It’s Tasting Time!

It’s time to get your tickets for the Limited Edition 2012 wine tastings! 
Yes, it is that time again. Four exciting evenings (2 in Brandon, 2 in Winnipeg) with guest speaker, wine guru and all around great guy Tim Vandergrift. The tastings are: 

Brandon 
Wine Festival Wednesday November 14th 
Component tasting Thursday November 15th 

Winnipeg 
Wine Festival Friday November 16th 
Component Tasting Saturday November 17th. 

Now you are wondering “What is the difference between the 2 nights? Wine Festival and Component?” The details are below but to summarize the Wine Festival is our standard tasting event that many of you have attended in the past. The Component Tasting offers a sit-down session with a guided tasting of the 5 individual components of wine (Oak, tannin, acid, alochol, sweetness) with two ‘benchmark’ wines. TO be specific you’ll taste tannin- and then identify it in the benchmark wines, acid and identify, oak and identify etc.
