It’s #InternationalChampagneDay You couldn’t possibly have thought we’d let this slip by?!? Tonight in our glass is a delicious Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru from @champagne_forget_brimont 100% Chardonnay from Avize, Mesnil-sir-Oger, and Oger. Blended with 20-40% reserve wine for consistency. ... Malolactic fermentation and a minimum of 38 months of cellar aging guarantees a full bodied mouth feel that finishes with great acidity. Grapefruit, acacia, honeysuckle and toasted brioche take us back to our spring trip to #Paris last year. Pictured here is a customized bottle we hand bejeweled for a customer’s 25th wedding anniversary. (We had a lot of time on our hands during the first COVID wave . ) What are you sipping tonight? . .

Last year with the help of BCHF, we created a scholarship in the name of our dear friend Chef Nik Lim. This past March we were able to award $2,000 to a young culinary student in Ladysmith that we felt embodies the spirit of Nik whom we miss every day. To further support the scholarship, the BCHF has created a custom link for the Our Beautiful Backyard Lottery that will support Nik’s scholarship. Tickets are available until November 1 and start at only $5.00. The list of 15 prizes features a selection of mini vacations around BC, a personal chef at your home, gift cards and pub packs in Vancouver and Victoria. All trips are redeemable in 2021. https://darelle.com/pp/bdsr1g/nvan_bergen1

Thinking back to this day in 2019 when we supported the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation Life Commitment dinner by providing all of the cocktails for the evening. It is truly a special event and we hope to see it back again in 2021 with the same outstanding success! All charities that fundraise through special events have had a rough go of it this year. Please consider donating to them now if you can. https://www.drpeter.org/

We are so happy that we were able to help make this wedding great! Events are different this year but not impossible. We have always had a hands on approach to all of our events and this is no different now - from custom menus to navigating health authority protocols we will will work with you to make your celebration safe and wonderful.

It’s #winewednesday and we are stretching out the sunny days as long as we can with one of our favourite roses from Arrowleaf Cellars.

We see you sunshine and raise a glass to you

Last month we took in the last of the #patio season with this #candlelit dinner and a great view of #vancouver Where restaurants are limited to reservations of six at home we can help you safely host all your friends and family! Here are a few COVID safety recommendations: ... Have guests wear masks during receptions Sit each bubble/household at their own table Have hand sanitizer stations throughout home Avoid buffets unless attended by staff - plated dinner is best! Eat outside if weather permits - we can always help you rent heaters for colder nights.

What wine are you sipping this weekend? We have a bottle of Crémant de Bourgogne 'Cuvée Millésimée', Cave de Lugny 2015 chilling in the fridge right now.

On October 24, they will be hosting a Special 2020 Gala and Auction, this year the silent auction is available to everyone including non-ticket holders.
