Marquis Wine Cellar social media tasting slideshow

Marquis Wine Cellars hosted many social media folk

As social media channels such as Twitter become more influential in creating and solidifying brands, it’s a pleasure to see how those of us who sip and tweet can get behind local businesses.

Recently Marquis Wine Cellars (@MarquisWineCell) hosted a couple dozen folks from the Twittersphere to taste a flight of whites mainly from Europe, a flight of reds also from the old country, paired with delicious cheeses from our favourite folks from Benton Brothers Cheese (@BentonsCheese), and a number of nibblies from the highly creative Louis Gervais Caterers (@LGCatering).

Our thanks to host John Clerides who always makes the customers – in this case the bloggers – feel welcome in his fine establishment. If you’re ever near the corner of Davie & Burrard Street be sure to pop in and pick up some of their recommended selections.

Benton Brothers Cheese is one of our favourite stops in the South Cambie neighbourhood. It’s just steps from the iconic Park Theatre at 18th Avenue & Cambie Street. We always try to stock up on some of what Benton Bros. is selling.
