The 1st YVR Wine Bloggers and Sommeliers Group Tasting

The YVR Wine Bloggers and Sommeliers group is going to hold an informative tasting for the public on Tuesday, November 10th at Scott Landon Antiques (2349 Granville St.). It will be a “wine show” style tasting with approximately 10 tables. Each table is going to teach one simple wine lesson – for example:

  • Table 1 The difference between Old and New World,
  • Table 2 The difference between Warm and Cool Climate,
  • Table 3 Method Champeniose vs Charmat Method etc etc.

After visiting each of the ten tables attendees will have a solid understanding of fundamental wine styles and will have tasted examples of each.

Sounds like a fun way to learn about wine, huh? Well, if it sounds good to you, tickets are $25 each and are being limited to 100 people. You can head over to the EventBrite page to purchase them securely online, or tickets will be $35 at the door. I wouldn’t wait though – because tickets are limited, they may sell out ahead of time and you may be out of luck.

Knowing the others in this group, there will be some truly great wine to taste and you’ll learn from some of Vancouver’s best wine folks.

I hope to see a bunch of you there.

  • I like the idea of this group tasting. I had never gone to one until a few months ago (got hooked on tasting after watching a wine review site or two - click on my name for the one I go to frequently)...

    $25 is also a reasonable price...The last one I attended, the tickets were $50 a piece and they only had two tables with lessons.

    Thanks for this and we might see you there!
