Free Spirit Vancouver","description":"No\/Lo spirits, wine, cider, and beer have been "trending" for many years now.  The search for wine and beer replacements has always been there.  A number of producers began to find results after they made their wine and beer, then stripped the alcohol out and substituted the taste with other elements. Fruit, tea, spices, etc.  Suddenly, some of the replacements tasted even better than the originals.   Kurtis Kolt, sommelier and wine educator, wine judge, and co-founder of Top Drop Vancouver, has organized a second Free Spirit Vancouver.      The first was in January of this year, when he hosted 10 vendors pouring, collectively, just under 20 brands. Monday, Dec 8, 630-830, Heritage Hall  3102 Main Street Free Spirit Vancouver will have almost 60 producers pouring no\/lo.   That, my friends,  is called "Trending" with a capital T.   Please check out the free spirit link below to see the producers' list and to follow along with Kurtis Kolt's interview. Be sharp, he motors through a lot of labels and tastes.   Merry no\/lo Holidays     www.freespiritvancouver.com  www.kurtiskolt.com  https:\/\/www.kurtiskolt.com\/p\/free-spirit-a-sauv-blanc-duo-featuring   Original feature can be found on www.TastingRoomRadio.com ","author_name":"Mulligan Stew","author_url":"http:\/\/www.mulliganstew.ca\/","html":"
