Whistler is a
second home to many North Shore residents who can be seen
partaking in a number of summer and winter activities.
Last
weekend, it was time to welcome winter as the ski hills
opened and so did the wine bottles. "Vino Novello",
which is the brainchild of North Van's Elaine Henderson,
was started at the Chateau Whistler over 10 years ago as
a fundraiser for the Sunnyhill Foundation for Children. This
year guests
gathered
for
fun and paid tribute to years past by celebrating in true
Italian
style. Fantastico! And earlier this month, even more
North Shore residents wend their way north for "Cornucopia
- Whistler's Food and Wine Celebration". The three day
event featured wine seminars, winemakers dinners, Crush -
the gala tasting and various parties like Andre Saint-Jacques'
famous champagne / wine rave at his beautiful Bearfood Bistro
location. Cheers to everyone.
