Once again Lawrence has walked the extra mile to stage our most popular annual event. The walk will be a bit shorter but the fun goes on. Lawrence has been working with two outstanding merchants in the Crestwood shopping centre, Satesh of Crestwood Fine Wines and Jeff of Jeffrey’s Café.

You may remember Satesh from our April Event. He supplied and told us about the great St Hallett wines we had then. We are looking forward to seeing him in his store to taste, learn and sample 2 wines and home made appetizers.

9658 – 142 Street Edmonton

Afterward we will skip over to Jeffrey’s Café, a new venue for us, where Jeff will serve us 2 Australian wines from his menu and a choice of two soups and his great Italian sandwich.

The third course remains a secret you will only know if you come to the event…

Time: 7:00 pm Location: 9658 142 St. Edmonton
