CASK WHISKY VAULT ☆ FOLIO.YVR ☆ ISSUE #20⁠
⁠
In 2021, CASK Whisky Vault launched and is a 65-seat sanctuary of style and unapologetic celebration of the finer things in life. ⁠
⁠
The venue vibe is 1920s Art Deco meets Shanghai, infused with a contemporary Asian aesthetic that incorporates rich woods and lush emerald green velvets. ⁠
⁠
Upon entering the room, and if the sliding doors of the circular private dining area are open, guests can view an overwhelming and seemingly endless array of single malts, bourbons, and blended whiskies displayed floor-to-ceiling.⁠

Oscar and Primetime Emmy-nominated �star Jeff Goldblum performed his first show in Canada with his band, the �Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, at the �Vogue Theatre in August.⁠

Manual Bernaschek, founder and owner of Showcase Pianos, facilitated the delivery of a Fazioli to Vogue Theatre for the evening's performance.⁠
⁠
Manuel shares, "When I received the request to provide a piano for the evening at the Vogue, I immediately knew that the Fazioli F278 Concert Grand would be perfect. It has exceptional power, magnificent balance between the bass and treble, extensive dynamic range and harmonic richness. A classic instrument for large concert halls and recording studios, suitable both for the solo repertoire and for performances with large orchestras. This Fazioli has an incredible dynamic range, which is inspiring for players."⁠

FOLIO.YVR ☆ OMEGA Commandeers Beach House Restau FOLIO.YVR ☆ OMEGA Commandeers Beach House Restaurant for Seamaster Family Launch [PHOTOS]⁠
⁠
To celebrate OMEGA’s oceangoing icon, the Swiss brand produced a new Seamaster collection with bold dials that include a striking tone reminiscent of a perfect day on a boundless sea and invited VIPs to West Vancouver's Beach House Restaurant to explore this year’s special editions in depth.⁠
⁠
The seven iconic models - eleven watches in all – track a trajectory from dressy to serious dive tech. Common to all is OMEGA's Summer Blue, used in greater or lesser degrees to reflect the water resistance of each Seamaster and relate its depth-defying credentials at a glance: Aqua Terra represents the sun-drenched surface, Ultra Deep the dark abyss.⁠
⁠
Guests were thrilled to be a part of the intimate performance by Siphe November, Principal Dancer from the National Ballet of Canada. Premium filtered water brand tabl'eau created refreshing sparkling drinks and the DJ kept the music flowing as everyone moved about the Seamaster displays and onto the patio to sip and savour the sunset.⁠

Timelessly designed in 1979 and completed in 1988, the home at 1056 Groveland Road is named after the Hugo Eppich family, who originally commissioned and have since restored this monumental piece of architecture with its distinctive curved glass brick windows and chrome-plated steel columns.⁠

Of significant influence on the �Eppich House II design was a woman named Cornelia Hahn Oberlander (1921-2021). She had a passion and purpose to create environmental works that recognized the importance of intertwining the man-made with nature.⁠
