The Holiday 2008 Program will be a walk-around style to accommodate the large number of wines available for tasting. Remember to bring your glass, but there will be glasses available for purchase just in case!

Stay tuned for updates on prizes and other special offerings!

Evening Festivities!

7:00 p.m: the corks will start popping! For the next two hours you and your friends can choose wines from tables filled with red Meritage blends, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Canadian Reds& Whites, Riesling, Semillon, and Pinot Gris.

7:00 - 8:00: during the first hour, we will also be pouring sparkling wines

8:00 - 9:00: Port and dessert wines until the evening ends. These great wines come from all over the Northwest as well as from France, Canada, Portugal and Australia.

Back by popular acclaim will be the incredible, mouth-watering, 44-inch high Belgian dark chocolate fountain courtesy of Helene's Chocolate Affair. What better way to celebrate the holidays than with gallons of luscious chocolate, your favorite wine and friends.

The casual walk-around format offers you the chance to share your finds and visit throughout the evening. This is a great program to share with a friend who has not experienced the fun of exploring different wines or of pairing them with food (and chocolate!) in a thoroughly relaxing, unhurried environment.

Remember, this event usually sells out (paid attendance is limited to 210), so get your reservations in early and remember to invite a friend or two! Your entrance price covers all of the food, ten scrip for sampling your choice of sparkling and still wines plus additional scrip for the Ports and dessert wines.
