Oenophile: a connoisseur of wines.

Both oenophiles and up-and-coming oenophiles dressed to the nines and came out to the annual Westman Wine Festival this past week.

The two-part event began on Wednesday with a delectable gala dinner, while part two was held on Friday with a public tasting.

The sold-out event not only allows folks to partake in many different flavours and aromas of delicious food and variety of wines, it is also about socializing and having fun.

Most of all, the event supports the Rotary Club of Brandon and the amazing work and significant contributions they make to our community.

Presenting sponsors of this event were The Brandon Sun, Liquor Mart, Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre, CKLQ 880, 94.7 Star, Westman Journal and Westman Communications Group.
