Thereโ€™s an art to preparing the perfect Snapper, and today, Head Chef Andreas is taking you behind the scenes at iOS to show you exactly how itโ€™s done. From the precise seasoning to the charred finish, this is Mediterranean soul food at its finest.

To compliment the snapper, we're joined by @gmantz17

Whatโ€™s a wine region that you think is underrated? 

Iโ€™ll go firstโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ทGreece!

Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to attend a deep dive into the โœจWines of Greeceโœจ by The Consulate General of Greece in Toronto. It was hosted at the fabulous Mezes restaurant on the Danforth (๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Ž๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ) and I instantly felt transported to my travels from earlier this year๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท

Letโ€™s chat a bit more about the history of Greek wines, and when I say history, I mean that the country has been producing wines for 4000+ yearsโ€ผ๏ธ Itโ€™s literally helped shape the western wine culture we all enjoy today. The country is all about indigenous grapes; ๐Ÿ‡grapes youโ€™re not going to find anywhere else - these are grapes that really tell the story of the terroir and give you a sense of place๐Ÿ’™

We were lucky enough to taste 15 different wines (๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด๐Ÿ˜‹) - the list is below and Iโ€™ve bolded my faves!
