- Bring some snacks or dinner! Although we don't have something as versatile as a sparkling wine or rosé, medium to light meats might be a good idea for this tasting. Or seafood for the whites! Or you can experiment, as a lot of Spanish winemaking techniques are.

It's the Zombie Apocalypse! Well actually it's just a Halloween themed Wine Tasting!

It's that scary time of year again (at least it's supposed to be right?). For the sake of the upcoming fake holiday, we can now explore together which wines would pair well with a zombie apocalypse!

According to our wine expert Josh, apparently these! :

This Friday will be your chance to discover these post apocalyptic wines, everything from a sweet to super earth red wines from countries like France, Spain, Chile, and Italy.

Please note that the cap is around 40 people this time, so please RSVP via the emails that we have sent when as soon as possible!

Obligatory reminders:

- 2 pieces of legit ID!

- As per usual, the tasting will take place from 7PM to roughly 9PM in room 212A of the SUB.

- Bring some dinner or snacks! Sparkling wine is versatile, and we have two sweet wines, so take advantage of that and bring a muffin or chips or something. Or meat. For the red wine.

- Make sure your tummy is happy before tasting!

Hello everyone!

With school starting up again, we thought it would be the perfect time to start up the tastings once again!

This time, we're doing a round table social, where the emphasis will be on meeting and discussing the wines with both members and people just generally interested in wine.

And for new comers to the wine world, this year we are happy to have 4 executive and council members that have successfully completed the WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) certification process, and will be more than glad to help us be introduced to the basics of wine tasting!

Please remember to bring 2 pieces of government issued IDs (eg. driver's license, passport) that can verify that you are 19 years or older.

We are still selling memberships for prospective members for $40 for one year, but we still do offer drop in's for $7. The event is first come, first serve, so please aim to arrive early!

There will also be a chance to win prizes for members, that involves two Lulu Island Winery Tour tickets!

Hope to see you there!
