Hot Stove Club Air Canada Centre

Best Toronto restaurants for National Wine Day

With a menu heavy with aged hand cut steaks (including a 36 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye!), rich dishes such as Lobster Cobb Salad with Bleu Cheese and buttermilk dressing, and Root Beer Braised Short Rib with garlic gnocchi and young carrot, you want wines that can not only stand up to the dishes, but compliment them as well. Sommelier Jerome Jung at The Hot Stove at the ACC is the ideal guide – knowledgeable without being snobbish, intuitive without being cloying. Whether you’re doing by the glass or by bottle, you’ll experience everything from the perfect Châteauneuf-du-Pape from France, or if money is no object, the 3L Caymus Special Select 2010 from Napa. And this is all before the game’s even started. (Note: you must be a ticket holder to make a reservation)
