Yesterday was quite the eventful day as Nesbitt Burns----The Hayes Group entertained their clientele at the renowned Elliott House located at 5732 Kennedy Road in Mississauga.

The wines were magnificent in their matches and the accolades from those attending were very flattering to the wines. I have always maintained that if Canadians had a chance to enjoy fine dining with wine matches from truly premium quality Canadian wines, they would be astounded by the quality. Tonight some of Toronto's best investors were entertained by a truly great investment company at a magnificent restaurant and the result was sheer delight.
General Manager Mike Cherry and owner David Buchanan went out of their way to ensure a great evening which I had the privilege of hosting.
Owner John Hayes of Nesbitt Burns---The Hayes Group was on hand to welcome all guests and coordinator Shirley Hall made sure that everything ran well.
In addition to the wines and fine menu, the guests were each treated to a book "Vino Veritus" which was written by Wine, Food and Travel Writer, Alex Eberspaecher. The very entertaining book was based on his travels and exploits around the world. You can contact me should you wish to purchase a copy from Alex. Each guest was also given a synopsis of the event by yours truly.
Jackson Triggs is proof that Ontario wine can stand up against any in the world. Last night's event proved it!
