The wine list at Cabotto’s is ever-expanding and ever-changing, just like the menu. A particular strength of the wine list is the classic regions of Italy. In Italy, wine is produced in every corner of the peninsula, and Cabotto’s showcases the specialties and peculiarities in many of these regions. Cabotto’s has wines that are available through the LCBO stores as well as many titles that have been purchased from wine importing agencies. The ever-growing collection of bottles in the cellar represents an attempt to provide guests with a balanced selection of a variety of truly exceptional wines. Many of the producers in the collection are widely recognized as leaders in the wine producing world, while others are the result of a continuing effort to find small, quality-conscious producers of outstanding wines. All of the bottles are stored in cellars that are temperature and humidity controlled ensuring the best quality and flavor. Guests are encouraged to ask the knowledgeable staff for a recommendation or more information about a particular bottle. While it is now widely recognized that there need not be strict formalities to the pairing of wines and food, it nevertheless remains true that the skillful pairing of the two is an experience almost without comparison. The entire staff at Cabotto’s hope that guests enjoy that experience, and the exceptional dining experience, that is the hallmark of a visit to Cabotto’s.
