[Van Wine Fest 2025] West Coast Wine Allstars

The Vancouver International Wine Festival is back for its 46th year. This year's theme was West Coast U.S. I attended a wine seminar that showcased ten top-tiered wines from the featured region, with winery representatives offering insight into their growing and/or wine-making process. So let me share some of my own tasting notes here.

Frost & Fable Ice Cave Pop-up Bar at Hotel Belmont Vancouver

Until March 1, you will find the Frost & Fable Pop-up on Fridays and Saturdays at Hotel Belmont in Downtown Vancouver. Inspired by an ice cave bar experience, this pop-up serves up unique, interesting cocktails that are paired with an elevated bar bite menu. I had the pleasure to preview this pop-up with Mr., so let me tell you more about it.

BC/Canadian Food Products I Discovered at The Wellness Show 2025

On the weekend, I went to the 32nd Annual Wellness Show in Vancouver. It's even more important now to discover and support local food products. In no particular order, here are nine BC or Canadian food products that I sampled and enjoyed, and would recommend you all to give it a try.

“Blush” Pop-up Bar at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

This year's Valetine's and Galetine's Day may be behind us, but we don't stop celebrating love. Bring your gals, pals and valentine to this pop-up bar at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. It's called "Blush" and it's only open Tuesdays to Saturdays until February 29.

[Recipe] Blush 75 Cocktail Perfect for Valentine’s Day

This is the classic French 75 cocktail but I changed it up with a sparkling rosé. I called it Blush 75 (and others may have named it similarly as well) because the sparkling rosé would give it a tint of pink. The colour is also perfect for Valentine's Day. And I love that I have all the ingredients at home so I don't have to buy a bunch of cocktail stuff that I don't use often.
