FilmFestivals.com and Cineuropa's "Wine and Shine" cocktail party was a great success! Yesterday evening, Filmfestivals.com and Cineuropa held a fabulous wine tasting for all festival organizers present at the Cannes Film Festival.

It was held on the joint booth of :

- Film France,

- Ile de France Film Commission 

- Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Film Commission  

Thanks specially to the team of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Film Commission who were most helpfull in organizing the event hosted on their terrace in front of the Cannes harbor.

Complete with cheese, crackers, and some tasty sweets, festival organizers were able to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Palais to taste Stephen Ashton's, from Wine Country Film Festival, superb California red wine including Robert Mondavi's Napa Valley 1998 and Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 and 2000 as well as Ashton Vineyards Sonoma Mountain 2004 Syrah.  

Also at the cocktail party, the final chapter of Rex Weiner's "A Festival Wife" was literally released as it was tied to a balloon and sent into the air. The illustrator of the story, Nesta Morgan, was there to see it fly away.

Overall, "Wine and Shine" was a great time for all!
