Vendange Institute 440 Albert Street Ottawa, Ontario The last Vintages release of November always features a large selection of high end wines just in time for the holiday season. This year instead of calling it their 'Iconic' release, Vintages has labeled it "California Premium and Gifting'. This is a chance to taste a number of these 'Premium' wines plus other recommended wines from the release. We encourage you to register sooner than later as all members signed up by Sunday, November 19 will be invited to suggest a few of their choices from the release. We will consider the requests as we make the final selection, particularly looking at popular items based on multiple responses along with any intriguing thematic suggestions. The VPR is an opportunity to “try before you buy” a number of wines to be released by Vintages on the following Saturday. Taste some selected, expensive, highly reputed wines that might not cross your palate otherwise and also have the chance to discover wines offering exceptional price/quality ratios and affordable lesser-known premium quality products that are well-made bargains. This tasting will be lead by guild director Rod Story. Members: $67.80 Sponsored Guests: $79.10  Sun, November 12, 2017 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST
