The result is a blend so pure in flavor that it actually enhances those nuances found in great wines, without confusing the palate.

Enjoy a slice of heaven with two of life’s greatest culinary pleasures, wine and cheese. Seeking out the perfect partner is key, as it is in love and marriage, and when you do, it can be total bliss… on the palate!

Our latest discovery, Cypress Grove Chevre’s Humboldt Fog, an incredible soft-ripened goat cheese, perfectly balanced with pleasing acidity, full flavour, but not too strong a goaty taste that many goat cheeses have.  Humboldt Fog has a creamy and luscious texture, a has a thin line of edible vegetable ash in the middle, which represents the coastal fog in Humboldt County, the region where the cheese is made in California. Absolutely divine, we enjoy this pasteurized award winning goat’s milk cheese with a fresh, crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rose. If you prefer a red, select a medium bodied Pinot Noir.

/0 Comments/in /by

The Wine Ladies, “Fabulous Finds for Foodies”, Wine and more! Our latest discovery, 3S’s Restaurant of Oakville, Ontario. The evening began early, not yet 5:00pm on the already bustling streets of downtown Oakville with storekeepers, vendors, and musicians feverishly preparing for the 19th Annual Jazz Festival. Oakville is a small, stylish town with a blend of unique shops including art galleries, boutiques, fabulous restaurants, cafes, decadent pastry shops and chocolatiers… We are here this evening with our camera crew to capture the magic of our latest “Fabulous Finds for Foodies” the 3 S’s Restaurant, Seafood, Steak and Song. Here to share with everyone why 3 S’s is our top pick for not only incredible cuisine and fine wines, with a passion for supporting “local” in both, but also extreme talent in the way of song, from opera, to jazz and musical comedy. The restaurant crew is working at a frenetic pace to prepare for what will be an incredible evening. Inside the tables are set to perfection, upon crisp white linen tablecloths. Stunning art pieces, including works from the private collection of the proprietor hailing from Fredericton, NB, grace the walls as well as beautiful, engaging and thoughtful pieces courtesy of local artists. 3 S’s passion is to pleasure all the senses, from the food, to the wine, the art on the walls and the incredible voices of the servers. Yes, the servers, many Broadway bound, others having performed in operas in multiple major cities throughout Europe, still others with CD’s from jazz to pop and rock. Throughout the evening an incredible cast of servers serenade the guests with a variety of song allowing one to enjoy a new and distinctive dining experience, the only one of its kind in Canada.  Laura Macdonald-Rumi, one of the General Managers, with a Fine Arts Degree is in her element here, living her passion for all that is fine; at the helm Laura seamlessly orchestrates 3 S’s into providing a symphony of the perfect evening for the patrons. We, along with our entourage this evening, family members from Montreal enjoy a multitude of dishes paired exquisitely with a range of wines.
