Looking to help raise money for a worthy cause in the new year? Check out Taste BC on January 15 at the Pan Pacific Hotel. I attended this event in 2011 and found it an enjoyable evening of tastes and conversation.

Together with several prominent BC wineries, craft breweries, and cider makers, this event will feature tastes from Rodney’s Oyster House, Hagensborg Chocolates, Savoury Chef, The Vinegar Lady and others, all in support of BC Children’s Hospital’s Oak Tree Clinic.
