Do you know that Far Niente on Wellington Street in Toronto has one of the most comprehensive California Cab selections? They do have a diverse list outside of California, but their California section is extraordinary. We had the opportunity to try some great wine and food pairings at the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo that highlighted the wines of California and the fabulous contemporary cuisine of Far Niente. We are, frequently, mesmorized by the California Cabernet Sauvignon’s that Napa Valley boasts, and tend to forget about the other 11 appelations of California wine that are creating great wines as well. I have had the pleasure of attending the last three California Wine Fair’s at the Royal York that taste an astounding 400 wines from the Golden State. This is the perfect venue for anyone who is interested in learning more about California Wine. Fortunately, this event is in the next few weeks, so, it will be top of mind for most of you. The tickets are $65 and takes place on Monday, April 19 from 7:00 to 9:30. There are tickets still available, so hop to it.
I have a great video that I will be posting shortly that highlights the wine and food pairing at the California Cafe at the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo.
