"Located in a scuzzy back alley in Gastown, Salt Tasting Room is an unlikely destination on Vancouver's culinary map. But this wine bar is a popular spot with local foodies, particularly chefs and kitchen crews."

Choose three meats or three cheeses and three condiments, plus three wines from the extensive wine list or leave the pairings to Salt’s capable wine-aware staff.
