The Vancouver Playhouse International
Wine Festival celebrated it's 25th anniversary this year
by inviting some of the biggest names in wine from all over
the world. Rothschild, Tyrrell, Blass and more were seen
raising glasses with guests and dignitaries all week long
in a fabulous series of events and tastings that took place
throughout the city. There were some spectacular moments,
and some even more spectacular memories, just see for yourself.
