Well the Australian Wine Society of Toronto (AWS) has its own special way of welcoming the beginning of summer - savoury hors d'oeuvre and reception wine on the patio, followed by a wonderful 3 course paired meal al fresco style.

The evening will begin with a wine and hors d'oeuvre reception on the outdoor patio, after which we will enjoy a wonderful meal provided by Chef Brad Smith and team. As usual, Cellar Master Joe Gentile has selected matching wines for our enjoyment.
