bison in Banff and the Tinhorn Creek Merlot

I spent the past five days in Banff, Alberta, Canada, initially for work, and then for fun. On the last evening of my stay, after a two day backpacking trip, my backpacking buddy and I decided to grab dinner in town. We'd planned to go to a burger joint, but failed to find it, and I mentioned that I'd accidentally walked into a -- and I quote -- "shi-shi but cool-looking" restaurant the night before that might be worth trying. I located it, noted that it was called "bison" with a lowercase b, and in we went! Marc had venison a la blah blah blah, and I had "the pork dish", which was grilled pork loin, charred pork belly (i.e. a block of bacon), and a risotto of wild rice, corn and cilantro. The food was simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g! This was hands down one of the best meals I've had anywhere in the world. We paired our meats with the Tinhorn Creek Merlot, from nearby Okanagan Valley, which turned out to be an excellent choice, spicy as the wine was. One of my most memorable -- and expensive, but who's counting -- meals to date. Hats off to Canada!
