And, our exciting news is that Linda has been appointed Calgary Wine Examiner!
Examiner.com is the fastest-growing local content network in US and Canada, and Linda will be writing regular articles on wine and the food to pair with it, especially focusing on wine in and around Calgary! Examiner articles are short and concise, easy to read, local and topical, so there'll always be something new of interest in the wine world!
We'd love to hear the topics you'd like to read about to include in Linda's column as well as value and premium wine picks of the week (and the dishes to pair with them!), interviews with winemakers, listings of all wine events in Calgary (as well as Vine and Dine events) that will be regular features!

It’s been too long since Vine and Dine enjoyed the innovative Indian fusion cuisine at Mango Shiva. Our very first Vine and Dine was at Mango Shiva’s original restaurant in Penny Lane!
Still family owned, Mango Shiva was awarded Best East Indian Restaurant in Calgary by 'Where' Magazine last year, and is gorgeously stylish. Chic feng shui design and dim lighting create a wonderful ambience which, combined with Mango Shiva’s modern, creative and impressive food, make for a tantalizingly flavourful evening!
Enjoy six dishes of this fabulous food and learn about and taste the
six wonderful wines that complement them!
It’s so good that we’re holding Stein and Dine here too on Thursday February 16th
with the same menu but paired with 6 beers!
Only $69 (+gst) per person. To pre-pay and reserve your place you can:
* Ring Linda on (403) 870 9802
* Email her at linda@vineanddine.ca
