Argentina: Breaking New GroundJoin Georgia Straight wine journalist and educator Kurtis Kolt for a virtual tour exploring the flavours of Argentina. Kolt has just returned from visiting several regions of this South American country, and he’s eager to share what he learned about its wine, cuisine, and culture with guests at this sit-down event. Argentinean winemakers aren’t afraid to take risks and try new things, and Kolt has chosen 8 wines from a variety of regions around the country that illustrate how they’re leading the pack in terms of value and sustainable practices. The 3-course menu for the event will be prepared by Chef Leah Brennan of Whistler’s own Wild Wood Bistro.
