Holiday Party at The Blackbird - SOLD OUT

Join us for our annual December Party event!  It’s become a tradition now – for the fourth year in a row we’ll be celebrating in the luxury private suite at The Blackbird.

The private suite at The Blackbird is gorgeous: there is lots of seating, lots of space to walk around and chat, a movie screen and even a pool table. And best of all – it’s all ours for the night!

As is the custom with our December event, this one will be a party! You can walk around and taste delicious wines, nibble on the Blackbird’s yummy treats, and share a laugh or two with your fellow BCWAS members.
 
The Blackbird has a great location, too – only steps away from Burrard Skytrain Station, so it’s easy to get to, and we’ll give you a transit ticket to get home for free.
 
You all know we’ve been stashing some great wines in the BCWAS cellar, and for this event, we’re pulling some of them out, including three decade-old beauties! Come along and try these gems:

• 2010 Noble Ridge The One Sparkling (Lieutenant Governor Award winner)
• 2006 Tantalus Old Vines Riesling
• 2013 Sage Hills Gewurztraminer
• 2015 Maverick Origin white blend
• 2014 Quinta Ferreira Chardonnay
• 2015 Marichel Rosé
• 2012 Road 13 Pinot Noir 
• 2009 Laughing Stock Blind Trust Red
• 2008 Herder Josephine
• 2008 La Frenz Cabernet Sauvignon
• 2006 Jackson-Triggs SunRock Shiraz
• 2006 LaStella Maestoso Merlot

 
Don’t forget to bring some cash with you – we’ll be having a raffle for a special bottle and for a free BCWAS membership.

We hope you can join us, and start your holiday season the best way – with wine, food, and friends!
