After a successful launch last spring, organizers of the Dauphin Rotary Book Fair are bringing back the "Wine and Words" event as part of the spring book fair.
The event is set for Friday night from 7 to 9:30 at the 8th avenue hall.
Christine Harapiak with the Dauphin Rotary Club says it is going to be a fun evening.
"We have over 60 wines that people can sample from 12 different countries. There rwill be 14 vendors spread out over 17 tables. We also have some lovely snacks from Irving's Catering - fancy, upscale appetizers such as bacon wrapped scallops and snoked salmon. There are about 5 different types of those."
Those attending will also be able to shop the Book Fair while sampling the wine and appetizers, according to Dauphin Rotary member Jean-Louis Guillas.
"AS you are sampling your wine and appetizers and perusing the books, we will come around and give you a number, which we call book check. So you can keep shopping throughout the evening while you are sampling the wines, and we will put the books aside for you. And at the end of the night, you pay up for your books. It is a lot of fun! When we did this last year, people had so much fun doing this and we sold a lot of books during the wine tasting as well."
This is a ticketed event at a cost of $40 per person, and tickets must be purchased in advance of Friday night.
They are available at the Dauphin Liquor Mart or from any member of the Dauphin Rotary Club.
The book fair continues right through until Saturday afternoon.
