Join the Bacchus Bistro folks every Monday evening, 7-9 pm at Sips.
Because in the New Year — the second decade of the new millennium — it’s back-to-school for wannabe grape groupies who need to know about wines…where they come from, how they’re harvested and fermented, and how to develop your nose and palate to appreciate them.
The sipping school is the brainchild of Spinnaker’s Product Consultant and wine afficianado, Larry Arnold — and the first session begins with ripsnorting reds!
Starting Date: Monday, January 18, 2010 – Time: 7-9 pm
Cost: $25/session

Instead of twiddling your thumbs, try tingling your tastebuds over at Sips Artisan Bistro in James Bay Square (425 Simcoe Street) this week!
Larry Arnold, Product Consultant for Spinnakers Wine, Beer & Spirits Merchants, will be hosting a special wine tasting on Thursday, October 22 from 4:00 to 5:30 pm featuring the reds and whites of the award-winning Hillside Estate Winery, (celebrating 25 years of passion for plump grapes in Penticton, British Columbia).
For the wine connoisseur on your birthday, Christmas, or wedding list who would be pleased with a few extra bottles to cellar, consider a consultation with discriminating wine buyer Larry Arnold. Whether he recommends small-lot BC rarities, classic vintages, organics and biodynamics or, for the trophy hunter, Chateau Cheval Blanc 2005 Bordeaux (at $1,400 a bottle, purportedly the greatest vintage produced in the last 50 years), he caters to big and small collectors.
