Oh, I get it, Vancouver! There's not much I love more than socializing in a bustling room with glass in hand and revelry in the air.
The pandemic quashes any semblance of the traditional holiday party or seasonal get-together, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the spirit of the season!
Whether you're looking for a virtual corporate shindig, or a casual Zoom meet-up with pals, I'm more than happy to lead a wine tasting for you and yours, from a small handful of you to upwards of 100 people. For certain groups, there could always be an option to loop a winemaker in the mix, too!
Drop me a line at Kurtis@KurtisKolt.com - I can facilitate your needs, and help arrange everything from wine to glassware to food parings and more!
The possibilities are endless since it's possible now to enjoy food from most of our favourite Vancouver restaurants in the comfort of your own home.

Say Cheese!
Let's gather an array of artisanal cheeses from all around British Columbia from our friends at Benton Brothers Fine Cheese at Granville Island, then pair 'em up with the best of British Columbian wines. From traditional method sparklers to zippy pinks and rich reds, we can tuck in to citrusy goat cheeses, aged cheddars, smoked goudas, and more.

The Taco Party
Well, we ain't heading to Mexico this year, so let's keep it casual and have Mexico come to us! We'll lay out a bunch of Tacofino's finest (Crispy Chicken Tacos w/ cabbage, pickled vegetables, buttermilk chili crema & chimichurri? Bake it Yourself Nachos w/ roasted jalapenos, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, feta, salsa fresca &chipotle crema?), and we'll do 'em up right with juicy orange wines, lively pinks & zesty reds.

Bubbles & Brunch!
How about ordering favourite daytime treats from our friends at Medina, like a little Cassoulet (2 Sunny Eggs, Medina Bacon, Andouille Sausage, Saucisson de Paris, White Beans, Red Wine, Roma Tomatoes, Grilled Focaccia), or their legendary Liege Waffles w/ Milk Chocolate Lavender or Fig Orange Marmalade? We'll pop some corks, tasting through Italian Proseccos, Spanish Cavas, French Champagne & more.

Tapas, Tío Pepe, Tempranillo, Oh My!
The crew over at Como Taperia offer plenty of Spanish-inspired, good-time fare. Think Chorizo Iberico Bellota, Spanish paprika mackerel or briney razor clam tinned conservas, Marcona almonds, and anchovy-stuffed almonds. We can put our a good spread, then pair 'em all up with a host of Spanish favourites from aromatic Rías Baixas white, to rich, red, Riojas, to the wonderful world of Sherry, and beyond...
