Guest Speaker Moni Schiller

for Glitter and Gold- a Festive Wine Tasting

Thursday, December 6, 2007

7PM - 9PM

 

The BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop will finish off another year of its
highly successful Wine Education Series of Tastings (WEST) with a toast to
the festive season. Join the BC Wine Museum on Thursday, December 6th at 7
PM for Glitter and Gold, a celebration and sampling of an assortment of
bubbly wines, ice wines, and late harvest wines. Tickets are $20 for Kelowna
Museums members and $25 for non-members. Reserve your tickets today by
calling (250) 868-0441. The WEST series is a wine education program designed
to educate and unveil the perception of wine in a fun, interactive, and
casual environment while combining the natural elements of food and wine.


 

The BC Wine Museum is pleased to welcome guest speaker Moni Schiller,
founder of Nuttier than a Fruitcake and baker of fruitcakes that have become
an Okanagan holiday staple. Moni has been hand-baking each batch of
fruitcakes since 1996, when she decided to take her passion mainstream. Her
fruitcakes are sold by wineries, wine shops, and artisan shops throughout
the Okanagan and contain rich, high-quality ingredients, making them ideal
to be enjoyed with fine wines. "This cake looks gorgeous- like a slice of
jewels- and tastes like heaven," Moni says. Come taste for yourself on
December 6th when we will sample cakes from Nuttier than a Fruitcake
together with wines from the VQA Wine Shop.

 

All WEST programs are hosted by Julianna Hayes, a celebrated BC wine
educator, and held at the BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop, located in the
historic Laurel Packinghouse at 1304 Ellis Street (corner of Cawston &
Ellis) in Kelowna's Cultural District. The BC Wine Museum is a satellite
facility of the Kelowna Museums Society, a registered non-profit society.
Proceeds from WEST and other Museum functions are used to strengthen Museum
collections and expand services to the community.

 

For tickets and information on WEST events, please call the BC Wine Museum &
VQA Wine Shop at 250-868-0441 or email at Wine@KelownaMuseums.ca.  Visit our
