This summer’s evening Sommelier, Tim Ellison of Bistro 101®, will provide a guided tour of a blooming international phenom; rosé wines. This 5-course journey pays homage to the diversity and food friendliness of this playful wine style. These especially chosen rosé pairings travel through Spain, BC, Argentina, France and finally Australia. What’s left for you to do is decide which rosé will come to fruition at your next patio affair. Bistro 101® is a fine-dining restaurant overseen by Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts and is located at 1505 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver.
