deVine Thoughts

Author: Ed Fong

Despite a two year hiatus and a short window to plan the event, Al Fresco 2015 was an extraordinary success in supporting our charity of choice, Edmonton’s Food Bank.

Together, our community came together and collected over 900 kilograms of food, a figure which wildly exceeded all expectation. ATB Financial, one of our event sponsors, collected 185kg. Carson Integrated conducted a corporate food drive and collected 120kg. The balance of the food was collected from Shoppers Drug Market City Centre East, the residents living in the condominium buildings that line 104th-St and the businesses and merchants. Well done everybody!

Between the online silent auction hosted by deVine Wines and Spirits and various collection points on 104th-St., Al Fresco raised $15,000 for Edmonton’s Food Bank.

Doug Hunter, Resource Development & Community Relations for Edmonton’s Food Bank wrote “We are humbled by your generosity. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!” A cheque presentation ceremony is being planned. We will invite everyone to come down and share this special moment after the final details have been arranged.

The online silent auction was an immense success, probably the most successful auction we have had to date. 91 individuals and businesses donated 107 items to the auction valued at $23,350. $19,450 in bids was made, representing an astounding 83% of retail value. Anyone who has ever been involved with organizing a silent auction will instantly recognize the generosity of the bidders who stepped up. Bravo to you all who bid and supported the auction!

Very special thanks to all the donors who provided such a vast selection of unique items to the auction. It was wonderful to receive so many items which provided experiences for bidders to enjoy, items such as the Dinosaur Dig, hot air balloon flights, dining experiences and hotel stays. Special thanks to Dirk Chan for administering the online auction, Kandice Little for packaging the items and Chris Arnold for reaching out to our many suppliers for support.

Residual auction proceeds of roughly $5,500 were turned over to the 104th-St. Action Committee. The monies will be used to plan future events and fund ongoing community development initiatives.

An event like Al Fresco can only take place when a dedicated individuals, groups and business come together to make it happen. We would like to acknowledge the follow champions for making our community drive to help Edmonton’s Food Bank a huge success.

Elio Altare has and continue to make one of the best Barolos in the Piedmont in northern Italy. Cut into the hills just below the town of La Morra and above the town of Annunziata, this is a lovely winery and their wines are highly sought after and celebrated by the prestigious Gambero Rosso as some of the best in all of Italy practically every year. The estate has won over 30 Gamberro Rosso Tre Bicchieri Awards.

deVine is thrilled to have winemaker Silvia Altare with us to do a vertical tasting of their Barolo. Silvia has been working besides Elio since 2000 and more and more now she runs the show while she continues her father’s innovative approach and relentless improvement in the horticulture and winemaking. While the wines of Altare remain faithful to the elegant and plush style of wine produced in the sand, marl and tufa soils , they contain a freshness and concentration that is a notch above the rest.

All this comes from a strict regime in the vineyards, adopting new vinification and aging techniques in the cellar. The Barolos are amazing and lovely, with an excellent balance of tannins and acid, their fragrance a haunting reminder of what it means to be Barolo – soil, perfume and elegance. The estate practices organic viticulture.

We will feature a vertical of the Elio Altare Barolo’s which are always exceptional and more cru than normale, including 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004 and 2000.

Silvia is offering a very special treat to end our tasting, the rare L’Insieme, a wine that could be loosely termed “Super Piedmont”. The name means ‘together’ in Italian, and refers both to the friendship between eight producers that created this wine, and also to the marriage of traditional local grapes such as Barbera and Nebbiolo with international varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The L’Insieme is an
international superstar, extremely limited and especially brought in for this tasting as a great way to end the evening.

If you love Nebbiolo or would like to learn about this grape, this is a not-to-be missed event of the fall season. You will be thrilled by the arresting nose that changes continuously, and a sensual palate that matches with food brilliantly. There is a reason why Barolo is called the ‘King of Wines’ and the ‘Wine of Kings’. Only 18 spots available for this sit-down Winemaker’s event. You can sign up here..

At deVine Wines, we been working feverishly to help bring back Al Fresco, the 104th-St. block party and fundraiser. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, August 22. Funds raised will benefit Edmonton’s Food Bank and community development initiatives.

Dirk Chan, shared a few of his thoughts with us. “With the downturn in the economy, more and more people are turning to food banks to sustain themselves. We wanted to help the 104th-St. community raise funds and awareness for the Edmonton Food Bank so they can keep doing the great work they are challenged with.”

Here is how you can help us help the Food Bank when you come down to enjoy Al Fresco:

Donate Food

Patrons coming down to Al Fresco can help by bringing food items with them. Food can be dropped off at any of the following locations below. Fresh food can be dropped off at the Farmers’ Market Information Tent located at the intersection of 104th-St. and 102nd-Avenue.

· deVine Wines & Spirits
· Earth’s General Store
· Mercer Tavern
· Shoppers Drug Mart – #62, Edmonton City Centre East
· Edmonton Downtown Farmers’ Market Information Tent

Food can also be dropped off at deVine Wines, Earth’s General Store, Mercer Tavern and Shoppers Drug Mart (Edmonton City Centre East) at any time before the event.

ATB Financial is also accepting food at the following three branches until August 29:

· Edmonton City Centre: D127, 10200-102nd Avenue
· Oliver Village: 11366-104th-Avenue
· ATB Place: #105, 10025-Jasper Avenue

Food Items in Most Need by Edmonton’s Food Bank include:

· Beans with or without pork
· Canned fish or meat
· Baby formula
· Peanut Butter
· Soup
· Pasta & pasta sauce
· Canned fruit or vegetables
· Macaroni & cheese dinners
· School snacks such as juice boxes, fruit cups and granola bar

Please Add to our Wall of Peanut Butter

Ed Fong thought it would be interesting to explore the concept of giving in different ways. When he saw the Food Bank’s “Most Wanted List” and a Shoppers Drug Mart flyer, Ed immediately connected the dots. “I said, why not use my Shopper’s loyalty points and redeem them for the Skippy Peanut Butter that was being advertised. So I walked myself over to Shoppers, cashed in all my points and ordered 100 jars. I’m sure that there are many other loyalty points out there that can be converted to food for those in need. We will have to look into this possibility when we plan the next food drive.”

Please add to our wall of peanut butter being assembled and built at deVine Wines. Bring your jar and let’s see how big and high of a pile we can build together!

Pictured here is Rhys Cordero, one of our young partners in the deVine family. Rhys happens to love peanut butter, as you can see by his enjoyment of his Reese’s Peanut Buttercup. Peanut butter makes Rhys smile. He’s hoping you can help us make a whole bunch of other little kids just a teeny bit happier too!

Quick Fact: According to the Food Bank about 850,000 Canadians use the Fook Bank every month. In Alberta, 43 per cent are children.

Supporting the Online Silent Auction

You can help support Edmonton’s Food Bank and community development by bidding in the online silent auction currently underway. To place a bid, please follow this link here..

If you would like to donate an item to the auction, please contact the store by phone at 780.421.9463 or by e-mail at info@devinewines.ca for more information.

Many of the merchants on 104th-St. will have donation boxes on their premises.

With your help, we can make a difference!

In just less than one month, deVine Wines & Spirits will be hosting a guided sit-down Gin tasting. Gin has not only become a craved bartending staple with a renaissance of the cocktail scene, but has experienced one of the most storied and fascinating histories of perhaps any alcoholic beverage. Don’t believe us? Here’s just a bit of an, ahem… taste.

Did you know:

Did you know gin was originally administered to combat soldiers in the age of colonialism? It was a delivery mechanism for quinine, which reduced pain and inflammation, while combating fever, malaria, and cardiac arrhythmia. Consumption was regimented ritually during the morning call to just before raising the flag, which indicates everything you need to know about how foul these early cordials tasted. Eventually this tonic became a better mix of soda and sugar that turned into today’s ubiquitous gin & tonic.

Did you know that the first product placement on the big screen was for gin? In 1951’s The African Queen, film legend Katharine Hepburn empties and tosses bottles of Gordon’s Gin overboard, informing her sailing companion that “This a dry ship.” Believe it or not, the brand agreed to this!

Keeping with our sailing themes, did you know that Gin became Britain’s adopted spirit when British soldier fighting alongside the Dutch noticed the effects the liquid courage had on the Netherlands’ soldiers when they took a swig before battle. The British of course sailed the spirit home and found that when combined with angostura bitters, the resulting cocktail also made an effective respite to sea sickness. This was Pink Gin.

Did you know that the gin-based Tom Collins cocktail came from a rather silly hoax? Across 1874 New England, strangers at a bar would start a conversation with “Have you seen Tom Collins?” When the listener would reply that they know no such man, the speaker’s goal was to agitate the listener by details the ways Tom Collins was belittling the listener behind his back, and that Mr Collins was just around the corner. The goal was to enrage the listener so much that they would run out trying to chase down this non-existent man. The hoax became so popular that in 1876 the Tom Collins cocktail, comprised of gin, simple syrup and lemon juice, was born in New York City, (probably) based of the same hoax.

“Tom Collins Still Among Us.” “This individual kept up his nefarious business of slandering our citizens all day yesterday. But we believe that he succeeded in keeping out of the way of his pursuers. In several instances he came well nigh being caught, having left certain places but a very few moments before the arrival of those who were hunting him. His movements are watched to-day with the utmost vigilance.” – Article from The Decatur Daily Republican in June 1874.

There’s far more where that came from, in addition to some wonderfully tasty spirits! For more information and to sign up for the devine Guide to Gin tasting on Saturday, August 15th, 2015 at 7:00pm, click here..

In the history of Champagne, wines that were blended for greater sweetness were customarily described as “rich”. Even the 1840s bottles of Veuve Clicquot found recently in the Aland Islands have over 150 grams per liter of sugar. Today Veuve Clicquot propels this tradition into the contemporary era with RICH, a champagne dedicated to mixology.

Bringing a cocktail spirit to a House already known for audacity and innovation, Veuve Clicquot RICH is an invitation to en-RICH the tasting experience with a So Clicquot twist. From mountains to oceans, rooftops to canyons, winter or summer, day or night, Veuve Clicquot RICH is perfect anyway, anywhere and anytime.
This new sparkler, housed in striking silver foil wrapping pattern was created expressly to be combined with a selection of ingredients that bring out the mixologist – no, the Clicquologist – in anyone. The signature notes of the wine are magnified by the presence of selected ingredients: pineapple, grapefruit zest, cucumber, celery, peppers or tea, all on the rocks.

CLICQUOLOGY: THE PERFECT SERVE

1) Place ice cubes in a large wine glass

2) Add one of the recommended ingredients (Celery, Cucumber, Bell Peppers, Pineapple or Grapefruit Zest)

3) Finish with chilled Veuve Clicquot RICH

With Veuve Clicquot RICH, the fruit is boosted to an exciting new level. The signature Pinot Noir of Veuve Clicquot is given a new versatility with a higher dosage, while a greater presence of Meunier emphasizes fresh, fruity and gourmand notes. Citrus and floral notes are found on the palate, which are balanced with the dynamic freshness and creamy finish common to all expressions of Veuve Clicquot.

The Blend:

– Pinot noir 45%

– Pinot Meunier 40%

– Chardonnay 15%

You can taste for yourself this coming Saturday, July 25th from noon to 2pm, as we will be sampling RICH, with the likes of citrus fruit, assorted peppers, cucumber erc. Walk the City Market, view our new RICH window display and then come in for a taste of RICH.

For those who can’t wait, you can purchase it online NV Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Rich (Champagne, France) – $87.99

Al Fresco, the greatly missed 104th-St. community block party is back after a two year hiatus.

Save the date! This year, the event will take place on Saturday, August 22, 2015.

Myron Nebozuk, Chair of the Al Fresco Planning Committee says “After a two year break, I think the community is ready to step forward again to plan another fantastic event. We have heard from so many people asking to bring back Al Fresco that we just had to revive the event. It would be a shame not to.”

Plans are underway to bring you a fun packed day in the heart of our city. Highlights include:

1. Plans to close both ends of 104th-St., running north and south of Jasper Avenue. As the street will be closed to vehicular traffic, restaurants will have additional seating on extended patios that will bring the festivities right onto 104th-St.

2. Bringing together members of the Edmonton food truck community to provide an even greater variety of food options to festival patrons.

3. Programming the street with live music, DJs, street artists, a beer and wine garden and many more fun filled activities.

Once again, deVine Wines & Spirits will be helping the 104th-St. community by managing the Al Fresco 2015 silent auction. You can see the items that will be offered for bid by following this link: http://devinewines.ca/eventAuctions/alfresco_auction.html

Proceeds from the silent auction and participation fees will be used to support community development and the Edmonton Food Bank, whom we have worked with before. We welcome their return in 2015. To learn more about the Edmonton Food Bank, please visit their website at http://www.edmontonsfoodbank.com

Al Fresco 2015 will run concurrently with the Downtown Farmers’ Market on the south end of Jasper Avenue on 104th-St. during market hours. Once the market vacates 104th-St. north of Jasper Avenue, Al Fresco will expand north to 102nd-Ave. Festivities between Jasper Avenue and 102nd-Ave will begin at 5:00 PM.

Please stay tuned for more information. We will be adding details to our blog, website and e-newsletter on a regular basis. Items will be added to the Al Fresco online auction as they become available. Please visit the auction page regularly to see new items and to track your bid.

So, please save the date and tell your friends! Al Fresco is back!
