Bure Family Wines is a winery in St. Helena, California, United States. It is a partnership between husband and wife Valeri Bure and Candace Cameron Bure and friend Joshua Peeples. Valeri has always had an interest in wine and after a back injury in 2005 that took him away from hockey, Bure was able to focus on his passion for wine and the business started after a trip to Napa Valley and meeting with Joshua Peeples at his family's winery. Luc Morlet is the winemaker for the label. Morlet works with many other high end estates in Napa Valley.
The business is categorized under Wholesale Wines and the wines are made at Chateau Boswell Winery in St. Helena, California. Much of the fruit for the wines comes from the Coombsville growing region east of the Napa Valley. Luc Morlet is the winemaker for Bure Family Wines along with many other high end estates.
The label of the wine is a tribute to Bure's great-grandfather, who was invited to be the watchmaker for the Russian Tsar. The label used on Bure Family Wine Bottles is slightly altered from Valeri's great grandfather's logo. The logo includes a hockey stick clutched in one of the bird's talons, which is a tribute to Valeri's career as a hockey player, and the sleighing horseman crest on his great-grandfather's crest is now a "B" standing for Bure.

# Oleg Troyanovsky

Oleg Alexandrovich Troyanovsky (24 November 1919 – 21 December 2003) was ambassador of the Soviet Union to Japan and China and was the Soviet Permanent Representative to the United Nations (from 1976 to 1986).
Troyanovsky was born into a diplomatic family. His father, Alexander A. Troyanovsky, served as the first Soviet ambassador to the United States from 1934 to 1938 and was also Soviet Ambassador to Japan from 1929 to 1932. Although he was born in Moscow, Oleg attended The American School in Japan; the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC; and Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. At Swarthmore in the 1930s, Troyanovsky allegedly recruited his American classmate Stephen Laird as a Soviet spy.
Troyanovsky returned to the Soviet Union to complete his education at the Moscow Institute for Foreign Languages and Moscow University. He spent two years as a soldier in the Red Army. In summer 1945, Troyanovsky worked as an interpreter at the London Conference that produced the London Agreement (August 8, 1945) by which the Soviet Union, the U.S., the United Kingdom, and France created the International Military Tribunal to try Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg. As a Soviet Foreign Ministry official, Troyanovsky also worked as a foreign policy assistant and interpreter for Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and adviser to Nikita Khrushchev.
Troyanovsky served as the Soviet ambassador to Japan before he was appointed to the United Nations. In 1980, two members of a dissident Marxist group sneaked into the UN Security Council chamber and threw red paint on Troyanovsky and US Ambassador William vanden Heuvel. The Soviet responded, "Better red than dead." In 1983, when listening to the recording of Soviet fighter pilots shooting down Korean Air Flight 007 jumbo jet near Moneron Island that killed carrying 269 people, Troyanovsky remained poker-faced and impassive.
From 1986 to 1990, he held his final diplomatic post as the ambassador to China. Troyanovsky spent his retirement years working on his memoirs and giving lectures in Russia and abroad.

He commenced contesting the national lightweight single sculls title at the Australian Rowing Championships in 1990, coached by his father Stephen Hawkins Snr. In 1991 he beat out his Tasmanian rival Simon Burgess and claimed his first national lightweight championship in the single sculls. He won that same title at Australian Rowing Championships in 1993 and 1994. In 1992 he placed second behind Peter Antonie in the heavyweight single sculls Australian championship.

Hawkins first competed at a FISA event at the 1990 World Rowing Championships in his home state of Tasmania – in a lightweight quad scull with Burgess, Gary Lynagh and Bruce Hick.
