Turns out the Cyprus CG is quite a gourmand himself. I enjoyed his company & conversation. He has a good sense for flavours & textures.
All in all, having met many diplomats, politicians, etc., I have to say that I am quite impressed by the Cyprus CG (Toronto). Astute & nice.
Dear me! Forgot to thank the Consul General of Cyprus Mr. Stavros Avgoustides for his invitation to the Cyprus wine & food pairing on Thurs.

The 1967 St. John Commandaria is simply divine with Christine Cushing’s Drunken Kumquat Chocolate mousse! I’m floored (and flushed)!
No Commandaria wine available in Ontario until April! It sold out in little over a month Nov.-Dec. 09…
Tremendous, a 30 year old Commandaria wine, the “Centurion” label. Just fantastic.
Sampling four different Commandaria wines…
