Nov. 22/05 – Vancouver
Last night I was honoured to be a guest at Rob Feenie’s Lumiere restaurant. As part of his ten-year anniversary celebrations, Rob hosted a dinner celebrating this year’s winners of BC’s Lieutenant Governor’s wine awards.
Before the dinner, the Lieutenant-Governor herself, the Honourable Iona Campagnolo arrived and swept through a casual receiving line. As I introduced myself she said to me, ‘Don Genova! I’ve shared many a breakfast with you!’
I was very flattered to realize she is a regular listener to Pacific Palate on CBC’s The Early Edition.
The only downside to the evening is that I have a wicked headcold and could not smell or taste any of the excellent wines served!
Watch this space for news of another cookbook contest coming up tomorrow.
