ecoSUAVE 2009 Sustainable Food & Wine Tasting

Thanks to one of my readers at Unknown Toronto for bringing this event to my attention. On Saturday February 21, from 8 p.m. to midnight, the environmentally focused educational event company Enlightened Events in partnership with Local Food Plus presents ecoSUAVE 2009, "a green affair for young professionals" at the National Ballet School (400 Jarvis). The event provides an opportunity for mingling and networking while participants sample sustainably produced local fare from a host of sponsors, including Toronto Sprouts, Culinarium, Healthy Butcher, Nature’s Way Organics and Frogpond Farm organic wine. Jazz vocalists Ben D’Cunha and Irene Torres will perform, accompanied by Dave Restivo (piano) and Artie Roth (Bass). Tickets are available online ($18 for advance tickets) or at the door ($20). Dress code calls for "no caps or running shoes", and attendees must be 19 or older.
