Vino Italiano - That's the theme for this year's Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival. It's a week long party filled with opulent dinners, parties and gala auctions and a tasting room that would make Bacchus himself blush. It all got started last Monday night at Earls' Paramount location in downtown where West Van's own Earl himself (Buzz Fuller) welcomed guests and VIPs.
