I was invited to a Prosecco tasting event hosted by the Prosecco DOC Consortium. We got to sample different styles including Brut, Extra-Dry, and Rosé, paired with small bites featuring flavours from around the world to showcase the versatility of Prosecco. Here is a list of Prosecco I've tried at this event and liked.
The Vancouver International Wine Festival is back for its 46th year. This year's theme was West Coast U.S. I attended a wine seminar that showcased ten top-tiered wines from the featured region, with winery representatives offering insight into their growing and/or wine-making process. So let me share some of my own tasting notes here.
My girlfriends and I went to Glass House Estate Winery for their High Vin Sunday Brunch simply because it sounds like a lot of fun. For $65 per person, you are treated to a buffet brunch, a glass of bubbly and a flight of five 1oz wine.
So over the holidays Mr. got into cocktail making and we're looking up recipes online to try. The tricky thing is, we don't have a lot of ingredients readily available and we also don't want to stock up a lot of liqueurs, syrups or bitters and clog up the shelves. Then I was given this New York Sour recipe and with some modifications, it's just the perfect drink for us to make at home.
When I went to Cornucopia in Whistler, one of my favourite sessions was Ohh La La, where we sipped and learned about 10 French wines that cost CAD$37 or less.
