Wine Dinners with Peter Boyd: Fall 2024!

Please call the restaurant directly at 416-342-1906 to reserve your seats.

Space is limited to 16 participants.

September 9: West Coast of The Americas
$150*

3 seats available

Here’s something we haven’t done before! The west coast of this continent may be the most successful group of all New World regions – for a number of different reasons. Tonight, we’ll explore the various versions of some of the most iconic wines in the world and see how they fare with Indian cuisine. A little history, a bit of philosophy, and lots of bold flavours should make this a memorable evening.

Note that because of the elevated prices of some wines in this category, this evening will have a small premium added to the cost.

October 7: Wait! What’s the Grape in This?
$135*

Sold out - waiting list

This month, for fun, we’re going to explore some well-known wines made from less well-known grapes. Many of them you will have had before and loved; some others originate from more obscure beginnings. A chance to consider the European Appellation system’s elevation of ‘place-origins’ over ‘grape types’ vs. how the emergence of wine in the New World has provided us with a different philosophy, and a whole swathe of tasty varietal stowaways!

November 4: The Lesser-Known Wines of Northern Italy
$135*

Sold out - waiting list

This evening was inspired by the enormous success of last year’s “Trans-Alpine Zipline” event, one of the most popular tastings of the season. This should be as equally fun! After the fall of Rome, the Italian peninsula reverted to a motley assortment of city-states and fiefdoms usually at war with each other, until the reunification of Italy under Garibaldi in the 1860s. This ‘forced regionality’ gave rise to a wide variety of different one-off wines being made, almost valley to valley. In the last twenty-five years, local pride and renewed interest in some of these outliers has given them a whole new profile across an amazing range of styles and flavours.

December 2: Our 2nd Annual Holiday Sparkling Wine Dinner
$180*

Sold out - waiting list

I was a bit skeptical last year when Derek suggested this dinner’s premise but it turned out to be one of our most fun and successful events. The key is to source sparklings that aren’t all just trying to imitate Champagne. Yes, there’ll be Champagne, but there will also be a number of tasty, engaging bubblies from off the beaten track. A great way to kick off the holiday season!

Note that, because of the elevated prices of some wines in this category, this evening will have a small premium added to the cost.
