Last Call for Billy’s Best Bubbles

Check out my Tutored Tasting seminar at the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo THIS FRIDAY from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre.

I’m very excited to be pouring my FAVOURITE CHAMPAGNES & SPARKLING WINES….8 in total. Get your weekend off to a good start. Celebrate the 20th edition of Billy’s Best, or anything else.

While the French promote the sexy aura around Champagne, other regions  have  fashioned their own unique spin on sparkling wine. Such as Italian Prosecco, Spanish Cava and Canadian Sparkling Icewine — which could be the most hedonistic bubbly of all! Included are special selections from iconic Champagne house G.H. Mumm, Nicolas Feuillatte, and a few surprises. Attendees will receive a hot-off-the-press copy of Billy’s Best Wines for 2010 too.

At $70 it’s a steal (and includes admission to the show –$15 value). This will be a fun and uplifting wine seminar – and very special. Get on it.
