This Event is over. I’m sorry if you missed it. A very good Dinner with Chef Cesar Penalver. The Chef’s Box included some welcome extra surprises, such at a bottle of Muscat of Patras to be consumed with the delightful desert of chocolate truffles. Here is a small picture history of the event from the perspective of El Tenedor and Diana Burke, IWFS Toronto President and Robert.
The wine served with the dinner was a Riesling from Louis Guntrum. The dinner package included a substantial write-up on the Louis Guntrum winery as selected by Chef Cesar. The Louis Guntrum History is fascinating. This kind of information is greatly appreciated by the IWFS Toronto Members. Again, Chef Cesar is giving the little bit extra that separates him from other catered meals. Also included were very clear instructions on the meal prep, right down to the type of plates to use.
Thank you Cesar!
Dear Members, As our survey showed the Zoom virtual events were very popular. So, with that in mind we have arranged another home dining experience. This IWFS dinner event will be at home and via Zoom; the details which will be emailed upon registration. The meal will be delivered by our usual driver, Alexandre Borges from El Tenedor Resturant and will include a bottle of German Riesling wine.
The IWFS has been to this small but very capable restaurant run by Cesar Penalver on December 17 2017. The IWFS in-person event is featured here El Tenedor .
I will also attest that we have personally had meals delivered by El Tenedor that were above excellent with a number of pleasant surprises included, all in an effort to keep him in business during Covid.

Guests: $170 includes a bottle of wine and delivery

The Chefs Box Menu includes a bottle of German Riesling per order. Recognized as a top quality grape here since the Middle Ages, Germany retains its high reputation as a premier source of the finest Riesling. Heavily planted throughout the Rheingau and Mosel, Riesling responds splendidly to these regions’ extreme climatic and topographic challenges. Cold-hardy enough to survive freezing winters, and sturdy enough to withstand the warm sun.
