Joey Don Mills Media Opening #joeydonmills

Just got back from the launch of Joey Don Mills Grill/Lounge (15 O’Neill Road at the Shops at Don Mills, Don Mills Road at Lawrence, 416-445-6391). As you can see, they were bustling about in the shiny new kitchen, making butter chicken and other delectable treats for the guests.

One of the most interesting things for me was the Enomatic Wine Dispenser, which allows the restaurant to offer by-the-glass service for almost any wine, because the bottles, when pressurized with (I believe) carbon dioxide, keep the wine in an as-if-unopened state. I was particularly pleased to see a Joie rosé there because we don't see as many nice B.C. wines here as we might. Chef Chris Mills, who gave us the tour, said he's buddies with the folks at Joie, so we shouldn't be surprised to see their lovely wines at his place.

By the way, the Shops at Don Mills are surprisingly easy to get to via the 25 bus north from Pape TTC Station.
