Where people go to enjoy bottles of California Cabernet and some good sushi.
I was going to give them one star because this place officially has the worst wine list in Toronto to accompany their food but some of the dishes were impressive so 2 stars you go.
A place like this does a disservice to society by having the most nonsensical wines to accompany some well thought out dishes. Why? They are catering to Bay Street. The wine and food should pair together to create a harmonious taste but after our 3rd bottle of Shiraz I couldn't bloody taste the food.
Such a shame. Let the food sing.
For your whites please put on a variety of dry and off dry Rieslings, Pinot Blanc, Muscadet, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc, lighter Sauv Blancs like from Sancerre, feature cooler regions like Alsace, Loire, Germany, Northern Italy and shocking Ontario. Acidity is needed and some lightly off dry wines.
For reds how about some County or Niagara Pinot and where's the Gamay? Or Northern Syrah? Or Syrah from Ontario? Even cooler climate Malbec could work.
Steve Jobs said " A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
Show them how to enjoy your food with delicious wines that will enhance the evening not murder their palates. Oh yes it's okay to have 1-2 options of the bigger styles of wines like a Sauv Blanc or Chardonnay for whites or 1-2 Cabernets and perhaps a Malbec so you can offer different price points but show them the way.
