Post # 17 – Fred Victor’ious! (By Angela Aiello)

A couple of girls on a Wednesday night were headed to a wine event…(this seems to be a theme here at iYellow, but hey, we’re  not complaining!) We began our night with a blo n’ go (for more details refer to post #15) and then took the TTC over to Arta Gallery in the Distillery District to attend “An Evening of Wine, Cheese & Art Sale”, in support of Fred Victor Centre. There was great music,  six great wineries from Ontario, a silent auction, good food and a good time to be had! We were able to catch-up with Derek from Lailey Vineyards, taste wines from Black Prince Winery from PEC (their Cab franc was a little disapointing but I’m still a BP believer), Flat Rock Cellars (one of my fav’s!), Calamus Winery, and Creekside Wines (loved, loved, LOVED the Sauv Blanc Reserve!). To boot, there was even complementary cheeses chosen by Leslieville Cheese Market and OMG were they ever good – I tried to bargain with the guy to let me buy the rest of the cheese that was leftover from the night, because I was a little addicted to it… typically I can be found anywhere there is cheese and wine! There was entertainment provided by The Michelle Willis Quartet and the team and I even got to meet the Suzana Da Camara group too! Overall, this event was simply fabulous and a great way to support a good cause, taste some good wines and spend a Wednesday night.
