Cruising Café California
Near the end of a busy few weeks of wine shows across Canada, a brief respite from the chaos brings a great, consumer friendly wine and food tasting from California Wines and Far Niente in Toronto.
Before you think that all wine professionals do is just cruise around the globe drinking fine wine and eating sumptuous meals you should know that this is only a small part of what really happens. I spent most of the last 2 months going to wine shows and tasting events across Canada. A lot of time spent in airports and a lot of time working in hotel rooms. Wine Access has been at a number of excellent consumer shows this fall starting with the Rocky Mountain Wine and Food Festival in Calgary and just recently ending with the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo in Toronto.
