Another great Montreal Lunch

Well, I’m back in Montreal. I will miss Switzerland and France but will be back a few times a year for business and pleasure. One thing i was looking forward to, coming back here, were my lunches with @Peter_Chiu. This was a special lunch. We were celebrating Peter’s retirement and it was the first time I was bringing my wife and uncle along. It was wonderful.

Montreal vist, wine bargains?

I’ll be driving from Boston to Montreal tomorrow and while most of the threads regarding Canadian exchange rate bargains say “meh”, I see, for example, that the '22 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto is $77 at SAQ and $75 at Wegmans (local supermarket). Now I’m assuming the SAQ site is in CDN not USD. Seems like 30% off to me, no? Counterpoint - Chateau Haut Bages Liberal is $50 USD, $75 CDN. Is it just hit and miss between wines? Countries? Is it easier to find the meaning of life? thanks, jim

Short trip back to Montreal (Last post)

We’re back in Montreal for a too short visit as we also need to hop in Boston before going back to France. Since we won’t be able to see all family and friends, we privatized a bar towards the end of our stay and invited everyone. Don’t expect TNs from that night as what we’re offering as opening cocktail is punch served out of fishbowls . But leading to that night, I have drunk and will drink a few bottles from the cellar.

Montreal Restaurants

Stopping through Montreal for a night on our way to Burlington and looking for a restaurant. Not necessarily looking for fine dining - it sounds like their poutine game is . Any experts on the board?
