Winefest Edmonton Feb 13 & 14, 2015
One of the great events I forgot to include in my 20 Things to Do in Edmonton for Valentine’s Day was go sample 251 wines from all over the world at 2015 Edmonton Winefest!
Edmonton’s all-inclusive wine event is back at the Shaw Conference Centre on February 13-14. Celebrating its seventh year in Edmonton, Winefest guests get to sample from a wide selection of local and international wines from 15 of the world’s top wine regions. Wine experts are there to share their knowledge and suggest tasting notes.
Sip and savour a delicious selection of hors d’oeuvres from Shaw Conference Centre Catering, The Cheesiry, Dave’s Hot Pepper Jelly, Mojojojo Pickles, and Buttery Bites Caramels. You can also buy some of your favourite finds to enjoy at home.

Malbec and dark chocolate!!!
Chocolate and wine is the best pairing of course!
A nice crisp white with some soft cheese, like a Brie!
Jam Jar’s Sweet Shiraz with popcorn and, of course, a movie!
I am a huge wine and cheese fan. I am always a lover of red wine… malbec or merlot. Lately I’ve been loving some California wines too, like Menage a Trois. As for cheese, I love me some Canadian Oka.
Argentinian Malbec with duck breast!
Figs with blue cheese and a Malbec!
Actually, I like a nice red wine and jalapeño potato chips!
I love Valpolicella!

My favourite wine is the Menage A Trois Midnight.
I lover Evoo oils and vins with a fresh baguette and a rich Malbec! Ps I follow you on the Twitter:)
Favourite pairing Shiraz and gourmet frites and brussel sprouts!
I admit I’m certainly no wine connoisseur. So to be frank, my best pairing is usually the recommendation of the server.

Not an exciting pairing but always so enjoyable and never gets old.
