Church & State... no, not more theology. Just a winery we visited on our way home from Vancouver Island today. It is definitely set up for the tourist market (located on the road to Butchart Gardens) but brought back fond memories of our wine trailing with Rhoda and Phil in NZ and Chile.
The wine itself was good. The sav blanc was quite different from the NZ savs, and the pinot not so rich. We did end up buying the Merlot/Cab Sav and a bottle of Cab Blanc - very moreish! 
We dined on the deck with our hodge-podge of picnicky leftovers from the weekend away: hard-boiled eggs, baby carrots, corn chips, bread and butter, yellow tomato, and oranges. How's that for haliday fare? April hasn't yet developed a taste for wine so she graciously accepted the role of designated driver! Thanks, Ape.
