Innovative Monthly Wine Tasting Series in Downtown Vancouver
Word is out about British Columbia wines. The New York Times has declared the province’s Okanagan Valley a “Napa of the North,” and emerging regions on Vancouver Island and in the nearby Fraser Valley are already winning accolades for a promising portfolio of whites and reds.
In fact, for wine lovers visiting Vancouver, the range of exceptional choices on restaurant wine lists can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. That’s where the Hamilton Street Grill’s monthly tasting series comes in. Once a month the popular steakhouse in trendy Yaletown hosts a tasting of local and international wines paired with specially made dishes from the kitchen.
