Two Rivers

A party is always fun and when it includes education and information about fine food, a "behind the scenes" tour, a butchering demonstration, flutes of sparkling wine and a tasty dinner, it can't get much better! We visited Two Rivers Specialty Meats in North Vancouver and following a reception with Blue Mountain Brut and charcuterie to nibble on, we watched a demonstration of beef butchering and toured the back rooms of the business, with Owner Jason Pleym as our guide. Two Rivers now has a small eatery in their shop and we sat down for a family style dinner of Dry Aged Tartare and a tasty Dry Aged Mini Burger paired with a 2015 Pinot Noir from Unsworth Vineyards on Vancouver Island. Next came a Butcher's Salad followed by a Carniboard Selection of Grilled Meats with Vegetables and Sauces and Chipotle Baked Beans paired with a robust 2014 Poplar Grove Syrah. To finish, we were served Tallow Fried Beignets with a Chocolate Raspberry Jam, a decadent ending to a fine evening!
