Gsunt heit! Humbrecht visits Toqué
On June 16th, Olivier Humbrecht will raise a glass with a limited number of diners. Together, they will savour the summertime cuisine of Toqué! in sweet harmony with the wines of Zind-Humbrecht Estates. Olivier Humbrecht is undeniably one of the most influential vintners of his generation. An ardent promoter of biodynamic farming, he stays true to his cause by producing low yields, a cleaner growth, and taking his sweet time during the vinification process to do it right. Results: full wines, typical of the land from which they come, and generating strong emotions. $190 per person, including wines, before tax and tip.

One Toqué! Two Rézin and Three Vintners
This coming Thursday, April the 29th, Toqué! is offering a menu harmonized with the creations of three vintners from Beaujolais. Marcel Lapierre will present his natural Morgons, and with the help of his wife Marie, the wines of Château Cambon. Christophe Pacalet, Les Marcellins, will present two other cru Beaujolais that he has expertly mastered, and finally Georges Descombes will guide us in discovering his very personal version of Brouilly…never mind those long-necked bottles! This delicious exercise will herald a new creative frontier for Toqué!, as these wines have a strong personality and an infectious, joyous quality.
Normand Laprise and Chef de Cuisine Charles-Antoine Crête have created dishes that are as equally intoxicating as the wines.
$155 including wine (before taxes and gratuity) Reservations at www.restaurant-toque.com or by calling 514-499-2084.
A portion of the proceeds raised during the course of the evening, organized in collaboration with the wine import agency Rézin, will go towards helping the vintner Louis-Antoine Luyt who lost his house and 20,000 litres of wine as a result of the recent devastating earthquake in Chile.
