The year that was
Another year has passed and it's time to take stock. I started my year in Chile and finished it in Argentina, which I will talk about in next week's column. In between, I visited Greece and France. While in each place I found great wines, the biggest surprise of the year was Prince Edward County. A mere three hours away from Montreal, I found in PEC a terroir that might be the best in the country for chardonnay and pinot noir.

Fine-dining standout dishes
Restaurant critics are constantly on the lookout for trends. We stare down at scallops to see on how many sides they've been seared, we take notes at the rare times a filet mignon includes the bone, we dunk our fingers in any unfamiliar sauces that accompany oysters and we marvel when a carrot cake or lemon tart is served deconstructed. I can recall a time when dishes would be served with many more foams, savoury tuiles, zigzags of balsamic vinegar (ugh!) and, until quite recently, on all sorts of funky square, oval or oversized plates. And I'll never forget the "broth" trend in the late '90s, when waiters used to serve a dish then return to drown it in hot consomme before you could get in there with your fork.
