To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine (and those who don’t). As Ben Franklin once said, In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) – bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop
Wine = Health
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of s***.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information; I’m doing it as a public service.

Our next event will be in September, the annual Wine Walk-about. Details should be available here in August.

See you then.

Monday June 2nd. 2008, 7:00 PM
At de Vine Wines and Spirits, 10111 – 104 Street

Ed Fong of de Vine Wines will be hosting our next event in his fun and funky wine store downtown. This would be a great opportunity for members to share an inexpensive and informal event with their friends who may be considering joining the Australian Wine Club.

Ed Fong, a purveyor of good times and fine wines has joined forces with Tzin Wine & Tapas Bar. Together they have put together an informal evening of libations, comestibles and illumination. Okay, in plain English that works out to be good wine paired with informal food served up with an educational component. Ed’s knowledge of wine is vast and entertaining. Tzin Wine & Tapas Bar has earned a reputation with food critics and patrons alike for their very inventive morsels of food combinations served with appropriate wines. This evening promises to dance on your tongue like a festival of fun and massage your mind like a drinkable dissertation. Okay, a bit of an exaggeration but it sounded good. Come on out for the fun and bring a friend, or two, or three.

Five Tapas matched with Five Wines. Barossa – Clare Valley Dry Rose, Heartland Viognier Riesling, Best Western Sparkling Shiraz, Jesters Shiraz, Cape Barren Shiraz Grenache.

$35 each for members and first guest, $45 for non-members and additional guests
