Maude Sips' pop-up wine events in Vancouver offers women a chance to learn about wine in a casual, welcoming, super-fun environment.
The monthly wine nights curated by Martina Maude serve up intriguing bottles and new friends galore.“Before I moved to B.C., I thought there were three kinds of wine,” says Martina Maude, wryly. “Red, white and corked.”
But a year and a half later, the Ontario import is a self-taught aficionado welcoming other imbibers into the vivacious world of vino with her cult-y cool“When you move to a new place, what do you do? You drink a lot, you go out, you try to meet people,” says Maude.
She stayed up for three nights studying and prepping tasting notes, and crammed a dozen friends and friends-of-friends into her studio apartment for her first blind tasting night. Her approach was, well, approachable, and both the wine and good times flowed. “I led with the intention of, it’s not going to be an intimidating space. You don’t need the right vocab. You’re going to taste and try and just see if you like it or don’t like it,” she says.
