New Club Member Business Opening -- September 10/11

Fellow Club Member, Ian Searle, is having the Grand Opening of his new store in Sherwood Park on September 10th and 11th from 11AM to 8PM.

Sublime Wines, located at #104, 160 Broadway Blvd (look for Fulton Market Burgers and it's in the same building, just to the east) in Sherwood Park is a boutique wine store that will present new and different wines, spirits and beers as well as offering a unique wine tasting room with a lounge and fireplace.

Ian would like to invite everyone to the store during those days for samples, opening specials and door prizes.
