Amici Wine Tasting

WEST Vancouver's Amici Restaurant, in support of the North Shore's Harvest Project, held an intimate wine tasting on Tuesday July 16 celebrating all the tastes of summmer. As always, the stylish Marine Drive locale offered up lots of flavours to savour as guests got the opportunity to sample wines from all over the world. Lots of great food was offered too as the cordial hosts passed around sample plates of gourmet Italian eats. It was the perfect occasion to celebrate and to help raise some money for an organization who relentlessly works to break the poverty cycle by giving "a hand up, not a hand-out".
