Several Canadian wineries are sponsoring the Eat, Drink & Give Event on February 9, 2010. The event is held at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto beginning at 6:30 pm. Other contributing organizations are international wineries and restaurants. Wines and foods are donated to this event.

The proceeds will benefit Doctors Without Borders and will be used for the needs of Haiti. According to a press release, “Eat, Drink and Give is a small group of food and wine lovers in Toronto brought together by their support for local products.  They have taken the opportunity to combine their common passion with the idea of helping Haiti recover from the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.”

Tickets and more information are available at http://eatdrinkandgive.com/ . Let’s help by filling the Roy Thomson Hall on February 9. Also, if you have wines or food to donate contact the Eat, Drink & Give organization.

Some of the Niagara wineries involved in this event include wineries we have visited. Those we visited and wrote reviews about include Southbrook Vineyards, Château des Charmes, Vineland Estates Winery, and Cave Spring Cellars.

While in the area for this event, take the opportunity to enjoy a taste of a “true” Icewine for which Canada is renowned.

Cheers, Kathy
