Happy International Woman’s Day!
This month, CAPS Manitoba celebrates women with a virtual tasting led by Linda Milagros Violago of Grazing a Trail Consulting.
The truth is the future is now with more women in service as sommeliers, leading wine programs, making wine, and running and/or owning wineries.
We will travel around the world in our glasses to visit these women and their wines:
Mackenzie Brisbois, Canada – Trail Estate Barrel-Fermented Riesling
Elisabetta Foradori, Italy – Az. Ag. Foradori Teroldego
Marelise Niemann, South Africa – Momento Grenache
Marie Thibault, France – Marie Thibault “Premier Nez”
In the spirit of thinking of the future, proceeds from this event will be donated to Villa Rosa. Villa Rosa’s mission is to provide support to mothers, babies and their families during and after pregnancy.
Please email domerrafael@gmail.com to sign up.
March 29th @ 6pm. The cost for CAPS members is $50+GST

Linda Milagros Violago grew up in Winnipeg but could not stop moving (until recent times, that is). She has worked as a sommelier and buyer at top tables in 13 countries, among them Charlie Trotter’s in the US, Mugaritz in Spain, Geranium in Denmark, and many more in between. Sake has often appeared on her wine lists and beverage pairings.
Forever curious, Linda has staged and eaten at even more restaurants around the world, visited breweries, distilleries, and wineries, worked four harvests, and spent a short but grueling stint at a sake brewery.
In this masterclass, you will be introduced to the history of sake and explore the basics of production and appreciation through the lens of many glasses. There will be a range of styles and regions to taste.
This is a trade-only event with a limited number of spots.
NEW DATE! Due to the province’s new restrictions regarding the size of public gatherings, this event has been moved online. THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
Monday, Feb. 22, 1-3pm

In this popular tasting, we use familiar ingredients such as black tea and lemons to explore the tactile sensations of tasting wine such as tannin and acid. Suitable for all levels.
