Cuchillo Wine Brunch

We‘ve been working diligently on this upcoming event for quite some time and we are pleased to invite you to attend BCWAS‘ “First Ever” Wine Brunch.

Steve approached numerous restaurants to get this concept going and, with the help of Marian, we finalized an arrangement to host a Saturday Wine Brunch at Cuchillo Restaurant in Vancouver‘s Gastown. Read below as we tell you a bit about the Chef/Owner Stuart Irving and the incredible menu that was selected to titillate your palate on a Saturday afternoon.

“Cuchillo‘s dishes are more my personality, which is to say they are a little edgier,” Stuart explains. Drawing on his passion for Latin-inspired cuisine, Stuart's bold and savoury take on classic south-of-the-border dishes was influenced in part by his marriage to a Mexican woman. "We traveled through Central and South America and I just fell in love with Latino food," he says simply.

Since this is a first, your arrival beverage will feature Cuchillo‘s well-known “Margarita”. Yes, you read this right, a Margarita, with all its traditional ingredients, will be served at our wine brunch! When we do “First Ever” events, we allow ourselves liberties to go a bit “outside the box” and this featured drink has been selected to set the mood and get you all in the spirit… so to speak. We also challenged ourselves to look at the menu and select, from our BCWAS cellar, wines to pair exceptionally well with the diverse dishes served.
