A Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind Do alien encounters happen strictly in other countries, or only on the History Channel?

The fact is that occurrences have been documented in all countries, spread across all cultural belief systems. Religious paintings, tribal stories and etched drawings indicate that alien communication has been happening on this world since before we have had skill to draw them, or even the words to describe them.

These depictions show a hidden history of the human world.

In modern times, local newspapers have reported on mass sightings with photographic evidence.

There are people who have done

much to discredit these experiences by claiming pranks or debasing testimony, yet far too many established encounters exist to think that swamp gas, weather balMark Clavelle loons, mass hysteria, or pranksters could account for this widespread phenomena.

My encounter was of the fifth kind: An event that involves direct communication between aliens and humans through conscious communication.

My encounter happened while I was living in rural Saskatchewan, and took about three hours. The experience was so profound that I wrote it down right away so that I would not negate anything or misrepresent any details. The more I looked at the details of this experience, the more I found that a subtle intelligence was directing me through this encounter.

Originally, I wrote this story out for myself, yet, as I looked at the details, it became clear that an actual story was emerging. If this story was simply about my own private experience, I would not have published it. But what emerged looked to be an

By the time I was 21, I was a walking time bomb. ­— Jorgina Sunn

s ta r t i n g a g a i n

Gaining experience the hard way, survivor gives back

By Sean Trembath Jorgina Sunn is not proud of a lot of the things she did in her younger years, but she doesn’t pretend they never happened.

“By the time I was 21, I was a walking time bomb. I did all the things to maintain my addiction. I sold my body. I sold drugs. My life could have

ended many times, but you’re not thinking about that when you’re in it,” she says.

After years of crime and addiction, Sunn made the choice to change. Now, with three years of sobriety and a flourishing speaking career, she uses her experiences to help others who are trying to get off those same troubled paths.

She has travelled the province from Regina to La Loche sharing her story, taken part in a call for a provincial poverty action plan and counselled young people struggling with poverty, addictions and gang connections.

Her work has earned the respect of her peers, and recently national recognition in the form of an Ab-

original Order of Canada from the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples.

Despite what she has accomplished, she still considers herself a work in progress.

Every day is a journey of self-improvement.

“You can’t transmit anything you don’t have. That’s why I keep working on myself,” she says.

■ ■ ■ Sunn grew up in Alberta. She spent her first four years in several foster homes, an experience she says influenced some of her later troubles.

“There were lots of different abuses in those homes. Just really unhealthy, dysfunctional environments,” she says.

Things improved at age four when she was adopted by a family from Canmore. She spent her youth hiking, skiing and learning the piano.

Despite a relatively stable home environment, she had a lot of negative experiences during the time. As one of just eight aboriginal students at her school, Sunn says she experienced constant racism and bullying.

By age 10 she started to rebel, staying out late and smoking cigarettes. At 16 she started drinking and getting high. She had her first run-in with the law when she stole her parents’ vehicle and was caught driving without a licence.

She dropped out of Grade 12 and moved to Calgary, where she got into more serious problems. She joined a gang, got addicted to crack cocaine and started selling drugs. She spent time living on the street.

Her first big reality check came from the law. Sunn was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to spend six months in a healing lodge. Although incarceration was a generally negative experience, it was there she got her first real exposure to her First Nations heritage.

Growing up off-reserve, Sunn never learned about her cultural heritage. Programming at the lodge introduced her to things she didn’t realize she needed.

“I think it had always called to me,” she says.

Still, she was hesitant. She felt like an out-

sider, even among those who shared her heritage.

“My fear had always been about asking questions, not knowing enough, being judged by other First Nations people because I didn’t understand,” Sunn says.

After her release in 2006 she came to Saskatoon.

“I picked Saskatoon because I didn’t have any connections here. I wanted a fresh start,” she says.

She tried to get on a better path, but had trouble committing.

“It was rather intimidating to me, the idea of being quote-unquote healthy,” she says.

Sunn started using drugs again. Before long, she found herself back in Calgary, back on the street. It was during this second stint that Sunn started finding the conviction to make a real change.

“There was a certain what I called ‘freedom.’ I didn’t have to pay bills. But at the end of many nights, standing in minus-30 weather with nowhere to go, it starts to hit you that you don’t want to do this any more,” she says.

She began to wonder about the inevitable end of her lifestyle.

“I started seeing people many years older than me, knowing they were never going to get out of that life,” Sunn says.

With the help of her brother, she got on a bus back to Saskatoon. It was here she became fully involved with Str8-Up, an organization she credits with saving her life.

She was sick and tired of being in jail, making promises to people and not following through, always seeing the same people, those kinds of things. — Stan Tuinukuafe

Str8-Up’s mandate is to help people get out of gangs and criminal lifestyles.

Stan Tuinukuafe, an outreach worker with the organization, remembers when Sunn first came in.

“She was sick and tired of being in jail, making promises to people and not following through, always seeing the same people, those kinds of things,” he says.

Tuinukuafe recognized in Sunn a genuine desire for change.

“She had the drive in her. There’s moments where she relapsed, but she always picked herself up and continued to move forward,” he says.

To this day, Sunn is extremely grateful of Tuinukuafe.

“He’s one of my greatest heroes and mentors. How he navigates his life is how I want to navigate my own life,” she says.

He and the other members of Str8-Up gave Sunn the support she had never found elsewhere.

“They sat with me and listened to me for hours. They let me cry, they let me scream. Even when I was wrong about my anger, they would let me have it,” she says. “I began to put things in perspective. There was lots of things I was able to let go.”

She got sober, found a place to live and started working. Kim Beaudin (left) and Stan Tuinukuafe were two big influences for Jorgina Sunn to turn her life around.

Meanwhile, as she continued to work on herself, she started LEFT PHOTO BY GORD WALDNER, RIGHT PHOTO FROM STR8-UP.CA taking a more senior role with Str8-Up. She would take part in presentations in communities around the province, telling her story.

“It was a very daunting and scary experience at first, because of my shame for where I was at and my shame for the things I had done in my life,” Sunn says.

But she was a natural. Articulate and comfortable in front of crowds, Sunn was a boon to the organization, according to Tuinukuafe.

“I’m not going to say Str8-Up gave her a voice. I think Str8Up gave her the confidence to speak out,” he says.

Meanwhile, Sunn started helping out with other people coming to Str8-Up, trying to make the same improvements she had. Having lived through her own dark times, Sunn found she was able to talk to the members without sugarcoating things.

She recounts seeing a young woman screaming and crying, just as Sunn had years earlier. Sunn worked with the woman, walking alongside her as she reached three months of sobriety, then six months, then a year. Being on the other side of the experience was a revelation.

“It’s the most rewarding experience, watching someone transform their life. There’s nothing quite like it,” Sunn says.

Alex Munoz, Str8-Up’s executive director, says Sunn thrives in her senior role with the organization.

“She role models what it means to be healthy,” Munoz says.

The concept of a healthy environment is central to what Str8 Up does, Munoz says. It’s all about getting out of an unhealthy spot and finding something better.

“She has done that perfectly over the last three and a half years. She’s worked on herself, and she’s extended that outward to her community,” he says.

The adversity Sunn had to face is what makes her such an effective helper for others, according to Kim Beaudin, anJorgina Sunn with Str8-Up executive director Alex Munoz. QC PHOTO BY GREG PENDER other staff member at Str8-Up.

We need to get back to healing the family unit, and creating safe places where people can detox, or get over their abandonment issues. — Sunn

“For someone to rise up, overcome all the obstacles and barriers she has, and take her life in a totally opposite, positive direction is inspiring to people. That was the key,” Beaudin says.

Meanwhile, Sunn was working on some things outside of Str8-Up. Having learned piano as a child, she started writing songs that went along with her life story. As she travelled the province speaking, she played her music and found people connected to it.

After an appearance on a Shaw music program, she got connected with Earl Pereira, the Juno-nominated co-founder of Wide Mouth Mason and the Steadies. The two of them are recording Sunn’s first album, scheduled for release in May. Sunn says she isn’t expecting riches and fame from her music, but hopes more people can connect with her story and possibly follow her lead.

“As an indigenous person playing piano and writing pop music, I really hope it will help create a pathway for other artists,” she says.

Another avenue for sharing her story came through involvement with Poverty Costs, a campaign by a coalition of anti-poverty organizations calling for a comprehensive plan to tackle the issue in Saskatchewan.

Sunn spoke at an event launching the campaign, and also shared her story with some of the organizers. She says it is important for such organizations to include the voices of people like her in order to formulate effective strategies.

“You need the people who have lived through it to share their experiences,” she says.

Saskatchewan has a long way to go in the fight against poverty and the misery it creates, according to Sunn.

“We need to get back to healing the family unit, and creating safe places where people can detox, or get over their abandonment issues,” she says.

All of Sunn’s positive endeavours contributed to Beaudin’s decision to nominate her for the Aboriginal Order of Canada. Beaudin is a delegate to the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, a Canadian organization that represents Metis, off-reserve and non-treaty aboriginal people.

“I just believe her contributions to the community were really positive. I just thought she deserved it,” Beaudin says.

In September, Beaudin and Sunn travelled to Ottawa, where Beaudin made his case for why Sunn deserved the honour. The board unanimously agreed.

“I was completely baffled and blown away,” Sunn says of the honour.

Tuinukuafe, who has seen Sunn go from

those first meetings at Str8-Up to her current position as a mentor for others, says the award is a great honour for both Sunn and the organization.

“It validates the journey for her, and for other Str8-Up members,” he says.

At the same time, Sunn doesn’t consider her journey over. The upcoming album represents

a whole new challenge. On top of that, she is working toward going to law school, where she hopes her firsthand knowledge of the criminal justice system will allow her to effectively help others.

She will continue to tell her story in a multitude of venues, and use her position at Str8Up to positively influence those who need a

helping hand. Having got one herself, she loves nothing more than to pay it forward, and see someone else on the path toward health and stability.

“If I had some small part of that, that’s a gift worth more than millions of dollars.” strembath@thestarphoenix.com twitter.com/strembath

Singer-songwriter Vaero holds tight to her heritage

By Ashley Martin Veronique Poulin was raised on French fiddle tunes.

Growing up in Zenon Park, about 260 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, her grandfather was a folk singer-songwriter. Henri Poulin could rouse a crowd with jigs and reels.

“I think any Fransaskois person that still lives their culture has heard of him or has a story of him ... on a table somewhere singing some songs or just getting a whole bunch of people riled up dancing,” said Poulin, known as Vaero on stage.

Her grandfather was the one who taught her to have fun with music.

Even at the end of his life, strokes having stolen his speech and Alzheimer’s having robbed him of memories, there was one thing Henri never forgot.

“He was always able to hum a tune,” said Poulin.

When his grandchildren would play for him, “He’d have tears in his eyes and he would try to sing back with us, but all you could hear was the melody ... He never lost touch of his musical side.

“That just goes to show how important music is, when all else fails ... Music is that sixth sense I think.”

Poulin, who is also one-third of Saskatoon band the Young Benjamins, was seven when she started playing piano. By 11, she’d picked up the violin and joined three of her brothers in a fiddle quartet to play community functions. At 15, she first tried her hand at songwriting.

Music is a way for Poulin to express herself — her melodies often reflect “the emotion I’m feeling at the time.”

And her lyrics reflect her Fransaskois heritage. More often than not, Poulin writes in her first language.

Growing up, she spoke French at school, at home and in the community.

When people would speak English to her parents, “I’d be like, ‘Who is that weird person? That’s strange,’ ”

Veronique Poulin’s grandfather taught her to have fun with music.

she said with a laugh.

Though she started learning English in Grade 1, in Zenon Park “we were kind of a bit of a bubble,” said Poulin.

“When I was younger, I just always thought that everyone had that kind of (francophone) experience.”

In high school she realized that wasn’t so.

Unlike her parents’ generation, she didn’t have to fight to keep her language. But when she moved to Regina to study music education in university, she became conscious of the effort required to maintain her culture: She felt her French slipping

PHOTO BY ALAN YUEN/INSOMNIAK MEDIA

away due to lack of practice.

“That’s when the Fransaskois community really became a lot more real for me ... to keep that cultural part of me,” said Poulin.

“It’s just about being true to myself and working as much as I can on being who I want to be ... and I think language has a huge part in that, in helping you to be yourself and to express yourself.”

To share the love, Poulin works with Fransaskois cultural organizations and works in French immersion classrooms as an educational assistant. She serves as artistic director of the francophone pavilion at

Saskatoon’s cultural FolkFest. She’s also a part-time music teacher.

“That’s kind of my way of giving back.”

Poulin is working on her second album, an EP she’ll record in Montreal, all in French (barring one bilingual song). After that, she’s planning an English album.

Expect a “melancholic, minimal, but very melodic” sound. Poulin describes her genre as “atmospheric folk,” and has become more comfortable with her sound since her last EP in 2010.

Looping pedals help her orchestrate her own solo symphony,

“stretching melodies and having these slow tempos I can play with,” said Poulin. “Now I’m thinking more about textures and tones and harmonies and kind of putting (listeners) in a space where they’re able to relax and just listen instead of party.”

But playing her fiddle, her roots are never far away.

Catch Vaero in Prince Albert with the Benoit Paradis Trio on Oct. 30, 8 p.m., at Wesley United Church; in Regina Oct. 31, 8 p.m., at Carrefour des Plaines, again with the Benoit Paradis Trio; and in Saskatoon Nov. 6, 10 p.m., at Amigos Cantina with Twin River.

ASK ELLIE

Nothing ‘wrong’ if granddaughter has few friends Q: My granddaughter’s a sweet, lovely, girl, and almost 17. She’s never developed friends, not even one at school. It’s always been a lonely, painful thing.

She’s a good student but has to eat alone and hang out by herself. She comes home and cries her eyes out.

There are no extra curricular activities at her school at lunch time or af after school, thanks to budget cuts, nor is there a guidance counsellor. Her only salvation is musical theatre at her high school.

She dresses very appropriately and is clean. She just seems to miss the “making friends” gene. Outside of school they’re a very sports-minded family so she’s played soccer, learned piano, skied, been in swimming classes, brownies, etc., but has only one friend. They’re not very close.

I’ve thought of counselling, but don’t want to add another possibility that she’d feel there’s something “wrong” with her. Her confidence is already so low.

With family, she’s affectionate

and happy, but tends to be a bit withdrawn — i.e. reading, looking at her phone (nothing inappropriate). Any suggestions?

Concerned Grandmother A: She’s at an age and stage when everything in her social world could soon change — the possibilities of higher education bringing her in contact with new people.

Some of them may be more likeminded than her high school community (teenagers tend to judge harshly). Also, with all the activities she’s done, she may find sports, music, or reading clubs where she’ll make friends.

Meanwhile, encourage her about who she is — her warmth in the family, her music interest, her capabilities, etc. Confidence-boosting is part of the answer to her sociability. She doesn’t have to have lots of friends ... but she needs to feel good about herself.

Volunteering with children might be a stimulus to honing her ability to make contact, say, with children who have special needs through disabilities. It’s worth suggesting if you find

Ask Ellie

a program, but don’t push it. She has to show interest.

Also, let her lead your approach.

If she’s crying about not having friends, then it’d be OK for you or her parents to gently ask if she would like to talk to a counsellor ... so long as it’s clear it’s a learning experience regarding social skills, not a “fix-it.”

She’s a good student, does have one friend, participates in many activities, is otherwise happy ... there’s nothing “wrong” with her.

FEEDBACK: Regarding children and reading: Reader: “Both my kids are in their twenties and are avid readers. I did a few other things in addition to what

CHEER CARD... TAKE IT TO THE GAME

your other readers outlined.

“Books were made to be special.

They were treated with great care.

To borrow books rather than buy them was not considered. In our house we always had books.

“When the children were young, I’d go to garage sales and buy children’s books for between $0.25 and $1.

“We had, at one point, 250 books that the kids called their library.

“I also told them that if there was a special book that they wanted, I’d buy it for them.

“I taught both my children to read at night time. Admittedly, I taught them how to read forward, backwards, (it’s great for practising decoding words) and upside down, which I considered as a useful skill in later life to read memos on your boss’ desk.

“I figured that for a maximum expenditure of $250 over a number of years, I created lifetime readers.”

The Book Collector

who’s disappointed and bitter from her past dating experience: Reader: “You said that getting past her old unhappy stories could release bitterness and bring optimism about her future.

“It made me realize what my old stories are, and the main issue that I grew up with, which is low selfesteem.

“I’m now applying your suggestion to my daily life, and advocating for myself, while supporting my spouse and children.

“I’m setting a better example/being a better, active role model, by doing for me. For years previous, I’ve focused on doing for others at a cost to myself, resulting in bitterness or quiet resignation.

“I’m also not taking on others’ issues, unless it’s within my family and I’m asked to “listen” to an issue.

“I realized that, like that woman who wrote you, we all have work to do and we’ll each be better if we do it.”

Self-esteem Improving ELLIE: Never too late.

ZOMBIE PROMENADE

Zombie enthusiasts were out in full force Oct. 15 for the debut Zombie Promenade at the RCMP Heritage Centre. While zombie attire was encouraged, it wasn’t mandatory. And prior archery experience wasn’t required for the zombie shoot, which featured zombie targets. The event featured live entertainment and apocalypse-themed games. Jeffery Straker entertained the audience with his piano-based musical style. And a youth choir treated the crowd to a flash mob experience.

Games included a matching game, where participants had to match pictures from different eras with horror movies. Proceeds from the Zombie Promenade will support the RCMP Heritage Centre. The event also raised donations for the Regina Food Bank.

recipe

Not too early for gingerbread cake

By Renee Kohlman “At its point of perfection, an apple shouts, a pear whispers.” —Nigel Slater I don’t need to tell you what’s happening in two months. If you’ve poked your head into any retail outlet, harmlessly looking for boots or pillows or cat litter, you’ve seen the signs for Christmas 2015. In the olden days, you wouldn’t see such stuff until after Halloween, but it seems like every year the goods are coming out quicker and quicker. Some of you may have already started (or finished) your shopping, to which I give you a high five. I’m not, nor will ever be, one of those people. Most days I’m lucky if my to-do list gets crossed off, and then I reward myself with tea and cake. Fair deal.

Do you think it is too early to talk gingerbread? Heck, no. Images of cake are a constant in my brain, and this one in particular has been taking up residency lately. Upsidedown pear gingerbread cake is one of my all-time faves — quite simple in preparation and if I tell you it’s low fat, will you believe me? OK fine.

It’s not super duper low fat, but there is apple sauce in it, which busts out some of the butter. This cake has everything you want your gingerbread to be — spicy, tender, not too sweet and it smells like Christmas.

I adore pears. Their subtle sweetness and floral fragrance make them one of my favourite fruits to eat out of hand and to bake with. The pears in this recipe get the caramelization treatment and lend an air of sophistication to an already awesome cake. Bits of candied ginger add a little fire to the pears as they bubble away in the oven with the butter and sugar. A simple gingerbread batter is poured over top. Smooth it out, bake it off.

I love baking cakes in my wellseasoned cast iron skillet. The heat is evenly distributed and you can’t go wrong with the rustic appeal. If you don’t have a skillet you can still

Pear are sliced and spread on the gingerbread cake.

bake the cake in a regular cake pan — never fear. Carefully (remember, this is a hot skillet and hot cake) invert onto a pretty platter just a little bit larger than the skillet. Dish out slices of this gingerbread while it’s still warm, and top it with good vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream.

Whether served at the holidays or on a chilly weeknight with a mug of tea, it’s sure to bring you comfort and joy.

Upside-Down Pear Gingerbread Cake Topping: >1/3 cup butter >2/3 cup packed brown sugar >3 ripe pears (I used Bartlett) peeled and cored, each pear cut into 8 slices, for 24 slices total. >2 tbsp candied ginger, diced small Cake: >1/4 cup butter, softened >1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Ice cream or whipped cream tops a pear gingerbread cake. Photos by Renee Kohlman

>2 large eggs >1 cup unsweetened applesauce >1/2 cup molasses >1 1/2 cups all purpose flour >1 1/2 tsp ground ginger >1 tsp baking powder >1 tsp baking soda >1 tsp ground cinnamon >1/2 tsp ground cloves >1/4 tsp salt

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 F. In the bottom of a nine-inch oven-

proof skillet melt the butter and stir in brown sugar until smooth or pour melted butter into the bottom of a nine-inch round baking pan, stir in the brown sugar. Off the heat, arrange pears on top of the butter/ brown sugar in a pretty circle. Sprinkle the crystallized ginger on top. Set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar.

Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Stir in the applesauce and molasses.

In a separate bowl, combine dry

ingredients and stir into molasses mixture, until smooth. Pour batter over pears, smooth top and bake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Run a knife around the edges and carefully invert onto serving platter. Do this as soon as cake comes out of oven.

Let it hang out for a minute or two, so all of the topping comes out. If any pears remain in pan, simply press them into cake. Serve warm with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream. Serves eight.

'EMERALD ISLE' TOUR

A gardener’s impressions of Ireland

By Sara Williams Late last month saw me and a group of like-minded gardeners touring through Ireland. Whether arriving by air or driving through the countryside, we were, like most visitors, immediately struck by the greenness. It is, after all, the “Emerald Isle.”

Locals told us that they had had “no summer — just rain and cloudy periods.” Fortunately we picked a great time to visit: Beautiful weather with mostly sunny skies and only two days of intermittent showers.

In general, Ireland’s mild climate is influenced by the Gulf Stream and hard frosts are infrequent.

The gardens we viewed were surprisingly full of colour for the time of year — annuals, bulbs, perennials, flowering shrubs and just the faint beginnings of autumn shades. Many of the plants are familiar to prairie gardeners, others less so. The site of a Scots pine in close proximity to a tropical palm or tree fern was a bit disconcerting, but we got used to it.

Of the shrubs, the most spectacular were the hydrangeas and fuchsias. Both were enormous by our standards — up to six feet tall by eight feet wide. The hydrangeas were in glorious shades of white, pink, blue and deep red, often with a two-toned effect comprised of recent and older blooms. A blue “lacecap” type hydrangea was among my favourites.

In Canada, our prevailing image of a fuchsia is of cascading branches and masses of multicolour blooms in hanging baskets — a type developed by plant breeders in California and the Netherlands. Not so in Ireland.

First introduced from Chile over a century ago, Fuchsia megellanica is a shrub planted in the hedgerows of western Ireland and in full bloom well into the fall. While pollinated by hummingbirds in South America, in Ireland, insects do the job. Fuchsias long ago escaped from the hedgerows and are seen along roads and paths.

Also in evidence in the hedgerows

were rose hips, red hawthorn berries (Crataegus monogyna) and the dark blue “sloes” of black thorn (Prunus spinosa) used to flavour sloe gin.

Japanese maples, sumac and chestnuts were beginning to colour the autumn with their fall reds, oranges and yellows. And we saw many ginkgos, one of my late colleague, Brian Baldwin’s, favourite trees. Roses were blooming in almost every garden we visited.

The brilliant orange montbretia (Crocosmia x crocosmiflora) was in flower in many of the gardens, from the walled garden of the large formal Powerscourt estate to small cottage gardens. Considered a tender “summer bulb” (actually a corm) in Saskatchewan, it has naturalized widely throughout Ireland and is a familiar sight along country lanes and waterways, blooming from July through September. A monocot related to gladiola and crocus, monbretia is a hybrid of two South African species.

Other late blooming perennials were Heliopsis (false sunflower), catnip, sedums, a variety of ornamental grasses, yarrow, tansy, goldenrod, absolutely enormous clumps of Joe Pye weed (a North American native), Cimicifugia “Brunette,” dwarf fleeceflower (Persicaria affinis), Verbena bonariensis, Russian sage, phlox and monkshood. Delphinums were at the height of their second bloom in Helen Dillon’s Dublin garden.

Dahlias were everywhere just as they had been in Monet’s garden in Giverny in late fall. They were in such variety and so glorious that I’m sorely tempted to go through the planting, lifting, storing and replanting cycle I’ve avoided for decades.

Autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale) was just popping up in beds and in lawns. Among the familiar annuals were nasturtiums and ornamental kales.

And we all had to chuckle when one of the garden owners proudly introduced us to an “exotic” shrub from Siberia of about five feet in

Fuchsia shrub.

Okanagan red can be served anywhere, any time

By James Romanow Orofino is a town just over the ridge from the Okanagan, toward the coast, on Highway 3. There are some wineries starting up there but, as is usual for a new growing district, the distribution outside B.C. is spotty. One of them, Orofino Bridge Winery, is run by an exSaskatchewan couple in the Similkameen valley. Their wines do occasionally show up here on wine lists, and recently got listed by the SLGA. Orofino Bridge tends to favour easy drinking wines ready for consumption when they leave the winery. Their Red Bridge Red is very much such a wine. If you think you’re ready to leave behind the Kool-Aid of your youth this is one you need to try.

You are led by a great herbal bouquet into an exceptionally smooth palate. If you do the full wine-taster swish, you’ll find there are solid tannins (a.k.a. structure) behind a pleasing easy sipping wine with flavours of fruit and coffee. The finish is dry and earthy and not overly obvious.

This is a wine you can serve anyone any time. It makes a nice cocktail lead toward dinner. You can drink it with pretty much all foods, from pizza to casseroles to roasts. You won’t need a cognac afterward as it will carry

One thing you do need to notice is the alcohol content. This is a ripe red wine and comes in at nearly 15 per cent. You won’t want to go out if you open this bottle over dinner, and when fed to an elderly relative will likely result in their having a pleasant post-prandial nap on the couch.
