Liberty Wine and Oysters

Liberty Wine and Oysters

THERE was a whole lot of schucking going on last week as Liberty Wine Merchants, in association with the Four Seasons Hotel, held its 7th Annual B.C. Wine and Oyster Fesstival. The evening cocktail reception was a great place to taste some of the finest oysters and wash them down with a glass or two or your favourite local wine. All proceeds raised go to benefit the BC Children's Hospital, Oak Tree Clinic, which helps mothers and children with AIDS. Special thanks to all involved for making it an evening to remember.

	The North Shore knows Jamie Kowan and the Burrowing Owl winery very well. After all, they're both a couple of locals.
