| - I really liked this cozy downstairs winebar. If I lived in Calgary I would definitely be a regular. (Well, as my budget would allow) A tasty glass of white wine, Blasted Church Pinot Gris from the Okanagan Valley, was not served ice cold, thank you very much! Next was a plate of Serrano Ham, manchego, delicious Turkish olives, and oil. It was sort of piled into a salad/mixture and came with some nice bread and garlicky croutons.
I had a very good California Cabernet (Noble Tree), because much to my dismay, there were no Canadian reds available by the glass. Tsk tsk........ I was meeting up with a friend later, so I took away a bottle of Coyote's Run Pinot Noir, which was pretty nice too. (The Blasted Church wins, however)
The kicker, by far, was the absolutely delicious dessert - a caramelized pear bread pudding, with mascarpone ice cream. It tasted even better than it sounds and was worth the price of admission.
If I'm in Calgary again, I'll certainly be back.
