Vancouver Aquarium Unveils Ocean Wise Canstruction Inukshuk
Last Friday, the Vancouver Aquarium unveiled their Ocean Wise Canstruction Inukshuk sculpture to celebrate the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympic Games and to also raise awareness amongst visiting media and tourists about sustainable seafood choices.
Made of donated cans of Ocean Wise-recommended sustainable seafood (both salmon and tuna), generously donated by Raincoast Trading, the Inukshuk will be on display at the Vancouver Aquarium through February 28th with the food being donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society after the Games. ~ PK
A Most Refined Bourbon
I can say with absolute certainty, that there is no liquid on earth which I have consumed more of than Maker’s Mark Straight Kentucky Bourbon – the sultry redhead having seduced me to the point of helpless and permanent infatuation. No other spirit has quite captured my affection or inspired my cocktail creativity as completely. A year ago, my lucky pilgrimage to the lovely little Loretto distillery confirmed my devotions. You’d think that by now I’d have had my fill; but here I find myself at The Refinery, seated at a Maker’s Mark seminar and tasting, hungry for more.
Sandhill “Winery of the Year” Celebration
There’s something to be said about drinking with the dolphins.
The “Winery of the Year” celebration hosted at the Vancouver Aquarium honouring Sandhill Winery and Master Winemaker, Howard Soon, brought an entirely new meaning to the saying, “drinking like a fish”. There was certainly no shortage of wines to sample at the Monday, January 18th event, which welcomed a gamut of guests ranging from wine reps in their best tight skirts and heels, to the money backers sporting their most recently acquired tans, as well as several local renowned wine educators and media types.
