Gourmet Food & Wine Expo
We recently had the pleasure of attending the VIP preview evening at the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. Joining other foodies and wine-lovers, we eagerly indulged in an event showcasing over 150 of the industry’s finest suppliers.
In particular, we hoped to discover wines from at home and around the globe and to compliment an array of foods, budgets, and occasions.
A few of our favourite wines were…
Chateau Des Charmes VQA Chardonnay
We think this would be a perfect match with the indulgent creamy mushroom sauce on Chef Magyar’s stuffed roasted chicken with tiny oven roasted potatoes, steamed carrots, and sugar snap peas.

Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
This wine from California would pair beautifully with Chef’s ricotta gnocchi tossed with fresh sage, lemon and butter finished with aged reggiano parmesan.
Arboleda Carmenere 2007
A bold red wine from Chile, this would be a natural fit with pan roasted rack of venison with juniper crust. Accompanied by sweet potato mousseline, rapini, roasted torpedo shallots, and lardoons in a cracked pepper sauce, this is lovely food & wine combination for the holidays.
D’arenberg D’arry’s Original
This Shiraz-Grenache blend from Australia would be yummy paired with our roasted leg of lamb with creamy scalloped potatoes & oyster mushroom jus.
Good news – each of these lovely bottles is available at the LCBO. Happy sipping!
