Adventures for the long weekend<\/h2>\n

Now that I’m working full time, the weekend takes on a whole new meaning, and a three-day weekend is extra welcome as I’ve got lots to catch up on around my always crowded home. I’m off to Le Petit Spa<\/a><\/strong> today for a massage, joining David Peng<\/a><\/strong> to talk about pairing wines with Liuyishouna<\/a> Hot Po<\/strong>t, join us live HERE<\/a><\/strong> at 5:30 pm, and making some spot prawn ceviche tomorrow after a visit to either Organic Ocean Seafood<\/a><\/strong> at Fishermen’s Wharf or F.I.S.H.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Coors<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s the May 2\/4, which Michael has just told me has something to do with cases of beer available in Ontario, which was why Coors<\/a> released their newest flavour, Coor Slice Grapefruit. To kick off to summer, May 2\/4, Coors launched Coors Slice Grapefrui<\/strong>t a light, refreshing beer with a hint of grapefruit flavour. It\u2019s subtle, not too sweet, and combines the delicious citrusy flavour of ruby red grapefruit with the refreshing taste of Coors.<\/p>\n

\"hulahulashake<\/a><\/p>\n

What we are really about though is supporting our very local scene and one of our adventures earlier in the month was a night out on the town on the patio of Main Street Brewing<\/a><\/strong> to try the new\u00a0Hula Hula Shake Tropical Milkshake Sour, <\/strong>a Poolside Hazy IPA that closes out the four-beer series they did this May! This makes me miss our backyard growing up in Kelowna, in times when dreams of having an acreage where still alive and my girl pals would live at our pool in the summer. The Hula Hula Shake (5.4% ABV \/ 12 IBU) \u2014 is a Berliner Weisse-styled, slightly sour brew with fresh passionfruit, orange, and guava pur\u00e9e with hints of vanilla and toast.<\/p>\n

Get your beer and taco fix at Main Street Brewing<\/strong> from 5-8 pm Saturday and Strange Fellows Brewing<\/a><\/strong> from 12-4 pm Sunday with Top Rope Birria<\/a><\/strong> taco truck.<\/p>\n

\"moldova\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Things to plan for this coming week include getting to know the Wines of\u00a0Moldova,<\/strong> a country dedicated to growing vines and making wine.
