We have two of Bill Arnott's books, and really enjoyed his Holy Grail search. I will be getting this Season in the Okanagan for sure, as we have begun going during the wine festival. There's an excellent writers' festival Wine Country Writers' Festival in Penticton, which made me fall in love with the region all over again. Writing, wine, delicious food, stunning views...what's not to love?!
