Lords of the Dirt: The Quebec Revolution - Drink Seminar
When we think of Canadian wines most of us, if not all of us, think of BC wines. Eric Blouin and Samantha Rahn would like to change that by running this drink seminar that’s focused on wine from Quebec. Quebec has been making wine since 1608 and has often been overlooked since then.
Now thanks to the Quebec wine revolution, there are lots of wines coming out of the province. Pick up a ticket to this event at the Whistler Conference Centre and try them out for yourself.
