt and olive oil served with Samson's Oro was perfection. Oro is Samson's dessert wine made from locally grown hazelnuts.

Shawn and Jannette invited us to their place for the afters party. They could teach the class on Hospitality, wonderful hosts! Delicious food presented beautifully and a cozy home made for a perfect finish for our evening.

Jannette baked a beautiful cappuccino cheesecake for dessert, oh and almond tarts and Nanaimo Bars. For my next class I think I'd like a cheesecake class from Jannette.
We felt so blessed and spoiled the entire evening. Good friends, food, wine and lots of laughs. And yes, the Eat Less, Move More went out the window. It was worth it!
