This interactive activity we will teach you to harness your creativity and develop better stories to tell. Whether they are your everyday stories to a fantasy world you tell your grandkids. Learn from the experts at Disney’s Pixar on how to develop our own unique stories while listening to what inspires them to develop such beautiful films.

From “Grab-and-Go” to Amateur Sommelier
May 27 @ 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM

Ever peruse the aisles of the SAQ looking to try something new but end up buying the same wine you always buy? Have you ever wished you could express your wine tastes better to help you choose? At this activity, we will watch a series of video lectures to learn how to trust and communicate our own taste and aroma preferences. Our professor will guide us through the technical jargon of wineselection to get us on the path to sounding like expert sommeliers.

We can’t venture out to the Ile d’Orleans this year for a proper wine tasting but perhaps a virtual course will help us prep for future excursions.
