Alan had made reservations for our anniversary dinner at the Wick's main dining room, the Pointe, and after some debate, we decided to try to chef's tasting menu. Here's some pictures of the courses (forgot to do the chicken one -- oops). It was an interesting meal but not one I think we'd do again. The food quality and preparation were excellent -- we just weren't sure about some of the flavor combinations. I did love the strawberries with the malted milkshake and they paired very well with the fortified wine.
I'll say a word about B.C. wines -- they are delicious. We had champagne, pinot gris, pinot noir, riesling, and dessert wines and they all were lovely. Apparently, the cool, moist climate is highly suitable for grape growing and the industry is developing rapidly. On our last night, we met Ike, the wine manager, and he had lots of interesting tales to tell about wineries and tours. Definitely something to think about if you're visiting the area.
