North Muskoka is blessed with some of the finest restaurants and chefs in Ontario. And if you are a patron of these fine establishments, here's one for your bucket list - May 2nd, The Norsemen Restaurant is hosting a Wine Tasting Dinner. I'd say 'buckle up', because it's sure to be a ride, but perhaps 'unbuckle' would be better, because it involves a spectacular five course dinner, from the superb direction of Chef Harvey Cross and Sommelier Alan Marginean.
Along with Chef Harvey's munificent and delectable courses (such as duck prosciutto with parmesan, seafood sausage with just a hint of dulse, escallops of caribou with wild leeks... oh bliss, oh tastebuds) comes internationally renowned Sommelier Alan Marginean. His job is to educate your palate. It begins with a Tutored Wine Tasting comparing different wine styles and varieties, and it moves on to pair the right wine to the right food.
If all you know of wines is that you don't wear white after Labour Day (oh, wait... that's not wines!!! that's fashion!!) then you really should be signing up for this extravaganza. If you're only going out for one fancy meal this spring, then this should be it.
$95 plus tax and gratuities gets you a place setting, knife, fork, wine glass and one heck of a great evening's dining. It lasts from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
And of course you need to reserve: 705 635 2473.
