In the days before Wine Spectator and Robert Parker, they signed up wineries for representation in the Ontario market. The company has grown over the years and now also represents wineries in Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
THREE EVENINGS TO REMEMBER
Chez Victor Restaurant at Hotel Le Germain and L'Atelier Grigorian, Canada's finest music providers, come together once again to proudly present a second season of the ”Three Evenings to Remember” dinner-and-wine concert series.
This summer we celebrate the art of music, wine and cuisine. In June, world renowned musicians Coenraad Bloemendal and Erica Goodman will delight you with an evening of romantic music for cello and harp. In July, the flavor turns festive with the up-tempo Afro-Cuban magic of the Luis Mario Ochoa quintet. Then in August, stars come out as the beautiful jazz vocalist Diana Panton sets the stage with Canadian icons Don Thompson and Reg Schwager.
Chez Victor chef David Chrystian will equally inspire the senses with a three-course seasonal meal that also includes selected paired wines provided by Vintages Fine Wines and Premium Spirits.
Act quickly—seats are limited! To reserve a table for any of these dinner concerts, please visit or call Chez Victor Restaurant at Hôtel Le Germain.
Tickets are $125 and include dinner, paired wines, concert, taxes, and gratuities.
