One way to combat the chill of fall and winter is to fight it from the outside-in: pile on the fleece and plant yourself by the space heater.

But what about starting the offensive from the other direction?Maybe, say, with the happy warm glow you get inside from a first sip of wine.

In case you need help with this method, here are some of the events coming up soon featuring wine as the star.  You can experience the elusive successful wine and oyster pairing; taste young and new wines; compare wines made by rival Cougar and Husky winemakers; learn about Port in time for the holidays or get your wine paired with shoes, Tantric sex, a Brass Band, mythology & religion and/or rock and roll. 

In addition to these events, there are always great tastings happening all around the city. In the coming weeks, I'll be adding a new feature to the site to help you track those down in between the big dates, so check back!
