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?

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.
