So, here's a question: Why is the Toronto Wine & Cheese Show called the Toronto Wine & Cheese Show when it happens way the hell out in Mississauga?
And also: Is it really such a good idea to hold an event that is primarily based around the consumption of alcoholic beverages in a location that is a pain in the ass to get to without a car?
Complaints about location aside, the Show is one of the biggest food and drink events of the year, and will undoubtedly attract thousands of people to sample a lot of wine and cheese, as well as beer, spirits, and various gourmet foods. If you're planning on going, we hope you can find a sucker friend to act as a designated driver.
