Quirky Wines at Burdock & Co

Burdock2If you’ve ever wanted to try some interesting Italian Tipples now’s your chance as Chef Andrea Carlson hosts Matt Sherlock of Sedimentary Wines on March 24, 2014 to guide guests off the well-worn path of red and white to explore the world of orange wines. Orange wines are created using ancient traditional techniques not commonly used in modern times; in a method usually reserved for red wines, white grapes are macerated and allowed to sit in their skins for a fortnight or more, resulting in wines with complex flavour, rich texture and glowing with a warm copper hue.

20 seats are available for this extraordinary evening. Interested parties are encouraged to act quickly to reserve a seat. Tickets are $130 per person including tax and gratuity.

To find out more or make a reservation, please call Burdock & Co at 604-879-0077 or purchase online.
