Karma Exchange

Today for wine and cheese, The Travel Group has decided to dedicate our winedown to a company called Karma Exchange.

Karma Exchange is a non-profit company that joins forces with various business in the lower mainland to raise money and awareness for a partnering charity. Together they help provide education, clean water, and other desperately needed resources to poverty stricken villages in West Africa.

KarmaExchange puts on social shopper promotions where a portion of each product purchased will go directly to helping those in need.

Today we will be featuring two of Karma Exchange’s products, wine from the Marquis Wine Cellar, and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from Cloud 9 Bakery.

Enjoy!

Friday Wine Down - with Beer

Each week The Travel Group has a Friday afternoon Wine down, this week with a beer tasting. It's only $1 donation and all donations go towards the Vancouver Downtown Eastside.
Today, we’re sampling fresh, organic beer with no preservatives or chemicals which David & Cathy picked up while at the Tofino Brewing Company. 

The beer is special because this brewery does not bottle or can their beer.  You can only get the stuff on tap at select restaurants in BC and Washington State, or buy purchasing large jugs called “Growlers” or small ones called “Growlettes.” 

Today, we will have a growler full of Tuff Session Ale and a growlette full of their Hoppin’ Cretin IPA.
