Even though the theme region for this year's Vancouver International Wine Festival was California, there were many events featuring other wine-making countries/regions. Lucky for me I was able to attend the Gusto Latinoamericano wine lunch at Lift Bar Grill View. As you may have guessed already, this wine lunch highlighted wines from Argentina and Chile.
At the 2016 Vancouver International Wine Festival, I once again went to the popular 25 Under $25. Hand-picked by James Nevison, The Province's "Wine Guy", we got to sample 25 wines priced reasonably at $25 or less. Here is the full list of wines and I've highlighted the ones I enjoyed the most.
To date our Garibaldi Beer Club has had 13 beer nights, so it was about time we had a wine night. Plus it was good timing for not one, but two couples in our club, who are getting married this year, to obtain some feedback/ideas on potential wines for their nuptial-day shenanigans.
The 2014 Vancouver International Wine Festival has come to an end, and we were invited to cover two events. First of all, a glimpse of the International Tasting Room. There were various sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We went to Thursday evening one; apparently it also tends to be the most "tame" session of all.
I was invited to the annual portfolio tasting of Icon Fine Wine & Spirits, which represents a huge portfolio of wineries around the world. There was a lot of wine for tasting and I don't think I even went through 1/4 of them!
