This Wine Takes the Cake

The Local Wine Party
October 28 at The DepARTment

We were honoured to be invited by Suresh of Spotlight Toronto to participate in what we hope is the first of many local wine events. Wineries such as Ravine, Norm Hardie, Nyarai Cellars Rosewood, Chateau Des Charmes and Rosehall Run were all present to introduce all of us to their very fine products.

Suresh dropped of a few choice bottles and asked us to use our imagination.
This is what we came up with:

1. Rosehall Run Rose Strawberry Mousse served in white chocolate cups.

2. Sand Banks Baco Noir Forest cupcakes with White Chocolate icing. Here we not only used the wine in the cake batter but soaked some dried cherries in the wine and put a couple in each cupcake.

3.Harbour Estates Midnight macaron. This wine a blend of is Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot . It is bursting with flavour and makes a great buttercream icing.

4. Harbour Estates Midnight buttercream on blackberry cupcakes.

5. We finished off the night with a Peller Estates late harvest Vidal Ice Cream. This was the big hit of the night.
