Big winners in the wine list competi- tion were Victoria’s Deep Cove Chalet and Bud Kanke’s Cannery Seafood Restaurant,who received the coveted gold medals.

Sull on the wine line, it was a coup for the Vancouver museum executives to have the Baroness Philippine de Rothschitd accept an honorary trusteeship of the museum. The Baroness is a strikingly at- tractive brunette, very knowl- edgeable, very earthy and full of foie de vivre! She was in atten- -ance at the museum's annual -ine auction at Le Meridien Hotel fast Thursday evening. To celebrate her attendance, chocolatier Bruno Feideisen flew in from France for the gala event to create an extraordinary choco- fate dessert in her honor. The item is that there had been _ so much interest in the auction thar for the first time they were offering absentee bids for wine connoisseurs.
