Next Event: JUNE 12th, 2007
5:30 - 7:30 pm at St. Anthony Main Event Centre
CELEBRATING JAPAN IN JUNE
Although Sake has been made in Japan since around the 3rd century B.C., it is a rice "wine" that we have not yet featured at A Wine Affair. Sake is made from rice, rather the grapes of most wines we enjoy today, wherein there are many variations of methods to polish the rice. As such, we will be showcasing the delicious Sake made from four different polished rices, including a Sparkling Sake! To round out the evening's selection, we will also be featuring two Beers brewed in Japan since 1889, and recently introduced in the United States in the 1990's.
As always, the food and drink is not to be missed. If you want to experience Japanese cuisine, in Chef Ben's nouveau, fusion style - this is an evening not to be missed. Our friends that attend regularly do so because there is something new to experience every month. We welcome you for this unique dining and learning event!

The monthly A Wine Affair evenings are not to be missed if you are a foodie at heart or someone who appreciates good food and good wine. No matter what your level of expertise in wines and wine pairings, A Wine Affair is for you. These evenings are focused on usually six wines from a particular region or a specific vineyard.
Our amazing Executive Chef Benjamin McCallum is an artist who designs a menu of small plates around each wine. You are sure to try something new each month!
These evenings are two hours long over the happy hour and are meant for a relaxing and social evening. Feel free to come when you can and stay as long as you would like. We recommend, however, getting the best of the evening by starting off right away! As with any happy hour, you may fill up on these amazing delectables or head to one of the many neighboring restaurants on the historic Riverfront.
