Ottawa Wine & Food Show 2008 Tasting Room Volunteers
Sunday, 28 September 2008
The Guild needs your assistance in the tasting room. We will be running about 10 events over the three days of the show. Volunteers, who need no prior experience, will set the tables, pour the wine, enjoy the guest speaker, and then repeat the process for the next tasting.
It’s not glamorous work, but it can be a lot of fun. Volunteering for an event does not preclude you from buying a ticket to that event. Shifts are about two hours each and will be in the periods Friday, 7 November 12:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., Saturday, 8 November, 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, 9 November 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (note: these times may shift slightly). We can arrange shifts to suit your needs.
So if you can spare at least two hours and are keen to help out, please e-mail Bill Ellis at
or call 613-833-0293 in the evenings.
The National Capital Sommelier Guild strongly supports moderate and responsible consumption of wine and spirits. Guild dinner events allow a designated driver to attend at a reduced price. The designated driver will not be served alcohol. Guild tasting events provide and encourage the use of spit buckets.
