    PreviousMontreal Restaurants: Taste Peru at Mochica
  • QUEBEC WINE AND CHEESE SHOW

    Posted by

     

    From October 30 to November 1, Montreal will be hosting the 4th annual Salon des vins et fromages du Québec (Quebec Wine and Cheese Show), organized by the Quebec Winegrower’s Association. You’ll have a unique opportunity to take a trip along the Quebec wine route without even leaving the city of Montreal!

    This year, some 50 exhibitors and 35 vineyards from all over Quebec will be waiting to tempt your taste buds and challenge your palate. Come down to the Complexe Desjardins where you can familiarize yourself with a wide range of wine and cheese products, made right here in Quebec. If you get a craving for some goodies to accompany your sumptuous samples, there will be plenty of local cheeses, patés, chocolate, anything that goes well with wine!

    Insider tip: While you’re at the show, take advantage of the occasion to try the world-renowned ice wine from Quebec. This regional specialty is absolutely delicious and makes a great gift or souvenir. Be sure to try the award-winning ice wine produced by the Vignoble du marathonien. This particular vintage of ice wine won the gold medal at one of the most prestigious contests in the world, the Vinalies Internationales held in France every year.

I really needed to get out of Toronto at that time, to reflect, and to surround myself with new stimuli. It was very cold during the visit, but I spent a lot of time walking around anyway, taking photos, going to galleries, and visiting restaurants with old friends. This shot is on Sherbrooke, just west of the Main. I've posted this before, in a flickr pool called "It can't be more Montreal than this".  I like this image because it looks like it's very cold out, and yet there are people moving about in what I think is one of the country's most charming cities.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	The beauty of Montreal is found in the diversity of the people, the historic landmarks, the arts and culture that bring together residents and returning tourists, and surely, the ever-glowing lights.
