What’s Up In The Wine World This Week

BC Wine Country is up and running (for the most part), but there’s still a few of those great virtual tastings for those who prefer the safety of social distancing, or want to dive deeper into Bubbles, BC Wine or Chardonnay!  Follow our drinks contributor Good Wine Gal, Barb Wild for more on wine.

Tuesday July 14 at 7:30 pm it’s Bubbles 102 with Van Doren Chan  as we explore the modern era of sparkling wine and Champagne. We still have seats available. Click here to reserve: 

Perfect Pairings:

If you like cheese, order the Good Cheese Bag from Les Amis du Fromage. (password is barbw) Or consider take out of any of these: Fried Chicken, Pommes Frites, Triple Cream Brie, Pan fried oysters (or raw on the half shell – call Rodney’s)

Wednesday July 15 at 5 pm it’s BC Wine Wednesday!
