Artisan French wines meet Saskatchewan cuisine
By Joan Janzen
KINDERSLEY – The Kindersley Rotary Club has planned an exciting Food & Wine Pairing event, which will take place Nov. 22 at the Norman Ritchie Community Centre. This year’s theme is Artisan French Wines Meet Saskatchewan Cuisine.
“The local caterer, Ali Haider, has teamed up with a wine expert who will represent the pairings and give a description of each wine as presented with the food course,” said Tom Morris, president of the Kindersley Rotary Club.
Kindersley’s 14 members, along with their Interact group and catering staff, will help serve the courses. They are also providing non-alcoholic beer and wine for anyone who prefers that option.
“We will have over 40 silent auction items, a raffle, a door prize and 50/50 tickets,” Morris said. He noted that one of the areas of focus this year for the group is education and literacy.
They will fund three local scholarships and send two to four local students to leadership camps this summer. The club is also exploring the possibility of sending an exchange student abroad.
“We have done this before and it’s an amazing experience for the lucky student who goes to another country,” he added.
Tickets for the Food & Wine Pairing are available at Garden Gallery or from Tom at 306-430-4446 or Kathy at 306-460-4739 (Rotary members).
