A public service brought to you by Kevin, Barry and and Doug,
three guys who will drink any wine before its time.
Calgary, Banff, and other southern Alberta communities offer so many
wine-related events that no one can reasonably keep on top of them. Hence
this home page, dedicated exclusively to events and other offerings of
special interest to the wine-drinking and wine-selling community of southern
Alberta.
If you know of other wine-related events that you believe should
be listed here, please don't be shy about telling us. Just e-mail the information
to Doug (crapod@askaway.com), fax
to (403) 266-4794 or call Doug at 403-266-5150.
Salut!
