Toronto attracts some attention in this month's
Wine Enthusiast. Along with suggestions for lodgings and sightseeing, the magazine points readers toward a couple of hot spots with great wine cellars.
"Perched atop the 54th floor of the TD Bank Tower, Canoe offers breathtaking views of Toronto and the CN Tower, and serves imaginative Canadian-inflected fare like Alberta lamb and tea-smoked duck breast with wheat berries. Sommelier William Predhomme's wine list is largely local, highlighting producers in Ontario (popular choices include Stratus Vineyards's 2007 Stratus White and Henry of Pelham's NV Cuvée Catherine Rosé)."
"Local Kitchen & Wine Bar is just that—a rustic wine bar for locals. It serves an array of Canadian wines from nearby Niagara, and simple but tasty plates like salumi, house-cured anchovies and fresh-pulled mozzarella. For classic cocktails with an edgy twist, don't miss Black Hoof, where mixologist Jen Agg shakes up drinks like an oak-aged Manhattan and Tea & Sympathy, with Earl Grey-infused gin, Sherry and jasmine bitters."
