Moon Curser Winemaker's Dinner

This summer Moon Curser Vineyards was named Best Performing Small Winery in Canada at the WineAlign National Wine Awards, an awesome coup for this adventurous Osoyoos winery. On the back of several prominent Gold medals and a very rare Platinum, it was a well-deserved win. Proprietor and Winemaker Chris Tolley will be joining us at Water Street Cafe for this exciting dinner, featuring some unique Okanagan grape varieties that include Touriga Nacional (the aforementioned Platinum medal winner) and Tannat, plus Gold medal-winning Malbec and Dolcetto. Even the library-vintage Dead of Night blend we will enjoy also won a Gold medal at the 2015 National Wine Awards - it's an embarrassment of riches!
