Vancouver, BC | In what has all the makings of a true bottle royale, Cibo Trattoria will host a one-night-only, five-course dinner and comparative tasting that will pit a number of hand-selected wines from British Columbia against those hailing from New Zealand, France and Italy on Wednesday, October 1 at 6:30pm.

Cibo General Manager/Sommelier Robert Stelmachuk and Executive Chef Faizal Kassam will share the stage with one of Vancouver’s preeminent wine personalities, Kurtis Kolt, as they host the B.C. vs. World ‘Bottle Royale’ Dinner. Named the Sommelier of the Year at the 2010 Vancouver International Wine Festival and one of Western Living Magazine’s Top 40 Foodies Under 40, Kolt is a local wine critic, consultant and judge and was recently announced as the new wine columnist for The Georgia Straight.

“Kurtis is highly regarded as a leading spokesperson for B.C. wine and we’re thrilled to welcome him as guest host of this event,” said Stelmachuk. “Faizal’s focus on farmer-driven dining will also provide the perfect complement as we put the best of B.C. up against the pick of the international crop.”

“I’m excited to be a part of this marquee event,” said Kolt, who has long been a fan of Stelmachuk’s wine programs. “These B.C. wines demonstrate our region’s diversity in terms of terroir, and when paired on an equal playing field they can hold their own against standout wines from similar climates around the world.” Menu after the jump…
