Art & Wine at the Raven





IS your palette refined enough to distinguish between an Austrlian chardonnay and a Canadian pinot blanc? Well if it is, then you would've done well at the Seymour Art Gallery's Art and Wine event. Held at the Raven Pub in Deep Cove, guests were treated to six glasses and invited to take their best guess. It was a great event last Sunday as participants were treated to hors d'oeuvres, dinner, wine, dessert and prizes. An art preview and live auction rounded out this fundraiser which sent everyone home smiling.
