The Montréal Branch holds events from September to June, with an additional event in August that is usally outside of Montreal. While all events focus on wine and food (and friendship) the format of the events will vary greatly. Meals are always multi course and each plate is accompanied by a selected wine.

IL PRANZO DELLA DOMENICA - a Classic Italian ALFRESCO LUNCH

IWFS Montreal Branch has  a tradition of finding an "away venue" during the summer or early fall each year. Raymond Landry has taken on this effort over the last many year and found Amato. So, on a Beautiful sunny afternoon in September, members and guests drove to Restaurant Amato in St Rose, Quebec  (just North of Montreal off Island) and enjoyed a Classic Italian Alfresco Lunch as you would experience in Tuscany, at Restaurant Amato in Ste Rose, Laval. This was prepared for us by the Chef Domenico Amato outdoors, at a family style  long covered table, as we would experience in Northern Italy, and as enjoyed by so many families outdoors on Sundays.

Raymond Landry worked with our Cellar Master Earl Eichenbaum to provide a great dining experience and Great Italian wines 

Our Primo was a classic antipasto carne topped with pickled eggplant and an oversized shrimp. We then proceeded in great fashion with a Penne Secundo and a full Ensalada. There was a choice of Veal, Osso buco or Branzino for the main. During the meal, as is our Montreal IWFS Custom, various members stand and discuss the wines we are enjoying - the history of the vineyard, , the Traits of the wine and why it was chosen as a pairing. We finished the Dolce with a special choice by Earl of a soft and delicious Bottega Crema Limoncello - a perfect pairing with the Canolli con Tartufo and an Espresso .

There was great cross table conversations and a wonderful Sunday afternoon was had by all.
