Dear Editor,

It was a cool misty evening when Peter (thank you for driving us all home too) brought the first busload of people to BI’s first International Wine tasting at the Lodge at the Old Dorm.
The Lodge was transformed into a wonderful venue sporting a self serve snack bar with delicious pulled pork sliders by Memphis Blues - thank you. Thanks also to Christoph and Julie of Artisan Eats for such delicious breads and cheeses!!
AND the wines - well they were astounding - nine wineries to taste and choose from thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Sujnder Juneja and Paul (BI Beer and Wine Store) as well as a generous donation from each bottle sold to Bowen Children’s Centre.
AND fun - well we had it in spades from the laughter and intense conversations to the exclamations of joy when meeting old friends it was a wonderful evening for all those who attended.
To Dan and Julia Parkin, our very special hosts who opened their doors and their pocket books in support of this event, as well as the BCC volunteers, especially Dayna Purdy , thank you just doesn’t cut it - you were awesome!!
See you all next year at the 2nd annual BI International Wine Tasting!
