GUSTAVE CHOPHOUSE AND BAR - JANUARY 26, 2016

We are here at the new Gustave Chophouse and Bar enjoying California Reds and Whites presented by Chris Price of The Vine.  Chris has a great portfolio of consignment wines and we tasted 2 whites and 4 reds.  All delicious! Good job Chris! And of course there is a world of difference when Casey of The Cheese Gallery in Thornbury pairs  her specially selected cheeses with our wines.  It is the "go to" place for most of our Winetasters of Collingwood members now! For information on contacting Chris or Casey please contact me.

NEW ZEALAND TASTING OCTOBER 14, 2015 OLSERBROOK, ROBERT KETCHIN AND CASEY THOMSON OF THE CHEESE GALLERY IN THORNBURY



Despite the 5th game for the Jays (which brought them a wonderful victory) we all enjoyed a very informative and interesting evening tasting 3 Pinot Noirs and 5 Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand accompanied by select cheese from The Cheese Gallery.  The tasting was followed by a delicious dinner created by Brandi and her extremely efficient staff at OslerBrook.  The venue cannot be beat!  Don't miss the next tasting Tuesday November 17, 2015 at Sisi On Main in Thornbury.
