The GOODS from Vancouver Urban Winery

Vancouver, BC | The Vancouver Urban Winery presents Sunday School, a series of informal and irreverent wine seminars hosted by Sommeliers David Stansfield and Lisa Cook. The focus of Sunday School will be on demystifying wine in an accessible and energetic environment. “Our goal is to pair a little education with a lot of wine, and even more fun” explains David Stansfield. “That’s the great thing about learning about wine. The best way to do it is to drink, and to talk about drinking.” Details after the jump…

About the Seminars

Each seminar features multiple flights of wines corresponding to a set theme. The first is Wine 101: A World Tour of Wine. The second features the wines of JoieFarm, including back vintages and barrel samples, presented by owner and winemaker Heidi Noble in a course called Better Know A BC Winery. The third is an interactive, brown-bag, blind tasting billed as BC vs. the World. The final installment – How To Buy Wine And Influence People – addresses everyday wine conundrums like deciphering labels, understanding wine scores, and outsmarting sommeliers.
