Wine, Beer & Wine Talk by Art of the Table
June 14, 2011

 

Greetings from Amy in Vancouver!

Hubby Steve and I are proud to report that the food & wine scene is alive and kicking here.  When I tell people I'm head out on a trip, the usual question is 'business or pleasure?'

  •  

The answer always is YES!

We always have fun working when it is the tough job of going to wineries,

going out for dinner, and treking to every cheese & meat shop in the city!

cheese & meat @ salt

We're absolutely serious that we didn't know nearly the extent of the rather large - and growing leaps and bounds - artisan food & wine movement taking place right here.  "BC wines" are at every table of ours this week and we have tried every cheese & meat option we can get our hands on - and they're made right here in the Vancouver area and off to the east in the

Okanagen region! 

  •  

 

So, we'll do the difficult work of trying new things out here...

...below are a few ways you can do some tastings

at Art of the Table!


 

 

tastings this week   


This week is CHEESE WEEK @ Art of the Table! The samples this week are deemed to be out of control!  Today (Tuesday) we are featuring bacon wrapped brie, and all I can say is WOW, THAT'S an idea for Father's Day!
All week there are great cheeses to sink your teeth into all day long
10-8 through wednesday, then thursday/friday 10-9
and saturday 9-9! 


June Thursdays are for wine tasting! 

 

Every Thursday in June we'll be uncorking those sample bottles to let you taste wines! Our June theme is a bubbly, white & red theme.  Each Thursday one of each will be opened from a specific country. 

Come in each Thursday and learn by taste! 

  

4-8pm

 June 16 ~ France: Bubbly, White & Red

June 23 ~ Italy: Bubbly, White & Red

June 30 ~ USA: Bubbly, White & Red

 

June Fridays are for beer tasting! 

 

4-8pm

June 17 ~ Brooklyn Brewery

 

We'll have most of the Brooklyn lineup lined up across our sample table this Friday for you to try!  Stop in for sipping! 

  

 


Father's Day is June 19!

 

This weekend we were invited to WZZM13 news to talk with Jennifer about ideas for Father's Day gifts!  If you missed it, there are ideas right here

on the screen.  Thanks to the lovely Kate for going on camera!

 

And remember last week's offer still stands! 



 MAN chenin

We have created a special

dad duo

of wines that ring in at only $16.65 for the pair,  

a white and a red that can be used for virtually anything ~ like grilled foods, pasta dinners or just sipping.

The Casa de Campo Cab and MAN Vintners Chenin Blanc come packaged  

(through June 18) with a free duo gift box!  Just say "I want the dad duo!" 

 

We also have just about anything else under the sun for dads.

May we highly recommend one of the other 295 wines from our shelves!

 

Let us know how we can help prep you for the celebration!
