Earlier this month, one of the Canada’s most innovative and internationally renowned winemakers teamed up with one of the country’s best kitchens for a one-of-a-kind dinner. Le Clos Jordanne’s Thomas Bachelder poured exclusive vintages alongside a multi-course meal in Alo’s newest dining room, Alo Salon, a private event space in Yorkville. A group of 25 lucky TL Insiders got to pair Bachelder’s Burgundian-style 2017 Le Grand Clos pinot noir and chardonnay with executive chef Nick Bentley’s delicious dishes. Here’s a look at how the wine- and food-fuelled evening unfolded.
