Mates on Crates: feat. Reverie Beall
G’day,
Those in the know, know where to go.
Today, we’re excited to announce our latest episode of Mates on Crates, featuring Reverie Beall, Assistant General Manager and Wine Director at Annalena—and recipient of the Exceptional Sommelier Award from the Michelin Awards 2024. As one of Vancouver’s finest dining institutions, Annalena continues to evolve, pioneering the city’s tasting menu scene and pushing the boundaries of food and wine pairings. It was fantastic to chat with Reverie about her journey, deep passion for wine, and favorite spots around Vancouver—check out the episode below.
