Reflections

The thing about Vancouver is that it rains ALL THE TIME, but it's very beautiful when it's sunny. That is why when the sun comes out, the entire city feels the urgency to spend the day outdoors, doing outdoors-y things and I suppose we can count chilling in a patio as an outdoor activity.

So we decided to hit up a patio-bar called Reflections in the fourth floor of the Hotel Georgia...

This is what it looks like on a sunny day

For drinks, we shared a bottle of Joie Noble Blend, which is a local wine from beautiful BC (Okanagan). This noble blend is a mix of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois and Schoenberger, aka it was sweet (a thousand wine loving souls have probably screamed in pain at that comment). To be honest, it's nice cause it's fruity and refreshing and we like sweet wines. 

Not to mention sweet cocktails. 

Hammer also had a Pimm's cup. 

And a bellini, which we failed to take a picture of. Reflections bellinis are made the old fashioned way, so less on the grenadine and slush and more of the peach flavour true to old fashioned bellinis. We're not going to mention how many we ordered... 

And for food... 

The charcuterie plate... 

Props on the prosciutto flower. The cheese was mostly manchego and I believe that spread with the hazelnuts on top is some kind of mango chutney. We went full out on the manchego-fest by ordering the risotto balls too (below). 

Three manchego risotto balls. <3 

and because everyone was relaxed and had a great time, we stayed all the way into the night. 

There's some wine... oh! and a half-empty glass of those delicious bellinis.
