Featured Beverage: Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc

According to most educated wine drinkers, New Zealand is among the world’s premiere producers of the Sauvignon Blanc grape varietal. This vintage is no exception. A crisp and powerful wine whose intense aroma predict some very complex flavours.

A spectacular sipping wine to match with some of our great BBQ Chicken and General Tao Chicken salads and our great seafood salads, the Cobb, and Santa Fe Shrimp or some of our grilled vegetable options, the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich, Roasted Vegetable Pizza and Maria’s favourite Pasta.

Featured Beverage: Big Rock Brewery's Grasshopper

Craft Brewed with Alberta wheat at Big Rock Brewery, Grasshopper is a golden yellow wheat ale that is light on the palate and still packs a rich flavour and european hop aroma with fruity and citrusy notes. This is why Grasshopper is traditionally served with a lemon wedge on the glass.

Grasshopper is a great patio beer being a very easy drinking filtered wheat beer, much lighter than other wheat and white beers. Despite the popularity of the Traditional Ale and Rock Creek Cider, Big Rock's Grasshopper remains the flagship product of Big Rock Brewery.

Featured Beverage: Thornbury Cider

Thornbury Premium Cider is a truly original Canadian cider that tastes like a traditional English cider: dry, crisp and premium.

Its made with 100% fresh- pressed local apples (not from concentrate), and crafted in the 100 year old Thornbury Village Cidery in Georgian Bay, giving this cider it’s unique character. The Cider is Naturally Gluten-Free and suitable for Celiac & Vegan diets.

A light and refreshing cider, it pairs well with a wide range of foods, but is especially great with BBQ ribs, chicken, salmon, seafood and pork.

Featured Beverage: Mill St. Original Organic Lager

Mill Street’s Original Organic Lager was Ontario’s first certified organic lager back in 2002.

Patrons have been enjoying this German-style pilsner with a light and refreshing taste and clean finish that goes well with an almost-light beer alcohol percentage at 4.2 ABV.

Some hoppy bitterness and delicate floral aroma differentiates this beer from an American-Style light lager (Bud or Coors). A great easy-drinking patio beer that is a great summer recommendation alone or paired with seafood or light pasta.

Get to know a street: O'Connor Drive

Jawny Bakers Restaurant got a nice feature on BlogTO's site as a part of the Get to know a Street posting story.

This great picture is selected from that article.

"I initially misjudged Jawny Bakers as a typical bar and grill. It's definitely a little sleeker, a bit of a step up from the local fingers n' fries joint. A glance at its menu will certainly confirm that; Filet Mignon, Linguini Pescatore, and Chicken Madeira in a wine sauce, to name a few items. The green around the back patio gives the illusion that you're dining in some secluded space (despite being adjacent to a parking lot) and the bar boasts an impressive list of domestic, premium, and imported beers on tap."
