It's Time to Barbecue!

26/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Come and join your fellow BC wine lovers for some fun in the sun in beautiful Kerrisdale. Members Larry & Maggie have graciously offered to host us again in their gorgeous backyard – the fun includes badminton, bocce, patio, shady trees, and an in-ground salt-water pool!

We’ll be bringing some great selections from the BCWAS wine cellar. There will be something for everyone, including some fresh new Roses (magnums no less!), crisp whites (with a rare White Pinot Noir), and hearty, food-friendly reds going all the way back to 2008!

All the food will be provided by our very own corporate member Trish Bell, owner of Casalinga Foods. There will be all kinds of delicious nibbles – you will not go hungry! BCWAS will provide all the necessary picnic stuff: plates, cutlery, napkins, and of course pitchers of water. Don’t forget to drink lots of water!
 
What do you need to bring? Your lawn chair or a blanket, and, of course, your appetite. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and your swimsuit!
