I'm just wild about Harry - and his Suman Ridge wines. But now, the founder of one of Canada's first estate wineries is stepping down to pursue other interests. Harry McWatters, who helped found the British Columbia Wine Institute, Wines of Canada, VQA Canada, the BC Wine Information Society, was honoured by friends and special guests aboard the Magic Charm during a special Bon Voyage Sumac Ridge cruise celebration. But Harry fans needn't worry - he'll still be around as he plans on working as a consultant and towards establishing the Okanagan Wine Academy. Also this week, the BC Lions roared into action cheered on by the gang at Rob Ward's Players Chophouse on Beatty. A special celebration party and fashion show helped kick-off the season in style. And lastly, congrats to everyone at Yaletown's Goldfish restaurant on their first anniversary. Their fabulous food has made a big splash on the scene and by the looks of things, everything is progressing swimmingly.
