The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | In celebration of the changing of the seasons­, on April 11th Wildebeest will welcome spring by hosting an intimate dinner with a special guest, winemaker Tyler Harlton. Complementing the delicate flavours of early spring ingredients, the handcrafted, terroir-driven TH Wines will be poured by Harlton to accompany a vibrant six–course meal by Chef Alessandro Vianello. For fans of food and wine this is an evening not to be missed.

“We’ve featured TH Wines on our list at Wildebeest for some time and I’ve always been struck by the honesty and integrity of his wines and process,” says Wine Director Justin Everett. “Tyler’s wines pair so well with our dishes, as they speak for themselves but don’t shout or demand attention. Rather, their subtle qualities allow Chef Alessandro’s food to shine.”

Chef Alessandro’s menu will honour the season’s freshest produce and Wildebeest’s signature proteins, and will be designed to enhance the unique qualities of Tyler’s wines. Dishes will include: Comté Panna Cotta with spring peas, wild foraged greens, preserved mouse melons, and sautéed, pickled and puréed ramps, paired with a 2014 Riesling; Sockeye Salmon Tartare with rhubarb, sorrel, wild ginger, and sprouted fresh chickpeas, accompanied by a 2016 Rosé; and Seared Elk Loin with fermented cauliflower purée, pommes anna, roasted cauliflower, rosemary oil and blackberry jus, paired with TH Wines’ 2015 Cabernet Franc.

Seating is limited, and guests are encouraged to reserve their ticket immediately. Tickets are $140 per person, including tax and gratuity. To book, please purchase via the website: www.wildebeest.ca/events/.

Located in Summerland BC, TH Wines was opened by Tyler Harlton in 2011. Honouring the time-tested practices cultivated as a child on his family grain farm in Saskatchewan, Harlton is known for his “by hand” philosophy, and methods using minimal intervention, which allow the integrity of the grape to be fully expressed. The timeless approach and respect for the handcrafted process is reflected in the high quality of his terroir-driven vintages.
