As mentioned in the previous post there were some great little places to check out from the hamilton food and wine show. I have always had a great pride in bringing in small artisanal producers in to the restaurants and using their products.
I met the owners, Roger "Mr.Vinegar" Lambert and his wife Joyce at the show. They were amazing people with an even better product. It is no secret that a chef does not make the food it is the food that makes the chef. If you have good product to start with you will have great food and these vinegars are actually fermented with the real ingredients and not infused giving more depth of flavour. Some of the vinegars are a little delicate for the normal palate but all of them are characteristic to the label. There is nothing fake about these vinegars and I seriously recommend the "Chardonnay Peach" that has won some awards and has amazing notes of peaches.
Take a look at the website and I hope you enjoy their vinegars as much as I did.
If you pick up the product let me know and I will keep you posted on what recipes I am coming up with.
slainte!
