Family effort: strawberry cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting. Sprinkles, of course.

The girls post-strawberry pick. Love that there's a playground on site. #latergram

Father's Day breakfast in bed: bacon w/ lemon maple French toast and chopped mango. #latergram

10 lbs of @KrauseBerryFarm strawberries picked on Father's Day. @tinierbites popsicles some.

Fascinated for all of 3s by the jellies. The she ran off to jump on frog stickers.

Links and resources for the 2012 Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival

4 Comments February 28, 2012

Equipped for VPIWF 2012

I’m excited to check out this year’s Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival! 3 months’ gestation is not going to stop me from furthering my wine education, though my tasting notes will mostly be secondhand or drawn from the archives.

Watch this space for spotlights on the Chilean winemakers present at the Festival. Tell me what you want to ask them via comments here, on Facebook, or on Twitter, and I’ll make sure to pass your questions along.

To help you navigate this week-long affair, I’ve compiled and will continue to update my favourite Festival reports and resources below.
