[Wines] Tasting the Wines of Australia – Part 1

I was invited to participate in Wine Australia’s media tasting. Yum would best describe this wine and dine experience, and it all started with these wine and food pairings. I went into a bit more detail with my favourites. Please stay tuned for part 2 of this post, as I use my rudimentary yet honest experience with wine to talk about the six categories of wine sampled at this event.

Wings Wings Wings! Wings night at the Thirsty Duck Pub

I’ll start by saying the wings there were absolutely delicious, better than Wings wings. At a quarter a piece, you won’t find better wings for less around Vancouver. They are cooked just right, and are decent sized as well so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We went ahead and ordered a pound of each flavour, 7 in total, honey garlic, sweet and spicy, thai, teriyaki, hot, BBQ, and salt and pepper.

Congratulations to White Spot on raising over $40,000 last Wednesday through the sales of Pirate Paks. You can read the official media release here. We're glad to have participated and truly enjoyed our Adult Paks. In fact we went as far as customizing our own Pirate Paks.

[Wines] Wine Tasting at Seasons in QE Park

Last Tuesday, VanFoodies was invited to the "Treats for Tweeters" event at the Seasons Restaurant in Queen Elizabeth Park. It's its bi-weekly wine tasting, but this one was exclusively for some tweeters, bloggers and foodies.

[Wines] Touring Fort Wine Co., Domaine de Chaberton and Township 7

Last year I attended Tourism Vancouver's Open House and entered its door prize draw. I was later notified that I was the lucky winner of a local winery tour, courtesy of A.E. Vancouver Private Tours. Earlier this summer, I redeemed the prize and went on a private tour, visiting three local wineries in Langley. Here is a photoblog of the tour, along with my personal favourites.
