By training our senses to understand and appreciate the pleasures of food, we open our eyes to the world.
GOOD - tasty, fresh, seasonal and capable of stimulating and satisfying the senses.
CLEAN - produced without straining the earth's resources, its ecosystems and its environments - and without harming human health.
FAIR - respectful of social justice, meaning fair pay and conditions for everyone concerned in the supply chain - from production to commercialization to consumption.

The bar offered a selection of Canadian beverages including Malivoire Ladybug 2008 Rose, Angel's Gate 2008 Reserve Riesling, Chateau de Charmes 2006 Gamay Noir, Steam Whistle beer, Mill St. Organic Lager and Mill St. Stock Ale.
