Call Out to Summer: Friday, July 22

​We’ve called out to summer, and I think summer has answered us! What better way to enjoy the long warm days than an evening with wine, food, and a bunch of other like-minded BC wine lovers? 

We’ll open up the patio doors at De Dutch, and we can toast our beautiful waterfront view with some of the best of what our province has to offer. Even better – it’s a Friday night, so you likely don’t have to get up and go to work the next day! The selection of wines being poured include:

• 2012 Sandhill Small Lots Viognier
• 2014 Church & State Lost Inhibitions White
• 2014 Three Sisters Chardonnay
• 2014 Terravista Albarino
• 2014 Bench 1775 Malbec Glow Rosé
• 2014 Skaha Vineyard Merlot Rosé
• 2012 JoieFarm Gamay
• 2006 Jackson-Triggs Merlot
• 2011 Poplar Grove Syrah Viognier
• 2007 Herder Josephine
• 2008 Mission Hill Compendium

… plus a bubbly to start things off!
 
For food, we’re kicking it up a notch! Trish Bell, caterer extraordinaire and owner of our corporate member Casalinga Foods, will be making some amazing nibbles for us. The menu includes:

• Mini Greek Salad Stuffed Cucumbers
• Smoked Salmon in Beet Cups with Herbed Cream Cheese
• Stuffed Quails’ Eggs
• Tuna Avocado Medley in Sesame Cups
• Vegetarian Spring Rolls & Spanakopita
• Poached Jumbo Prawns
• Cornmeal Panko-breaded Oysters
• Coconut-breaded Lobster Fingers
• Bacon-wrapped Scallops
• Brochette with French Crisps & Tomato Basil Salsa
• Cheese & Charcuterie Platters with Artisan Breads

Our corporate member Gone Crackers will be providing us with their “Undressed” crackers to go with our wine. We are delighted to be able to enjoy Gone Crackers with our BC wines!
