This year, Vancouver International Wine Festival features the wine region of California. It's impressive that the state of California alone can be the featured region. Similar to last year, instead of aimlessly drinking my way around the big tasting room, I focused on one type of wine. Since I'm not a huge chardonnay drinker, and I like Zinfandel in general, I picked out the California Zinfandel to taste.
When Starbucks launched the Black Sesame Tea Latte earlier this week, I was intrigued. I was particularly intrigued because black sesame is also one of my favourite flavours when it comes to bubble tea. Now I really have to try this.
In case you haven't heard, Starbucks Canada opened its biggest location yet here in Vancouver - a new Starbucks Reserve at CF Pacific Centre, at 700 West Pender Street. It's the second one here in Vancouver, with the first one being on Main Street in Mount Pleasant. Here's a look inside, and some Christmas gift ideas for you.
While I'm on my quest to a tasty cup of brown sugar pearl latte, I've also noticed the increasing number of bubble tea franchises popping up in Vancouver. One of the latest addition is Onezo Tapioca in Burnaby, with its location only steps away from Metrotown.
Have you heard of the trendy Brown Sugar Pearl Latte? Almost all, if not all, bubbletea shops are making those. I have jumped on this BBT bandwagon and the most recent stop was visiting the Exposure Social House in Richmond. It took over the Shake Shake Tea space at Empire Centre.
