Monday was another great wine class! Thanks to Rebecca and Brandon for the muscle in corking wine bottles!

Mentioned in Monday’s class, was the up coming Vancouver International Wine Festival. This is a great opportunity to taste a variety of wines, talk to the industry professionals and improve your new found tasting skills. Also remember to check out the volunteer opportunities at the festival! Great way to build your knowledge!
