For the love of wine
PASSERO Restaurant (774 Corydon Ave.) is hosting a special dining event on Monday, Oct. 14, “in honour of drinking wine and eating food,” according to a social media post. The menu includes five cosy shared plates, each paired with a wine chosen by Steven Kotelniski of Kenaston Wine Market. Seatings are at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $222 for two guests; email info@passerowinnipeg.com to reserve a spot.
Cooking by sound
ARE audio cookbooks the next home cooking frontier? Club House (the spice company) has released a Thanksgiving-themed batch of “Culinary Soundscapes” with recipe ingredients and directions narrated by Canadian comedian Gerry Dee. You can listen to and try cooking along to the audio cookbook at clubhouse.ca. Some of the recipes were submitted by the public, including a Pumpkin Parfait in a Jar dessert by Janice from Manitoba.
New local brews on the way
IT appears another new rural Manitoba brewery is getting closer to opening its doors. Located in the Pembina Valley, Blumstein Brewing Co. has been chronicling its progress via Instagram (@blumsteinbrewingco), although there’s no sign of an opening date as of yet.
Updated distillery digs
CAPITAL K Distillery (3-1680 Dublin Ave.) has completed renovations to its tasting room and opened its doors to the public last weekend, with an official grand opening to follow in November. The space has been renovated to give off a cocktail room vibe. Follow their Instagram (@capitalkdistillerywpg) for more updates.
