Have you been to the Settlement Building in Railtown? Did you know you could find wine, beer AND food in that one place? The Settlement Building is home to the Vancouver Urban Winery, Postmark Brewing, and Belgard Kitchen. I’m giving away one bomber bottle of Postmark Brewing’s Ginger Wit, one bottle of Vancouver Urban Winery Merlot and one Postmark Pullover Sweater (valued at $75).
At the California Cruisin' event of the 2016 Vancouver International Wine Festival, vineyards of the Golden State were showcased at the beautiful Waterview by the False Creek.

For the first time, the Union des Grand Crus de Bordeaux, an association of 133 grand crus estates in the Bordeaux area of France, has made a stop in Vancouver for their North America wine tour. Held at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, this ticketed event gave participants an opportunity to have an advanced tasting of the 2013 Bordeaux release that will be available at BC Liquor Stores this October.
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.
