Entertaining is the essence of the
hospitality business, says Deluxe
Chef Jeremy Duke
Are you entertaining a trip abroad?
We have a few suggestions for a
memorable holiday.
Welcome to the fi rst issue of Indulge for 2014, and congratulations on
making it through another winter.
I, for one, couldn’t be happier that it is
now spring in the Lower Mainland – at least
according to the calendar – and am very
much looking forward to longer days, warmer
temperatures and more frequent appearances by
the sun.
Of course, I’m well-aware that anyone reading
this outside of B.C. – or even outside Metro
Vancouver – would probably come after me
with pitchforks gleaming. After all, it has been
a season full of brutal weather for the prairies,
eastern Canada and the Maritimes.
But the relief that comes with the start of
spring is about more than just weather – it’s
about feeling revitalized at the signs of new life
sprouting up around you, looking forward to a
hot summer full of fun and getting out of the
house after several months of quasi-hibernation.
So what better time of the year to celebrate the
people, the places and events that entertain us
here in the Lower Mainland?
Knowing that we’ve got a huge pool of talent
in our own backyard, Indulge is profi ling some
of the community’s hottest entertainers, from
some up-and-comers to keep an eye out for, to
entertainment veterans.
We take a trip to one of
the city’s entertainment
destinations – Granville
Island – to showcase some of
spring’s hottest fashions.
Our food writer Jason
McRobbie explores a tasty
hot spot on White Rock’s
popular East Beach, with delicious results.
We look at some ways of creating the ultimate
in a home entertainment space, as well as offer
tips of where to travel if you’re craving a little
extra culture on your holiday.
And our wine writer, John Schreiner, shares his
insight into celebrity-owned wineries around
the province and beyond.
On a personal note, the excitement of
springtime is a little heightened this year for
me and my family, as we are welcoming baby
number two into our household.
As I will have my hands very full with a new
little one, plus an energetic two-year-old, I’m
pleased to be handing Indulge over to Terry
Farrell, who will be running the show for the
next year.
I look forward to seeing some of the great
stories that Terry will be sharing on the pages
of Indulge in the coming months – until then,
enjoy our spring issue, I hope it keeps you
thoroughly entertained.

While locals have long come to White Rock’s East Beach for the fi sh, chips and view — all of which
hold their charms — chef Jeremy Duke had always been entertaining something a bit more upscale, or “Deluxe,” on the strip.
For the past fi ve years, his vision has found a warm embrace at the aptly named Deluxe, just one door away from where he fi rst stepped into the kitchen at age 15 at Moby Dick’s Fish and Chips.
And while Moby’s remains a solid lure to the waterfront, Duke’s take on fi sh and chips is decidedly different — house-smoked sockeye salmon served with baked yam and beet chips — as is every ‘classic’ dish that
spins out of his busy kitchen in the 90-seat Deluxe.
With a fi rm focus on fun, Duke and Deluxe are fi nding favour with fresh fl avours and twists on tradition at every turn. Phyllo wrapped mashed potatoes, anyone? Seriously good fun and as fi ne a dining destination by night; the lunch crowd is brisk.
Part sleek lounge, part patio and a wholly-intimate, ocean-view dining room atop, Duke’s homage to tradition holds to the ethos of innovation throughout, drawing foodies from near and far.
Underpinning it all is a grounded appreciation of what matters most—the guest experience.

For Duke, entertaining is what life has been
all about, so unsurprisingly, he has a healthy
stock of tips for home cooks – tips that
continue to serve him well, day and night.
“For starters, you have to give yourself a
chance to shine like a rock star,” he says. “And
that begins with giving yourself the luxury of
time. All that takes is a bit of thinking ahead,
gathering your ingredients with simplicity in
mind, and getting as much of the work done
ahead of time as possible.”
A quick glance within Duke’s kitchen
confi rms he very much practises what he
teaches: His mise en place for our Indulge visit is prepped and immaculate. Not only do
the white ramekins of assorted slice and dice
bear the measured uniformity of a pro, the
presentation actually begs one to get cooking.
“Entertaining is supposed to be fun for the
guests and the hosts alike. If you’re stuck in
the kitchen the whole time that is not going
to happen,” he says with a glance at his prep.
“This way, the real work is done, the stage is
set and you get to make magic by bringing
it all together with a few quick fi nishing
touches.”
Bearing in mind that Duke holds court with
as much comfort from behind the bar as in the
kitchen, he brings the same
ethos to crafting cocktails.
“Keep it simple and
uncluttered. My idea of
a perfect recipe is one
where there are just three
ingredients and you can taste
them all. That’s where the
magic happens.”
With over two decades of
‘entertaining’ experience
under his belt, he knows
of what he speaks. As past-
president of the Junior
Chapter of the BC Chefs
Association, he achieved his
Red Seal certifi cate and went
on to explore every facet
of restaurant operations.
Whether previously working his way up
through the Earl’s group, apprenticing with
the esteemed chef Bruno Marti or crafting
opening menus for other people’s dream
restaurants, chef Duke has never been more in
his element than at Deluxe—almost.
“I am really looking forward to summer. I
love working with fresh fruits,” he says with
a somewhat wistful look at a shoreline yet
fringed in snow for our February shoot. “The
sunshine is what people really fl ock here for,
so we try to keep a bit of that year ’round.”
As a chef, he appreciates the sustenance
offered by winter ingredients, but his heart is
fi rmly fi xed on the seasons ahead.
“For me, spring is summer. Once it arrives,
everything is just that much more available.
We have our local
suppliers and always think
local, but that is more of
a challenge in the winter
months.”
Of course, there is
also the fi ne, local,
house Pinot Noir to be
savoured year ’round,
compliments of Langley’s
Vista D’oro Farms and
Winery. Their tie to that
particular bottle and
winery stems both from
a mutual appreciation
and the efforts of one of
their staff, who works
alongside winemaker/
co-owner Patrick Murphy
to bring their bottles an added authenticity
of experience. Deluxe already has three more
tons of grapes on order for next year’s vintage.
Regardless of season, thanks to an inspired
vision, a committed team and an ongoing
series of Wine Club Dinners, the Deluxe
treatment has never been so within reach of
the beach in White Rock.

Remove 1 whole or 2 tails lobster fl esh from shell. Simmer on stovetop in butter for 10 minutes on lowest heat setting (170 F)—or boil in the traditional manner. Remove and chill.
In a mixing bowl combine avocado, sour cream, cumin and lime juice—mash until smooth. Add mango, pineapple, jalapeño, green onions and cilantro—fold gently until fully incorporated. Season with sea salt to taste.
To make the crispy tortillas, bring 1/4 cup olive oil to 350F on stove top in frying pan.
Slice fl our tortillas to desired chip size (ie. 1 tortilla = 6 chips). In two batches, fry tortillas for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, turning once. Remove, drain on paper towel and season lightly with salt. Reserve at room temperature.
Remove lobster from fridge and slice into 1/2” rounds. Scoop 2 Tbsp of guacamole atop each chip and top with a round of lobster. Sprinkle with sea salt.

T he Lower Mainland arts and entertainment talent pool getsdeeper at every turn.
It’s no wonder. With Vancouver being widely regarded as “Canada’s Hollywood,”it’s the place to be for fl edgling and renown celebrities alike.
From homegrown talent, to adopted sonsand daughters, there is never a shortage ofstar power in Vancouver and area.
In this issue of Indulge, we caught up witha few of the community’s personalities.
Greyston Holt takes a bite out of TV
There's a rising star in our midst, and he
can be seen on Space channel.
Twenty-eight-year-old Greyston Holt
has landed his own television series.
The Calgary-born, Salt Spring Island-raised
actor has the lead role in Bitten, a show based
on the fi rst book of Canadian author Kelly
Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series.
Holt plays Clayton Danvers – a werewolf.
It's somewhat of a full circle scenario for
Holt, whose fi rst role in front of the cameras
was in the 2004 teen horror fl ick Sisterhood, a
movie about vampires.
"Yeah, a low-budget, cheesy horror fl ick, but
it got me started," said Greyston of Sisterhood,
his fi rst "big break" in the industry.
To say acting has been
a lifelong dream of
Greyston's would be
a stretch. It wasn't
even on his radar
until he was on the
verge of adulthood.
“I guess I fi rst got
into acting in my
senior year of high
school. I needed
another credit in arts
so I took a (drama)
course. It kind of
grew from there. I
had done a little bit
of modeling growing
up, but nothing other than that.”
After fi nishing high school, he moved to the
Lower Mainland to pursue his career.
His mom, Nancy, followed shortly thereafter,
moving to White Rock where she owns and
operates the boutique store, She's Some Kind
of Wonderful.
“I never pressured him into anything – I’ve
always been supportive of whatever he has
done,”’ said Nancy. “The acting, he sort of just
fell into it. He entered a contest and won top
adult talent for acting and so from there, we
just pursued that avenue. He did a little from
Salt Spring, for about a year, then I said ‘OK
you need to go to the Mainland to pursue this.’
I was behind him all the way.”
Greyston, who already has three dozen
movie and television roles on his resume,
credits his agent, Kathy Carpenter (KC Talent),
with landing him what he calls the biggest role
of his career to date.
“She’s great,” he said of Carpenter. “She put
together a package and sent it off to Toronto
and we got the call. From the fi rst
contact to getting the role,
the whole process took
about a month and a
half.
"Defi nitely, having
the lead in a series,
this is the highlight
of my career so far.
Hopefully it leads
to bigger things
yet."
Greyston said
that although he
was unfamiliar with
the Armstrong series
prior to auditioning
for the role, he became
intimately acquainted with
story as soon as he heard he was to be
involved with the show.
“It's not really my kind of read, but once I
was cast I read the book and it was a real page
turner. I got through it in no time," he said.
The 13-episode Season 1 covers the entire
plot of Bitten.
The television writers are already working
on a second season of Bitten, which Greyston
says will follow Book 2 of the Women of the Otherworld series (Stolen), at least to a certain
degree.
Greyston said he would return as Clayton
Danvers, if asked.
“Oh yeah. It's been a great experience."
Bitten can be seen Saturdays at 6 p.m. on
Space.
Dear Rouge climbing the charts
If you haven't heard of Dear Rouge by now,
turn on your radio.
The Surrey/Vancouver-based duo –
comprising the husband-and-wife-team of
Drew and Danielle McTaggart – is one of the
hottest up-and-coming acts on the Canadian
music scene and all indications are that the
best is yet to come.
Dear Rouge is taking the Canadian airwaves
by storm, with its latest single.
“We just found out (in February) that we
are No. 6 on the Canadian rock-alternative
charts,” said Drew. “It just keeps growing. It
has already far exceeded our expectations.”
Dear Rouge’s debut album is slated for
release later this year.
The album's fi rst single, I Heard, I Had, is
the one currently making all the noise on the
music scene. The plan is to release a follow-up
single, Best Look Lately, in the coming months,
then release the album.
“It will be our fi rst full-length album,” said
Drew. “We have done a couple of EPs, which
are three- or four-song demos, per se. We are
hoping to release the album sometime this
summer. We don't have a lock-down date yet.”
The McTaggarts can only hope that Best Look Lately draws the same kind of attention as I Heard I Had has done.

“It’s been really amazing to see Canadian
radio jump on it,” Drew said of I Heard I Had.
“Right across the country, all the way to
Halifax, there are stations in every city playing
us. So it has really been helping the band out,
especially on the East Coast. And now it’s
starting to make its way into the States, too.”
The upcoming album is not only a
progression in length, but also in the product
itself.
“People can expect to hear something that is
more mature and deeper than our (previous)
stuff, but it’s still
very much who
we are,” Drew
said. “We have a
song on it called
Black to Gold
(tentative title
track) and that's
a song that we
are really proud
of and we can’t
wait to show
people.
“Ultimately,
with a full
album, you have
a longer amount of time with the listener,
so you can try different things. Whereas the
four-song EPs we put out are kind of quick,
this has (more to it). I like to compare it to
a longer conversation. We get to do deeper
songs, slower songs. l try some different stuff,
because we will have 10 or 11 songs on the
album.”
The McTaggarts’ musical infl uences are
varied.
From the mainstream, such as Beck, to the
upbeat sounds of Phoenix, to Australian folk
band The Middle East; an eclectic array of
sounds that lends itself to a wider spectrum
of creativity when it's time for Drew and
Danielle to put their own notes on paper.
There are also some Canadian infl uences.
“Metric, I have always really liked, and I
really enjoy Sam Roberts’ new album, so we
are defi nitely infl uenced by a lot of
different sounds,” said
Danielle. “But I would
say that the closest
sound for us in
our own personal
music is The
Killers and The
Yayas… and we
get compared to
(American duo)
Phantogram quite
a bit.”
Drew and Danielle
have known each
other for many
years through mutual
friends, but music and their similar creative
ambitions are what brought the two of them
together.
“I was in an indie-rock band, and Danielle
was in a singer/songwriter-type with a solo
project,” refl ected Drew. “My band wasn't
doing much and Danielle, with her singer/
songwriter stuff, I could see she is a really
energetic person. So I was like ‘we have to
make a higher-energy sound – a more pop-
rock, in-your-face-type music.’ So I convinced
her to come out to Vancouver to try a song.”
The project – and the couple’s personal
relationship – blossomed from there.
The band is currently on a one-month,
10-city tour, playing 300- to 500-seat rooms,
reaching audiences from Vancouver to
Montreal.
A gig at a Vancouver Canucks game – playing
pre-game and intermission for the fans –
ranks among the band's highlights to date.
“I called my mom and told her that I could
totally get used to this – playing a rock show
in front of 18,000 fans,” said Danielle.
They are on the right track.
Harvie becomes two-faced for TV
Ellie Harvie is relishing her latest role, as
antagonist Candace Wheeler in the new
teen comedy Some Assembly Required.
It’s a chance for her to show off her greatest
asset: comedy.
After playing the “straight man” role, as
Morticia, in The New Addams Family, this new
role is pure escapism for the South Surrey
actress.
“I get to do all the stuff that I watched
Gomez and Uncle Fester do,” she said in a
recent interview with Indulge.
“When I was Morticia I just stood there
and watched those guys … doing the sword
fi ghting and fl ying in on lines and it was, like,
‘I want to do that’. So in this show it’s hilarious
because I get to fall into net traps and I get
pies in the face, and I get to do all the crazy
stunts and nutty stuff that happens to the
goofy adult. It’s pretty fun.”
Fun, and a far cry from the typical career
associated with Ellie’s post-secondary
education.
She moved to Vancouver to pursue an acting
career after attaining a political studies degree
at the University of Manitoba – not exactly the
line of work one would immediately link to
such a degree.
“I didn’t come from a show-biz family
– I always wanted to do it, but university
education was always really important to
my mother so I knew I had to get something
under my belt, and a theatre major was not
even an option back then,” Ellie said. “The
last year of (university) I took some theatre
classes… and it was really up my alley. My prof
at the time, George Toles, told me I should
audition for the (Vancouver) Playhouse so I
did and I got in.
“Had he not said that, I would probably be a
lawyer. So I have him to thank.”
It’s been really amazing to see Canadian radio
jump on it. Right across the country, all the way to Halifax, there are stations
in every city playing us. –Drew McTaggart Katie Yu

In more ways than one. Not only was Toles
responsible for Ellie getting into acting to
begin with, her start in improv was a key in
landing the role of Candace Wheeler.
Some Assembly Required (Mondays, 6:30
p.m., YTV) is a show about a teen owner
of a toy company. Jarvis Raines (played by
Kolton Stewart) is awarded the company in
a court ruling, after a lawsuit over a defective
chemistry set. Candace Wheeler is the former
owner of the company, who will stop at
nothing to ensure Jarvis fails as its new head
honcho.
“Candace is the main character, then she
disguises herself as the cleaning lady to
sabotage the company,” explained Ellie. “It’s
a completely different character – I have to
wear full prosthetic makeup and a fat suit,
and she doesn’t speak English. She speaks
gibberish. When we were at auditions,
all us actresses were in the waiting
room and everyone was nervous
about that, but what served me well
was my background in improv,
with the Vancouver Theatre Sports
League, where gibberish
scenes were an every-night
occurrence. So I wasn’t
at all self-conscious. That’s
probably what helped me get
the gig.”
Her television-sitcom
experience couldn’t have
hurt, either.
Ellie looks back fondly
upon her days as Morticia
Addams, and says that
television show provided her with the
high point of her acting livelihood to
date.
“It was probably my biggest role,
and probably the highlight of my
career was when John Astin (Gomez
in the original Addams Family) came
in to do an episode and was kissing my arm as
Morticia. I was just, like, ‘what is happening?’
It was pretty great.”
From humble beginnings, to humble
expectations. Now, with nearly 100 fi lm and
television credits to her name,Ellie says her
career has exceeded any and all expectations
she had, going in.
“Oh beyond, so far beyond,” she
said. “Remember the show A Christmas Story?
There was a scene where the boy was
crawling up the slide to Santa, and there
are elves on either side of Santa, saying
‘get lost, kid’. One of those elves
was a woman and I remember
thinking that if I could just do
that, just that minor role, I would
be so happy. That’s really all I
was aiming for, and I have well
surpassed it. So I am pretty lucky.”
That’s not to say she has any
plans for retirement yet. One of
the best things about an acting
career is that, as long as you have
your wits about you, there will be
work available.
“Oh, and even then; you don’t need
your wits,” she said,
laughing. “Puh-lease.
Have you seen
some of these
people? Did you
watch the Oscars?”
Touché.

Daniel Wesley livin’ the life of a rock star
Daniel Wesley is living the dream –
the rock 'n' roll dream, that is.
“I am really lucky to be able to
do this, every day,” said Daniel in a recent
interview with Indulge. “I am doing what I love
to do – making music – and am really lucky to
be able to turn it into a career.
“There are still some days where I struggle to
be comfortable with it..., with accepting the
fact that this is my job and sometimes you're
just kind of hanging out. It's a weird kind of
thing but I know there are hundreds of people
out there that would trade spots with me so
they didn't have to work nine-to-fi ve.”
He knows a little about the nine-to-fi ve
grind. The 32-year-old Lower Mainlander
was an electrician prior to making the career
change.
Daniel was born in White Rock and moved
to Langley when he was fi ve. He moved back
to White Rock in his mid-20s and recorded
his fi rst couple of albums there. It's not all fun
and games, but the down times for Daniel are,
more and more, by choice.
His latest album, Ocean Wide, was released
in April 2013 and after nearly a year of
festivals, interviews and promo gigs, Daniel is
just now getting some long awaited and well-
earned family time.
He and his wife Melisa recently enjoyed their
fi rst Christmas as parents, with their son Finn
(born in March, 2013) and the family just
returned from a three-week winter escape to
Hawaii.
And now, it’s back to ‘the grind’, as it is,
with his regular accompanists; bassist Darren
Parris and drummer Tim Proznick. “At the
beginning of January I was in the studio for a
week with the guys and we laid down about
half an album of material….
I’m probably going to hit the
studio right away now and
record some more material.
No hard deadline on when
we will release that, but we
will likely release it separately
– part of it in the summer,
part of it in the fall. But we
will defi nitely have some new
music out this year.”
Daniel’s early music, (i.e. Ooo-Ohh) has a
defi nite reggae infusion to it, but his most
recent releases have more of a straightforward
rock edge. Fuel to Fire, from the Ocean Wide release, has been compared to the sounds of
the Goo Goo Dolls and Sam Roberts.
Daniel said he is not tied to one genre.
“My music… each album is like its own iPod
of music – a real myriad of music. Yes, there’s
reggae stuff but three's also stuff that really
rocks,” he said. “I just let each album be its
own thing.”
As his career progresses, the opportunities
expand for Daniel. He worked with well-
known Canadian musician and producer
Gavin Brown for a couple of tracks on Ocean Wide and looks forward to working with other
Canadian music industry icons
in the future.
“It was fun,” he said of his
experience with Brown. “He’s
a very respected Canadian
producer and it is neat to work
with guys like that. You just
soak up everything he had to
offer.
“There are a lot of good
people out there who have
been making records and music for a long
time, and I have a long list of people who I’d
love to work with. You pick up things from
everybody.”
If there is a drawback to Daniel’s life (and he
realizes that the word "drawback" is relative)
it's that success comes at a price – a price that
will only rise as Daniel's celebrity grows.
“If there's one down side to the industry, it's
the time I have to spend away from friends
and family,” he said. "My son was only 10
days old and I had to leave for a three-week
trip. That was really hard, and that was only a
short time. It would be great to start touring
all over the world but I think that would be
really diffi cult. I don’t know if I could be gone
all the time.”
Daniel said he’s learned to take the bad with
the good, and if that’s as bad as the bad gets,
then, well, it’s pretty good.
“If you get to do something every day that
you love … that’s pretty awesome. I don’t ever
want to take that for granted.” i

Ask the Residents…
Advice from people who live in the Royale Peninsula Retirement Residence
Dear Residents: What is the best way to introduce my grandmother to a residence? She is very social but I think a tour at a fi rst visit would be overwhelming to her and turn her off of the whole idea. – Sarah H.
Dear Sarah: There is a lot of information imparted during a tour that is diffi cult to retain – it is very understanding of you to consider a different approach for your grandmother. For many people, it is not the layout of the building, but rather the impression they have of the residence atmosphere or culture that
helps them to make a decision. Other family members can take on the role of exploring the amenity spaces in advance and share that information with your grandmother, but for her introduction you may want to ask the marketing director to coordinate a visit with a few welcoming residents over tea. Ask that this be planned during a quieter time in the residence so she is not overwhelmed with the activity during a larger event. We suggest you limit this to just the social visit, and make a follow up appointment to view the suites and building with your grandma on another day. – the Residents #34–3033 King George Blvd., Surrey

Entertaining GetawaysFrom Okanagan wine tours to the Russian ballet, vacation ideas for all tastes
A week or two spent relaxing on a warm,
tropical beach sounds like a pretty
sweet vacation – especially on the heels
of a long, chilly winter.
But while sipping on margaritas and working
on your tan will make for a rejuvenating
holiday, it might end up being a little lacking
in the entertainment department.
If you prefer to spend your time away from
home living it up, taking in everything a
destination has to offer and embracing the arts
and culture scene of your holiday spot, Indulge
has compiled some suggestions – near and far
– of where to plan your next entertainment-
fi lled vacation.
Okanagan Wine Tour Just a few hours outside of the Lower
Mainland lies Okanagan wine country,
offering the perfect blend of beautiful scenery
and tasty wines.
Whether you have just a day to spend
exploring these breathtaking wineries, or want
to spend a few days immersed in the world
of wine country, there are several well-known
tour groups in the area that offer a range of
guided tours in various parts of the Okanagan.
Some of the most famous wineries in the
region include Mission Hill, Quails Gate,
Sumac Ridge, Tinhorn, Creek, Burrowing Owl
and Hawthorne Mountain.
And if you’re in the area during the warm
summer months, you can squeeze in your
requisite beach time after all – the region
is home to several of the province’s most
popular lakes, including Skaha, Okanagan and
Kalamalka.
Las Vegas While the Sin City has a reputation for
being a place to go and ‘let loose,’ so to speak,
there is much more to this tourist spot than
excessive drinking, gambling and questionable
behaviour.
The amazing array of talent that takes to the
various casino and theatre stages along the
strip is impressive, to say the least.
From iconic names in the music business –
currently headlining are Celine Dion, Shania
Twain, The Jacksons, Rod Stewart and Meat

Loaf – to hit Broadway musicals including
Jersey Boys and Rock of Ages, the toughest part
of your trip will be narrowing down the list of
what to see.
Not to be missed is one of the several
breathtaking Cirque du Soleil shows.
Currently enjoying successful runs are The
Beatles LOVE, Michael Jackson ONE, Mystere,
KA, O and Zumanity.
This spring will also see a number of well-
known magicians holding court in Vegas,
including Criss Angel, David Copperfi eld and
the hilarious duo Penn and Teller.
New Orleans While one of the main tourist draws to New
Orleans, Mardi Gras, took place earlier this
year, there are still many entertaining reasons
to visit this city on the Bayou any time of year.
A riverboat tour along the mighty Mississippi
in a historic paddlewheeler is a great way to
take in some of the scenery of the city.
Music is a huge part of life in New Orleans,
and at almost any hour of any day you can
fi nd live jazz, brass bands, Creole and zydeco
beats streaming out of clubs in the city.
Among some of the most iconic live-music
venues in the city are Tipitina’s – which has
seen the likes of Dr. John, Willie Nelson
and the Neville Brothers grace the stage, –
Preservation Hall in the French Quarter – a
must-visit for jazz lovers, – and the Maple Leaf
Bar, which hosts funk, zydeco and blues seven
nights a week.
One thing is for certain if you’re visiting
the Big Easy – you will want to bring your
appetite. From fi ne-dining restaurants to
historic cafés scattered around the city, the mix
of local cooking styles in New Orleans creates
distinctive Creole and Cajun dishes you won’t
fi nd anywhere else. Jambalaya, crawfi sh and
gumbo are some of the classics, but if you’re
adventurous enough you can even fi nd some
fried alligator or fried pig’s ear.
Russia’s Bolshoi TheatreFor an experience that is sure to be a little
more ‘high-brow’ – plus a lot further from
home – a trip to the Bolshoi Theatre in
Moscow, Russia ranks quite high on the list of
global entertainment stops.
Regarded as one if Moscow’s biggest tourist
attractions, the Bolshoi Theatre was opened on
October 20, 1856 to celebrate the coronation
of Tsar Alexander II.
In recent years, it has undergone some
major interior reconstruction, including the
refurbishment of its main stage, and today
hosts a variety of popular opera and ballet
performances, featuring the most talented
performers from around the world.
Upcoming features on the playbill include
the ballets Giselle, Don Quixote and Spartacus,
and the operas Boris Godunov, The Enchantress
and La Sonnambula.

Celebs into B.C. winesThe surprising announcement last
month that fi lm director James
Cameron (Avatar, Titanic) has acquired
Vancouver Island’s Beaufort Vineyard & Estate
Winery spotlights the small but rising number
of Canadian celebrities in the wine industry.
Cameron, who was born in Kapuskasing,
Ont. in 1954, has
pursued most of
his remarkable
fi lm career in the
United States, but he
remains a Canadian.
He actually applied
for American
citizenship once
and then withdrew
it when George W.
Bush was president.
He also lives in New
Zealand where Avatar was fi lmed and
where in 2012 he bought 1,000 hectares of
farmland (dairy, walnut trees).
Cameron has yet to disclose his plans
for Beaufort, a well-regarded winery near
Courtenay. He has installed a manager
but he is also keeping the founders on as
winemakers, at least through the next vintage.
The entire Vancouver Island wine industry
should get a major lift from Cameron’s
celebrity even if, as seems likely, he will
continue to live in New Zealand more
than in the Comox Valley. In 2007, the
Nielsen organization surveyed
supermarket wine sales in the
United States and noted a 19
per cent rise over just a few
years in purchases of wines
from celebrity brands.
Last year Andrew Peller Ltd.
launched the Wayne Gretzky
Okanagan brand in British
Columbia (several years
after launching it in
Ontario). The brand has
been a major success, as
much due to No. 99’s
name as to the quality
(which is good).
A recent check of the
Liquor Distribution
Branch’s website shows
that there are about
9,000 bottles of the four
Gretzky wines in LDB
stores.

The other Canadian celebrities involved
in wineries here include actor Dan Ackroyd
(wineries in Ontario and Sonoma), golfer
Mike Weir (with a winery in Ontario) and
actor Jason Priestley, one of the owners of
Black Hills Estate Winery, in Oliver, B.C.
Compared to wineries in California and
elsewhere, the Canadian industry is actually
lagging in attracting celebrities. Just one
hockey player?
Why has no one enlisted Trevor Linden as
a partner? In California, Valeri Bure, who is
Pavel’s brother and who played 621 games in
the NHL, now owns Chateau Boswell winery
in the Napa Valley.
Other entertainers in the wine business
include singers Madonna (Ciccone Vineyard
and Winery in Michigan), Olivia Newton-
John (Koala Blue Wines in Australia), Boz
Scaggs (Scaggs Vineyard in California) and
French actor Gérard Depardieu. He is a one-
man conglomerate with a chateau in the Loire
and vineyards elsewhere in
France, Argentina, Spain,
Sicily and the United States.
The advantages of
attracting more celebrities to
the British Columbia wine
industry are obvious.
They have the money to
invest; they are likely to
collect wines; and they
lift the profi le of their
brands and of the entire
industry.
There are currently
about 25 wineries
for sale in British
Columbia. I wonder
whether the owners
have searched their
customer lists for the
names of celebrities
who might want a piece
of the action, if asked.
