A mid-morning tasting with winemaker JL Groux followed up by lunch. All wines are new in the Stratus line-up and some were intriguing, especially when you think it was made at an Ontario winery with Ontario grown grapes ... it's amazing to see a winery taking this kind of risk and succeeding.

Three Dishes for lunch all prepared by Chef/Proprietor of
Treadwell ‘farm to table’ Cuisine, Stephen Treadwell. Each dish fell under a special heading: Fresh, Savoury and Sweet - here's what was on the menu ...

FRESH
Seared whitefish with creamed cabbage,
oven dried tomato and soft poached egg

 |
|
SAVOURY

Alas I had no time for dessert (obviously the SWEET part of the menu) ... but it was described as:
Treadwell strawberry “mess”, vanilla bean whipped cream and
crunchy meringue
