The crowd gathers at The Mascot for Cafe Taste Events’ Winter Wine Fair

Last Sunday Cafe Taste Events hosted the Winter Edition of their biannual Ontario Wine and Cheese Fair at Parkdale’s Mascot. Good Food Revolution were there to capture the action for the afternoon portion.

Self-confessed Wine Geek Jeremy Day played ringmaster as much local wine was sipped, local cheese was nibbled upon, jokes were recited, new friends were made, and lots of fun was had.
