The sound of chiming glasses will likely be one heard very often this weekend during the Best of BC Wines Uncorked, a semi-annual wine-tasting benefitting the Port Moody Arts Centre.
The sip-and-schmooze is being held in support of arts and cultural programs in PoMo and, since 2009, the event has offered new and current releases from wineries around B.C.
For Saturday's fundraiser, more than 100 vintages will be poured from 30-plus wineries like Mission Hill, Peller Estates, Cedar Creek and Inniskillin.As well, there will be a People's Choice wine competition.
"We are asking attendees to choose their favourite red and white wine, and their favourite merlot as the special category varietal theme," organizer John Gerum said in a news release. "Winning wines will received a gold, silver or bronze medal at the end of the evening. We are hoping this will help to engage the guests and the wineries in an enjoyable evening."
Music and appetizers are also on the menu.
