Gio Restaurant

It's all about balance 🙌🥂

Molly takes us through her featured pours for our new-to-the-menu, Noir-Ancini, a new appetizer that combines crispy fried glutinous rice, fontina, green curry sauce and micro shoots.

Here's the shopping list 😉:

• Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris
• L'Acadie Vineyards Joie de Vivre
• Giesen 0% Sparkling Brut

Or, stop in and discover your favourite 🍷

A wine that would absolutely overshare on the first date 🍷😉

Pipoli Aglianico del Vulture DOC is smooth, earthy, fruit-forward and surprisingly versatile with richer dishes and slower evenings.

Like an old friend, she's a very easy wine to spend an evening with 🍷

Available at the NSLC or Port or paired perfectly with your meal here at Gio.

Molly is back and this week she is tackling one of the most indulgent dishes on our menu.

Three wines and three very different conversations with foie gras.

A Tidal Bay that plays beautifully with the apple notes in the dish, a Prosecco that cuts through the richness and resets your palate for the next bite and a Bulgarian Pinot Noir that brings earthy contrast and low tannins for a pairing that goes somewhere unexpected and completely works.

The first two walk with the dish, while the third one takes it somewhere else entirely. Molly recommends trying all three and honestly we are not going to argue with that.

Stay tuned for Episode 4. 🍷
