Steve and Jason you have each won yourself a pair of tickets to Friday's event! DM me your email addresses so I can email you the information!

Have fun!
If you've been following my blog or twitter account you'll know that I had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Okanagan area this past summer. It was my first opportunity to bask in the beautiful weather, enjoy the scenery, and of course to sample a variety of wines from Kelowna down towards Naramata. The wineries are amazing over there and the opportunity to sample so many wines is such a great experience.
As the Okanagan area is a relatively lengthy drive from Edmonton (approx. 10 hours), the Edmonton Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival is a great opportunity to sample a variety of wines, beers, scotch all of which are paired with food! There will be local Edmonton restaurants providing tastings of their food, wine and beer providers.
The event takes place on Friday November 2 (4-10pm) and Saturday November 3 (3-10pm) at the Shaw Conference Centre (Hall A-C). Please check their website for further details and ticket information.
I'm excited to announce that I have two pairs of tickets for the Friday November 2 session to giveaway! This is only for entry into the event If you would like to sample wine, food or other beverages, you will need to purchase sampling coupons (50 cents each).

ReplyDeletemm..nice choice on the Malbec! I do find that as of late, I'm enjoying wines that are less dry. Still enjoy the full bodied wines, but not too many earthy flavours to it!
DeleteMy neighbor gave me a bottle of Sokol Blosser as a gift for taking his mail in while he was away. I love it.
ReplyDeleteGifts are always appreciated; even better when they taste good :)
DeleteMy go to is Vampire. Bought one of their reds the first time for the novelty of it and was pretty amazed at how great it went with everything.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see a vampire wine! Will certainly try it. What did you like about their reds? full bodied, fruity, earthy?
DeleteI love the Granville Island, pretty much any flavor!
ReplyDeleteI have recently been enjoying Sur de los Andes Malbec - a perfect fall red, before it's time to bring on the mulled wine! As for beer, we've been stocking the fridge with Maisels Weisse lately :)
ReplyDeletemy go to wine is j.lohr valdigue, amazing red that i found at the wine festival 5 years ago!!!
ReplyDeleteI love St. Hubertus Chasselas. If you can find it. Right now I am loving Stoneleigh Reisling
ReplyDeleteOur go-to red is Cono Sur's cab sauv (from Chile).
ReplyDeleteBeers always rotate, but you can't go wrong with anything from Mikeller or Dieu du Ciel!
I don't have a favourite beer - whatever is on special for the day because it's cheaper than usual ;). If I have to choose, I like Sol.
