I will second Suvai. Good food, cooked with health in mind. They deliver too.

Go for it! We had the pairing, and were given two constrasting wines with several dishes -- smaller pours obviously, but a great opportunity to explore some new food/wine matches.

Thanks sloweater... I'll give them a ring.

@syoung -- I was actually referring to the appellation but thanks for replying and the useful list of agents.

I've been looking for some Faugeres wine and am having dismal luck looking through the LCBO and the consignment guys I use.

Does anyone happen to have a consignment source for this wine in the GTA?

We were married at the Enoch Turner and were catered by La Bodega. Are they still on he list? We thought they were fine, fairly good value. We were able to bring in our own alcohol which is a huge savings.

Guests will remember your wedding at the beautiful schoolhouse, not the food. Great choice and -- much future happiness to you.

It's nice to see there are generous people out there that take time to think of other people's lives and the impact of small kindnesses.

It's even better to see others that hadn't thought of a delivery guy in that way, decide to change their tune.

Blessings and kudos to both the preachers and the converted. It's decent, thoughtful folks like you that keep me coming back to this board. :)

Wow... Two Dollars.

Sure you're not getting the white linen service of being in the actual Chinese restaurant or the Swiss Chalet. But some guy has brought food *to your house*. With his gas. In his own car. Maybe on a cold/rainy/snowy night. He's getting minimum wage. If that.

15 percent seems pretty fair to me.

Picked this up at the market today. It's a round cheese, Barbapapa-shaped, that looks pretty fresh for a cheese that has a best-before date of a year. Has anyone had any experience with it -- or any tips on how to best enjoy it?

We went as a foursome a few weeks ago, bringing another couple from the states that were visiting. We moved to Oakville a year or so ago and it was always on my list of places to try. The Star review added a little spark to the fire.

The setting is lovely -- two candelit rooms with the tables spaced just right. Wine chilled nicely. The owner -- I've forgotten her name -- is truly lovely. It's likely her background in PR that gives her a real gift of interacting with people.

The food is good. It's a mixed menu -- East meets West is their slogan. I know they're accomodating less adventurous suburban types but I think diners in Oakville are pretty sophisticated and I'd love to see dishes introduced that are more 'East' than 'West'

The chef is one of those that know how to batter a fish or fry a dumpling without grease. The sauces are all homemade, fresh and light. Their satay and pad thai rises above humdrum. We tried the pork butt -- which is marinated for twelve hours. It had been recommended and I believe it is more of a western dish than eastern. While the pork was lovely and tender, it was a little bland.

I would put it about on a par with the Malaysian restaurant downtown on Baldwin. I'll return to Cilantro again and may become a regular visitor when they expand the menu more confidently into Malaysia.

Let us know what you think.

Sobey's, here I come.

I thought Costco might... unfortunately I'm not a member. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Does anyone know where to buy a box of chocolate bars? We're having a shower for my sister on the weekend and I want to buy her a box of Coffee Crisps (she can't get them in the states). Hey, who says it has to all be about the baby?

Any help appreciated. My sister will hate you for it.

Nutty Choc. is a good source.

They're also available for $3.99 a pack at:

Yum.

Anyone been to this place? Looks like they have three locations in Mississauga and one in Waterloo.

I'm not one for chains but I'm thinking I might bring my daughter, (coincidentally), called Lucy.

By the way, if you're looking for a great food pairing for this wine, try bringing it on a picnic with rare roast beef sandwiches...

Just curious. Did Julia ever respond?

I'm giving up on this place.

What used to be a wonderful place to go for a glass of wine has become Just Another Bar. New owners?

The wine list is gone -- replaced by a sheet of paper. Three out of four red requested were unavailable. Had to settle for a $35 dollar bottle of Chilean that goes for ten bucks at the LCBO. Over-friendly and inattentive server sloshed practically a whole bottle into two glasses.

Why is it so hard to find a place downtown to share an interesting, reasonably priced bottle of wine?

Suggestions Welcome!

Also try Mise En Place at the Upper Oakville Shopping Centre. I've used them and had good results. Small and friendly. Their lobster ravioli is very well priced at catering rates and quite good.

So OG is cheaper than Whole Foods (who isn't). How much more expensive than, say, Loblaws?
