Masi Amarone: Time in a Bottle
2026-03-05 18:30 - 19:30 | BCLIQUOR 39Th & Cambie, 5555 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 3A3, Canada
Costasera Amarone: Masi’s majestic benchmark of Amarone, showcasing appassimento mastery alongside icons like Campofiorin.

Masi Amarone: Time in a Bottle
Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: Costasera Amarone is Masi’s gentle giant. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Masi’s unrivalled expertise in the appassimento technique – whereby traditional grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months, will be showcased across multiple Amarone expressions as well as Masi’s other Icon of appassimento, Campofiorin which launched the Ripasso category in 1964 and has been one of the most popular Italian wines in Canada ever since.

Discover the products featured in the tasting:
AMARONE CLASSICO – MASI COSTASERA : 317057
$69.99
93 Points, James Suckling: “The flagship: 70% corvina, 25% rondinella and a smidgeon of the oft-forgotten molinara for welcome freshness. Only south-west facing hillside fruit is used for the Amarones here, promoting a longer and slower appassimento process. Often the grapes are still on the vine come November, with extended appassimento on traditional bamboo racks. The formidable level of dry extract is consummate across a spread of bitter cherry, amaro bitters and dried herbs, strewn across the long, impressive finish. I like this. A wine for drinking rather than for the mantle. A very good opening act.” (June 2023)

AMARONE CLASSICO RISERVA – MASI COSTASERA 2013: 401315
$89.9996 Points, James Suckling: “Hillside, south-west facing slopes are the source, as always at this address. 70% corvina, 15% rondinella, 10% oseleta and a dash of molinara. Oseleta’s thick, skin-heavy solid-to-liquid ratio serves as a bulwark against a warming climate, imparting tannins and very bright acidity. A fine variety, serving a warming region well while adding a sense of completion to the blend. It is often picked as late as October. This is excellent. Dense as much as it is remarkably sprightly and fresh. Aromas of pine, fennel and layers of maraschino cherry, damson, balsamic, polished leather and high quality bitter chocolate. Finishes pithy, firm and nobly bitter.” (November 2022)

VENETO APPASSIMENTO – MASI CAMPOFIORIN : 155051
$27.99
92 Points, James Suckling: “I’ve always liked this wine, sitting pretty as a double-fermented expression with a lighter framework of tannins melded to the density serviced by the double fermentation approach devised here: fresh wine re-fermented with 30% whole, semi-dried grapes. Notes of cherry amaro, porcini, lilac and riffs on the larger format wood, conferring an earthy breadth to the wine without detracting from freshness. Highly versatile and delicious. Drink now.” (January 2023)

VENETO APPASSIMENTO – MASI BROLO CAMPOFIORIN : 583369
$32.99
92 Points, James Suckling: “Dark berries, chocolate and toasted oak with some black-tea undertones. It’s full-bodied, yet reserved and polished with a pretty texture and soft, round tannins, presented in an less than obvious way. Drink now.”

VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO – MASI BONACOSTA: 285585
$21.99
Made in the historical heart of the Valpolicella region, this wine is a blend of three indigenous Italian grapes, namely Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. It offers freshness on the palate, with good supporting acidity and excellent balance marked by soft and silky tannins. Dry and refreshing, this mild wine makes a great pairing with rich dishes.

PINOT GRIGIO VERDUZZO DELLE VENEZIE – MASI MASIANCO : 244681
$22.99
90 Points, James Suckling: “Lightly spicy, ripe white-fruit aromas and flavors, medium body and a tasty, balanced palate. Enjoy now.” (June 2023)

Free Monthly Ocean Outing at Kitsilano Beach (Rain or Shine, Obviously!)

Join Coach Hélène and the COOLEST pod! ❄️

Join Coach Hélène from The Coolest Journey for a free community ocean outing at Kitsilano Beach, Sat Mar 7, 8 AM. These outings are meant to be a venue for all levels – some of us swim, some of us dip. And many of us socialize too, as fostering a sense of community is the second reason why Coach Hélène offers these outings!
Please register so we can notify you if the event must be cancelled due to sewer overflow. Otherwise, we swim — rain, snow, or shine!
Whether you’re a seasoned cold-water swimmer or simply curious about trying your first ocean dip, this invigorating outing will leave you feeling alive, clear-headed, and ready to embrace the month of February. Bring your towel, warm layers, a ceramic mug for hot tea afterward, and your sense of humour! ❄️🔥

What to Expect
When
The first Saturday of each month
Where
Meet at the Boathouse at Kits Beach at 8:00 AM
What
We head into the water around 8:15–8:20 AM, after sharing a few wise words on pre- and post-dip tips—and usually right after a brief moment of gratitude.

During the Dip
Beginners typically start with a 2–3 minute immersion, gradually increasing their comfort and tolerance over the weeks and months. If you’re planning to dunk your head, please protect your ears by wearing earplugs.
Intermediate and advanced pod members enjoy the water in whatever way feels good to them: dipping, floating, snorkeling, swimming, water running, wave jumping, even handstanding. There’s room for every style of cold-water joy.

After the Dip
Once everyone has enjoyed the water in their own way, we gather for piping-hot fresh ginger tea (bring your ceramic mug—it warms both hands and heart!), good conversation, and plenty of laughter.

After your first ocean outing, you’ll be added to The Coolest Journey email list so you can stay in the loop and keep the cool energy flowing.
If you’re looking for a low-pressure, easy-going pod that blends the joy of cold water with fun, community, and shared laughter—come join us!

About The Coolest Journey
Coach Hélène launched The Coolest Journey in 2025 with the goal of significantly improving the lives of 10,000 people by 2035—helping them break the cycle of physical pain, reignite their inner fire, and reclaim their lives and dreams.

Whether you’re planning a casual potluck on the dock, a sunrise cruise with punch and pastries in the cockpit, or a sunset chat on deck with your favourite crew, it’s a moment to honour the strength, passion, and humour that women bring to the helm of their own lives — and boats.

Bluewater Cruising Women on Water
2026-03-14 00:00 - 2026-03-15 00:00 | Mary Windspear Community Centre, Sidney, bc, 2243 Beacon Avenue, Sidney, British Columbia, V8L 1W9, Canada
The Bluewater Cruising Association “Women on Water” is March 14 to 15th, 2026, at the Mary Windspear Centre in Sidney, BC. An event to create space for women, power or sail, whether you run a 28-foot express or a 58-foot motor yacht, to deepen your skills, compare notes, and build real confidence. Not performative confidence. The kind that shows up when the wind pipes up at the fuel dock, or a pump makes a sound you’ve never heard before.
What I love most is the range of experience in the room. Some attendees are newer to boating and hungry to understand systems, navigation, and weather patterns. Others have logged thousands of nautical miles and simply want to sharpen their knowledge or connect with other capable women who understand the rhythm of life afloat.
It’s not about excluding anyone. It’s about learning in an environment where questions are welcomed, and curiosity is respected.
We talk about boat systems, electrical, water, and sanitation, because understanding how your boat works changes everything. We talk about handling lines, reading conditions, and making decisions. And we talk about perspective. Because boating isn’t just mechanics. It’s a mindset.
When women understand their boats, they move differently onboard. They make calmer choices. They trust themselves. And that confidence ripples outward, to their partners, their crews, and their communities.
There’s also something deeply reassuring about shared experience. Dock stories. Near misses. Lessons learned. The laughter that comes when you realize you’re not the only one who once forgot to switch the battery selector.
Women on Water isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming more fully yourself at the helm.
And that, in my opinion, is where the real magic lives.
