SUMMARY:Big Sky Resort's Vine & Dine Festival Takes Wining and Dining to New Heights
DESCRIPTION:Vine & Dine Festival Takes Wining and Dining to New Heights \n  \n\n\nIt’s time to take sipping to new heights.\n\n\nThe 4th Annual Vine & Dine Festival\, Aug. 17th – 20th\, is an intriguingly delightful and adventurous artisanal-food and wine festival at beautiful Big Sky Resort\, located south of Bozeman\, Mont.\, and a short distance from Yellowstone National Park. Taste hundreds of obscure wines from boutique wineries in a dozen different countries and listen to Master Sommeliers with some of the most sophisticated palates in the world discuss Portuguese\, orange and mineral wines. Plus\, Google’s culinary team will be on hand preparing exquisite tasty delights to personalize your food experience.  \n  \n\n\n\nNot only is Vine & Dine Montana’s most prestigious wine festival\, but it is truly unlike any other. \n  \n\n\n\nBack again for the fourth year is Vine & Dine’s signature event: Pinot on the Peak. Big Sky Resort combines delicious pinot tastings with the resort’s popular Lone Peak Expedition. It’s the ‘Biggest Tasting in America\,’ and includes a ride on the Swift Current chairlift\, an alpine picnic\, a covered safari ride and an aerial tram ride to the top of Lone Peak. Toast to good wine\, new friends and new adventures at 11\,166 feet. \n  \n\n\n\nNew to the festival is an opportunity for hospitality professionals to take an intensive introductory Sommeliers class from a team of Master Sommeliers. Nearby Bozeman’s metropolitan-influence is drawing a growing number of consumers with sophisticated palates and an affinity for fine wine and cuisine. This intro course is an opportunity for local and regional wine and hospitality professionals to keep pace with their knowledge of proper wine service and deductive tasting.  \n  \n\n\n\nThe Vine & Dine Festival also offers creative and sophisticated seminars with some of the foremost experts on Portuguese wines. Master Sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher\, both at the top of their class\, will teach deductive tasting techniques. American chef and TV personality John Besh will dazzle attendees with exquisite Southern delights\, and Google Global Program Chef Scott Giambastiani will prepare plant-based dishes made from Montana-grown produce. All of this plus music\, a thriving local arts scene and beautiful landscapes for as far as the eye can see. Come\, kick back and enjoy the mountains with superb wine and dining.    \n  \n\n\nVisit bigskyresort.com/vine to purchase tickets and for a list of scheduled seminars.

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual BC Pinot Noir Celebration
DESCRIPTION:On August 19\, 2017\, the BC Pinot Noir Celebration returns with 34 top Pinot Noir producers coming together with five of Western Canada’s top chefs for an unforgettable evening of wine and food at Kaleden’s famed Linden Gardens. \nNow in its fourth year\, the BC Pinot Noir Celebration (BCPNC) is bigger than ever before. In total\, 47 wineries submitted their wines for the event. After a rigorous tasting by a panel of discerning judges of some of Vancouver’s top sommeliers (DJ Kearney\, Lisa Haley\, Jason Yamasaki\, Kurtis Kolt\, Michaela Morris\, Keith Nicholson\, Roger Maniwa\, Mark Taylor and Sebastien Le Goff)\, the field was whittled down to 34 Pinots which guests will have the chance to sample at the celebration. \nIn addition to increasing the number of wineries\, the event will also see more chefs in order to highlight the pairing versatility of Pinot Noir. Returning chefs Cameron Smith and Dana Ewart (Joy Road Catering) will be joined by Alex Sielmann (Frog City Café)\, Matt Batey (The Nash) and Mike Bernardo (Vij’s Restaurant) who will treat guests to an exquisite cocktail-style dinner. \n“The idea behind this event was to celebrate Pinot Noir and showcase the number of top quality producers we have in BC\,” said David Paterson\, Winemaker/GM at Tantalus Vineyards and BCPNC President. “We are extremely proud to see how much this celebration has grown and how it has really solidified Pinot Noir as one of BC’s signature varietals.” \nAnother significant component to the celebration is education and creating an open forum to discuss the varietal and compare the different styles produced. Breakout sessions provide a chance for guests to delve deeper into the tasting experience\, while the keynote address provides interesting dialogue and provides perspective on how BCs Pinot Noirs compare with International benchmarks. \nPast events have seen the likes of Karen MacNeil (The Wine Bible) and Steven Spurrier (Decanter) delivering the keynote address. This year\, we are honoured to have Master of Wine Richard Hemming as our keynote speaker. Richard is an award-winning wine writer and educator from the UK who is a primary contributor to JancisRobinson.com among other influential wine publications. He will share stories of the heartbreak grape around the world as well as his experience with the Wines of British Columbia in general as he explores our beautiful wine region for the first time. \nThe 2017 event will also feature a sparkling wine reception\, salon-style tasting\, breakout educational session and live music from renowned local artists Jack and Jill. The 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. celebration will welcome over 300 guests to sip and taste through the best BC Pinot Noirs. Tickets ($175) are available now at BCPinotNoir.ca. \nThe 2017 BCPNC is proudly sponsored by ATS Healthcare\, the BC Wine Institute\, Bell Media and Food & Wine Trails Magazine as well as a private anonymous donor who contributed support for the love of Pinot. \n\n\n\nAbout BCPNC\nThe BC Pinot Noir Celebration (BCPNC) was conceived in 2013 when a collection of passionate Pinot Noir producers across the province got together (over a pint of beer) to discuss a vision to create an event for an intimate group of winemakers and Pinot Noir lovers. The idea was simply to get together for a casual evening to enjoy great wine and incredible food\, and open the dialogue about Pinot Noir in BC\, how it compares to benchmarks around the world\, and where the varietal is headed. The event is coordinated and managed 100 per cent by dedicated volunteers from the local wine and event industry. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipatingWineries:\n50th Parallel Estate Winery\n8th Generation Vineyard\nAverill Creek Vineyard\nBaillie-Grohman Estate Winery\nBlack Swift Vineyards/TheHatch\nBlue Mountain Vineyard & Cellar\nCedar Creek Estate Winery\nChurch and State Wines\nFoxtrot Vineyards\nHillside Winery & Bistro\nHowling Bluff Estate Winery\nJoie Farm Winery\nLa Frenz Winery\nLaughing Stock Vineyards\nLiquidity Wines\nMaverick Estate Winery\nMeyer Family Vineyards\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nMirabel Vineyards\nMission Hill Family Estate\nMoraine Estate Winery\nNiche Wine Co.\nNk’Mip Cellars\nNoble Ridge Vineyard & Winery\nOkanagan Crush Pad\nPrivato Vineyard & Winery\nQuails’ Gate Winery\nScorched Earth Winery\nSpierhead Winery\nStag’s Hollow Winery\nStoneboat Vineyards\nSummerhill Pyramid Winery\nTantalus Vineyards\nTightrope Winery\nUnsworth Vineyards
