Food & Wine | Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore comes to Canada

I am a believer in the power of Food & Wine in every day life. With my focus on the Canadian market, I am always looking to support homegrown products and brands that best represent the Canadian wine production both at home and abroad. But what about International Wine regions and varietals that arrive in Canada to best represent their markets? Sometimes the fact remains that Canada , as amazing as it is, simply cannot produce wine like they can. Every so often the world of Canadian Wine is made better by the availability of International products, varietals and regions.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore (say that 3 times fast!) is one of those regions which has recently launched a massive campaign in Canada to promote both this iconic Italian wine region and its main export Prosecco Superiore. Let me tell you why, if you’re in the market for an Italian Prosecco that represents the best of Italian Prosecco, this is what you need to be looking for next.

When it comes to Fashion, chances are that I am usually wearing something Julio has told me to wear.

Every so often, these two worlds collide and I get the chance to tell you about it.

Toronto | Hudson Kitchen shows Toronto what a patio should be

From coast to coast in Canada, the summer has arrived finally and patio season is officially in full swing. It makes a lot of people want to refurbish their outdoor spaces in their gardens and redo their patios. Perhaps the most popular these days is flagstone patios and paths, which many people find from companies like westminsterstone.com. Then there is the element of added some new furniture as well. Just completely transforming it to ensure you can enjoy the best of the summer months. When I think of eating in the summer, there is no image that comes to mind faster then that of sitting on a patio (check out teak garden furniture uk for some seating inspiration) enjoying the sunshine with friends and the ones I love. And I’ll be honest, please don’t take offence other cities in Canada, Toronto has some of the best patios I have ever enjoyed. I love patios so much, I only wish I had one in my own home. I dream of having a really cool space with luxurious Sliding Patio Doors too! But what it is that makes a truly perfect restaurant patio? Location, size and decor are key when you’re in search for an outdoor experience. Too big and you feel overwhelmed and lost in the crowd. Too small and it can feel a little awkward or unaccommodating for a group looking to dine together. It’s almost like Goldilocks… it has to be just right. Thankfully for the city of Toronto, Hudson Kitchen is showing the rest of the city what a patio should be. Let me tell you why!
