What a treat this evening will be! We have raided the AWAS Cellar to bring you stellar wines from the 2000 vintage. As a special treat, we have added a special vintage wine to cap off this gala occasion.

We are also fortunate to try a new location - Nu Restaurant! I am sure many of you have dined at Nu, one of Vancouver's premier spots, but this will be a first for the AWAS. We are grateful to Tim Schofield, Restaurant Director, for helping put together a fine menu for our Gala Dinner.
