Harry Hertscheg talks about the 2010 Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival

A toast from Harry – the Playhouse Wine Fest’s manager talks 2010

Harry Hertscheg, the Executive Director of the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival, recently spoke to Taste and Sip Magazine about his experiences with organizing the Festival over the past eight years. We thought our readers might like to read what our old friend has to say about Canada’s biggest wine festival.

Harry describes his commitment to the Festival as an ongoing process:

I work on four festivals at a time: evaluating the last one; organizing the current one; planning the next one; and imagining the one after that.

The 2010 Festival, which runs from April 19 – 25, 2010 will focus on theme regions New Zealand and Argentina, and a global focus on Rosés.

One of the Festival highlights, the International Festival Tasting, will be held at its new location in the Vancouver Convention Centre on April 22, 23 and 24th, from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM each evening. This is the place to be if you are a wine lover!

Sounds like it’s going to be another fabulous event! Check here for the full interview with Harry.
