  • I went there for some sweet wine or dessert after a meat-heavy dinner with a couple of friends. We were traveling from the U.S. on vacation and were looking forward to a good sweet wine such as a late-harvest Riesling or Canadian ice wine to celebrate our last day in Canada. There was a Riesling Alsace CuvĂ©e Ste. Catherine 2001 for $22.50 per glass that I ordered under the recommendation of the waitress/sommelier that it was a "very sweet" wine from France. I specifically asked her about the wine because I was not familiar with Ste. Catherine. I asked her again if it was sweet because sweet Rieslings from Alsace are rare except the late harvests. It was definitely not a sweet wine. I explained this to the waitress and asked if she had tasted the wine. She insisted that she had and she stuck to her claim that is was very sweet. She was, in fact, offended by my question about whether she had tasted the wine. I have never gone to such a high-end wine bar with such an unprofessional waitress who argues with the customer without even tasting the wine to see if maybe something was wrong with it. Considering that they are charging $20+ for a bottle of wine that costs around $45-50 retail, it is even more ridiculous. And even if I were wrong, I would expect a little more deference because wine tasting is generally a subjective evaluation. Do not be enticed by their impressive wine list (some of their wines run in the thousands of dollars per bottle). They would probably not admit it even if one of their $10,000+ bottles of Pomerol or Romanee-Conti were corked. And, finally, to add insult to injury, they actually charged us for the $22.50 glass of alleged sweet wine. Wine Spectator and other sources concur that the wine is "off-dry," a far cry from "very sweet."
