A couple of weeks ago I held the last Greek Supper Club of the year, inspired by the region of Mani. It was another sold out dinner at St. Lawrence Market with the dishes inspired by the region and wines from Laconia.
Thanks you to Nisos Importing for the Greek olive oil and many of the Greek specialty ingredients, Theoni Water (Canada) Celebrity Wines & Spirits and Apostolos Gerakanis for pouring the wines.

The next dinner is set for Sunday, January 29th and we’re having the tables set up at the Limani (port) for an all fish and seafood menu. Over half the seats are sold and you have just a couple of days to still get your early bird seats (prices will go up).
Here’s a slide show capturing more of the evening, enjoy!
