Adjusting back to 'the real world' has been quite the adjustment. After 4.5 months away and nearly a decade of frequent moves and gleeful transience I've returned home to Toronto with relative permanence.
With my inhibition-less galavanting on hold and a need to replenish the coffers I've found myself a steady job and re-immersed myself into a city that I do truly love and enjoy. Lucky for me (whether through quality networking skills, the right timing, or a lacklustre background check) I've begun work with a stellar company—View the Vibe (
www.ViewtheVibe.com)—headed up by an exceptional and passionate woman (
Nicki Laborie)—that allows me to attend awesome events, such as this one:
The
Argento Wines event @
One Restaurant in the
Hazelton Hotel
Treated to an evening of fine wine by Silvia Corti and a miraculous meal, curated at one of the masterful
Mark McEwan restaurants; here is a little taste of the evening's affairs!
