The GOODS from Uva Wine Bar

Vancouver, BC | Calling all apple-loving Vancouverites! Please join us for Vancouver’s inaugural Calvados Cocktail Competition on Tuesday, February 18th, 7–10 p.m at Uva Wine Bar. The most creative competition of the season culminates with six of Vancouver’s elite, behind-the-bar all-stars — Thor Paulson (Wildebeest), William Johnson (L’Abattoir), Julia Diakow (Cuchillo), Martin Correveau (La Pentola), Justin Anello (La Terrazza) and Sean McGuigan (Clough Club) — vying to become the winner of $1,000 cash, a limited bottle of Pere Magloire 20 YO Calvados and of course, coveted bragging rights.

Developed and sponsored by Pere Magloire Fine Calvados and our very own Lauren Mote, each bartender will be tasked to create a unique cocktail inspired by and using the featured spirit, Pere Magloire Fine Calvados. Guests will have the opportunity to sample each competitor’s cocktail and delicious inspired bites from the Uva kitchen.

This competition started on January 15th as an open call to working bartenders to submit a cocktail recipe showcasing one of the world’s most elegant and rare spirits, the apple-based “appellation d’origine contr?lée” (AOC) regulated brandy from the northern France, “Calvados”. All submitted recipes blind-tasted by Lauren and West Restaurant’s Bar Manager David Wolowidnyk to narrow down the group to the remaining six finalists. Learn more about the event after the jump…

TICKETS | Only a limited number of tickets to the Calvados cocktail competition are available for $30. To purchase tickets via Eventbrite.

About Uva Wine Bar

Enticing cocktails, refined wines, eclectic import beers — Uva Wine Bar, located adjacent to the Moda Hotel, is Downtown Vancouver’s newest enclave for connoisseurs of wines and spirits seeking a sanctuary that caresses the eye as well as the palate. From the finest charcuterie, to artisanal cheeses and to hard-to-find wine selections, indulge in Uva Wine Bar’s cosmopolitan, yet relaxed interpretation of a true Italian ‘enoteca’.

Uva Wine Bar epitomizes the spirit of its location in the heart of Downtown Vancouver’s arts and cultural district. Striking, yet inviting décor sets a bold statement. The elegant modernism of its interior design combined with the building’s historical elements, such as its delicate 1908 terrazzo floors, creates a unique, yet vibrant setting that must be experienced.

Steps away from the Orpheum Theatre, Robson Street, and some of Vancouver’s finest art galleries, Uva Wine Bar is the perfect beginning or end to your night out in the city.
