Do you enjoy Christmas, or other holiday, dinner, but would rather not cook it yourself? Why not get the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts make your holiday dinner for you? Their press release is below.
I don’t see any wine listed, but consider BC wines. A nice BC lightly oaked Chardonnay or juicy Merlot would fit the bill. Or go all out and buy BC sparkling wine! This will likely sell out fast as their Thanksgiving offering sold out.
