Hi
"Last week, I ate a plate full of fresh, shucked oysters on ice and had a bottle of Krug... to myself. I'd been cooking for 16 hours straight and I just needed a break. What I Iearned?" - Chef Robin
Food nerd Matt, put it perfectly when I told him about it,
"Sometimes we've got to slow down
and indulge a little in life."
Our next Secret Supper is exactly that.
Oysters and champagne!
Winter's on the way; we need all the excuses for
celebration we can get. (hilarious side note: I just
thesaurus'd "celebrate" and the entry suggests
"make whoopee")
So what the hell, find something to "make
whoopee" about, pop the bubbly, and lets have
fun!
- 5 Courses
- Oyster tasting by the fabulous Curious Oyster Boys
- Champagne Tasting (BYO)
Fri Oct 26, 6:30pm-9:30pm
Location revealed at booking (Vancouver)
$69
This meal will be served family style to facilitate
socializing. First course is all about oysters.
You'll get 3 oysters and be shown how to shuck
without stabbing yourself (harder than you'd
think).
BYO bottle of champagne to share, that way
we'll all get to taste a variety of wines. Robin is a
Sommelier and will lead a "Sparkling wine Tasting 101"
talk.
We're offering 2 private rooms for couples date
nights. They are $99 per person and come with a
complimentary glass of wine from our private
cellar.
You can book here.
And by the way... The combination of oysters
and champagne isn't just to be posh. There is a
reason the two are a classic combination.
You'll discover that something really amazing
happens in the mouth when the right oyster is
paired with the enthusiastic bite of a tight
bubbled, high-acid champagne.
I won't ruin the surprise. Robin's going to explain
that to you at dinner.
Reserve your seats here.
One more bonus...
We've scored you a discount at Liberty Wine
Store on Commercial Drive. Just mention to
them that you're going to a Swallow Tail event.
They'll knock 10% off any wine not listed in a
gov't store and help you choose something nice.
