Field Notes

If there is a late summer event (scratch that - event of the year) you really shouldn't miss it's this excellent culinary evening at JoieFarm with Wolf In The Fog. Voted Canada's Best New Restaurant of 2014 by En Route magazine, its a good sign we are in store for something extraordinary from this Tofino restaurant's Chef Nick Nutting teaming up with resident Chef Benz Henrikson.

Okanagan wine 'characters', Matt Sartor, Aaron Olfert and Lee Holland form The Van Horne Trio. Last night I caught their set at The Elite in Penticton, a favourite watering hole of the cellarhanding, vineyard-tending, and winemaking crowd of the South Okanagan. 

A couple of weeks ago my dear friends Jamie Maw and Manuella Farnsworth, each as 'lovely as a peach', visited for a sunday barbeque. With us all contributing to the potluck, Manuella brought her famous peaches...a bunch of Momofukus we all were, I'll say...  

Welcome to our first post from the pocket notes from The Field Guide. While we post our featured stories in the Journal, this section - a collection of brief gathered observations and sketches of good Okanagan living - brings you quick guidance for living well in the Okanagan Country.
