Held at the newly expanded BMO Centre, this event celebrated the pinnacle of Western hospitality, Canadian and international wines, and local culinary innovation. Attendees enjoyed an all-inclusive sampling of champion wines paired with gourmet bites, crafted to complement the bold reds and crisp whites.
Salt & Brick’s culinary team, led by Executive Chef Alejandro Buzzalino, delivered an outstanding performance. Chef Alejandro’s creation – a foie gras pressé with a Haskap berry gelée on a homemade red fife crisp, garnished with locally sourced micro-greens, was a standout, earning high praise. Reflecting on the event, Chef Alejandro commented, “Our goal is to create and share the best food in Calgary. Being part of an event like this with our industry peers is what makes this community so incredible. Winning in two categories and taking home two buckles, is a huge honour!”
Owner Casey Greabeiel added, “We have chosen the best chefs to collaborate with us and have given them the flexibility to create a menu that changes daily. We are grateful for the successes since our doors opened in November 2023, but a lot of people still don’t know who we are! Earning accolades like this helps put Salt & Brick on the map. I am so proud of our team.”
