27th Annual Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival

Mar 16, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

It was South Africa and Sauvignon Blanc that were the highlights of this year's Playhouse International Wine Festival. Held at various venues across town, the week-long event included seminars, dinners, public tastings and a gala wine auction second to none where the big spenders try to procure some very precious vintage wines for their private collections.


Catherine Barr, Vancouver's celebrity events reporter and photographer, is supported online by CLR Communications Ltd.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
