Amici's Wine Tasting

Amici's Wine Tasting

RED or white, take your pick and test your taste buds. On Feb. 5, West Vancouver's Amici's Italian Restaurant held a special wine tasting with the proceeds going to a very special cause. The Harvest Project, which gives people a "hand up" not a "hand out", benefitted from the event which saw guests sampling a variety of vintages from as far away as Argentina and as close as Saturna Island. Fabulous food helped cleanse the palette inbetween tastings. A fun night that the owners hope to continue on as an annual event.

	Little nine-month-old Gabriela was delighted to attend the event with her mom and dad, namely restaurant owners Victor and Celia Campos.

	Connie Organ, from Cascadia, was busy keeping glasses full of Sandhill chardonnay.
	Victoria Kilpatrick, from the Delf Group, offered guests a choice from her Spanish, Agentinian, German or Italian wines.
	Diane Reese and Mark Haggerty got engaged at the restaurant and are planning on holding their wedding reception there too.
