I ONLY DRINK RED: A VINE ARTS TASTING
"I only drink red" might be the most common wine comment heard here in Alberta, but with the calibre of our beef and an average of thirteen months of winter annually, it's hardly surprising. The variety within the category is astounding, from svelt and tangy to luscious and monolithic. Vine Arts is hosting a tasting to discuss how red wine is actually made (did you know Cabernet Sauvignon has white juice?!) and all the factors that affect style and flavour (stems, maceration, oak?!) through a tasting including Juice Imports' most delicious and delectable red wines. Erik, co-owner of Juice Imports, will be on hand to answer all your questions.
Tickets through the Vine Arts events page.

Juice Turns Seven!! (YEG Edition)
It doesn't seem possible, but Juice Imports will turn seven years old in a few weeks. It's been one heck of a fight the last few years, but Juice still wriggling. The passion for regenerative farming and transparent winemaking hasn't decreased, but the taste for bureaucracy has certainly been pushed to its limits. We're worse than ever at predicting what people like, but we couldn't be more proud of our assembled portfolio. We truly get to work with the most talented winemakers on the planet! To celebrate, our good friends at Highlands will be hosting a birthday session; Erik will fly back to Alberta to share stories highlighting the most sought-after wines in the Juice arsenal.
Rhone Rager @ Color De Vino!
Color De Vino presents Rhone Rager, - let Erik of Juice Imports showcase new portfolio releases from the Rhone.

It's arguably Erik's favourite region on earth, so expect an overly excited presentation!!
