Best of Vancouver!

Georgia Straight Best of Vancouver 2011While munching a slice of pizza on the Drive last week, my friend said, “Hey, Put a Cork In It is in the Georgia Straight’s Best of Vancouver list. Check it out!” If you take a look at page 43 or scroll about half way down on their Contributors Picks page you’ll see “Best use of a cork”.

It’s heart-warming to know that, while I’m stock-piling drums of old wine corks and trying to solve technical challenges of remanufacturing them in Vancouver rather than trucking them to Ontario, others think this may be a worthwhile initiative.

I think it is, but sometimes you wonder if you’re more than a little bit crazy for pursuing these schemes! Anyways, thanks for your endorsement and encouragement Georgia Straight. Cheers!
