A Visit to Savi's Wine Shop on Pollock Street

  

Excerpt from a letter to a friend in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

"Last Friday night, Nancy, Danielle and I attended a wine tasting at Savi's.  Savi's is located on Pollock Street in the John Horner Hill House (built 1770) and is purportedly haunted.  The wine was excellent with the extra flair of our being raconteured with our wine histories by Manuel, a certified Italian with a wonderful accent.  That was a nice touch.  The food okay, though the French Onion Soup was delectable. I suspect the soup had a beef base but am afraid to know the truth about that.  The dining room accommodated 16 people so we had a cozy experience. 4 men were at a  table in the corner and the other tables were filled with repeating customers."
