John Levine made a lasting impact on the restaurant scene in Vancouver. Back in 1960 John opened the first "fresh" pizza joint in Vancouver called Jon's Pizzarama. His love for good wine drove him to found the Playhouse International Wine festival. John loved wine and John's personal wine cellar was something you'd imagine from a castle in France. John was on the forefront of educating Vancouverites about appreciating great wines.
Sadly John Levine passed away Tuesday April 17th. Rest in peace John, you will be missed.
