I’m wandering the streets of Montréal on a cold and wet fall night when I stumble on a place just off Rue Sherbrooke called Pullman. It’s not a name that strikes me as a wine-snob type place, but one glance at the chandelier makes me love it. Montréal is an amazing place to eat, and [...]

Fairmont by the Glass
by Chris Stenberg on 12. Apr, 2010 in Canada, Okanagan Wine, Other Wine Regions, Vancouver
A recent trip to the Fairmont Pacific Rim lobby bar led me to sample the wine list and I must say they have done a nice job. There were some notable local selections on the list like the Laughing Stock Blind Trust Red from the Naramata Bench, and the Fairview Cellars Merlot from Oliver, but [...]
Cocktails at The Diamond in Gastown
by Chris Stenberg on 20. Feb, 2010 in Canada, Food, Locations, Vancouver
I have heard so much about The Diamond over the past 6 months, but I’m not sure why it took me so long to get there. Located in the old Loft Six in Gastown in the Gassy Jack circle at Powell and Carrall Street, the Diamond is a cool second floor loft bar reminiscent of [...]
Cool Bars in Barcelona
by Chris Stenberg on 15. Jan, 2010 in Barcelona, Food, Locations, Spain
My first trip to Barcelona was totally overwhelming. It was over the New Year’s holiday and the place was packed. I was overly concerned about pickpockets, but never fell victim.

At Marmalade in Barcelona – Raval
by Chris Stenberg on 13. Dec, 2009 in Barcelona, Food, Snapshots, Spain
Shrimp Bruschetta at Marmalade in the Raval area of Barcelona. If you are there try it! I don’t particularly like shrimp, but it’s probably my favourite thing on the menu.
La Champagneria Barcelona (Greatest Bar Ever!)
by Chris Stenberg on 08. Feb, 2009 in Barcelona, Food, Spain
Can Paixano (La Champagneria) Reina Cristina 7, Barcelona, Spain [t] 93 310 08 39 View Larger Map This is the greatest bar ever! A bunch of people mill around out front chatting, smoking and basking in the glow of the dim yellow light from inside Barcelona’s La Champagneria. The place is no bigger than a [...]
