A huge congrats to Duncan Ly for the win at the #ccc2014 @goldmedalplates!<\/p>\n

Laughing Stock Winery\u2019s Blind Trust White 2012\u00a0<\/b>Revealed at the Mystery Wine Competition of the CCC!<\/b><\/p>\n

The first of three challenging competitions is now completed at the 2014 Canadian Culinary Championships with Chef Duncan Ly, from the Yellow Door Bistro in Calgary being chosen as the People\u2019s Choice.\u00a0 The award does not affect the official judging scores for the ultimate title \u2013 The 2013 Canadian Culinary Champion – but it is a nice feather in the cap for Chef Duncan Ly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels good to win the People\u2019s Choice Award this evening,\u201d says Chef Ly. \u201cWe worked hard and concentrated on the wine to come up with our pairing. The win gives us an extra boost of energy and confidence going into the next competitions. But the competition is far from over!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mystery Wine Competition is the first of three gruelling challenges for the Chefs, each of whom has won the Gold Medal Plates competition qualifying event in their respective cities. Less than 24 hours before the Mystery Wine Competition, they were given the Mystery Wine \u2013 Blind Trust White 2012 from Laughing Stock Winery in the Okanagan Valley, along with a food budget of $550 with which to feed 425 guests.\u00a0 This morning they had to decide on the perfect dish to pair with the wine and then find all of the ingredients in Kelowna.\u00a0 None of the chefs had any suppliers or shops that they are used to, so had to depend on their creativity and ingenuity.<\/p>\n

David Lawrason, national wine advisor for Gold Medal Plates was instrumental in choosing the Mystery Wine for this year\u2019s competition. \u00a0\u201cLaughing Stock\u2019s Blind Trust White 2012 was a mystery indeed. Non-disclosure of the grapes in the blend was specifically designed to keep everyone guessing. What I liked was the way it harmonized the fresh fruit aromatics and laid in a gentle carpet of oak through partial barrel fermentation. It added sophistication and elevated it beyond the norm of the many white blends now populating the shelves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The competition continues with the dramatic Black Box competition Saturday morning and the Grand Finale on Saturday night, where the top three chefs will stand on the podium.<\/p>\n

Canadian Culinary Championships Backgrounder – <\/b>Gold Medal Plates\u2019 winning chefs from 11 Canadian cities, coast to coast will compete in the ultimate contest to crown Canada\u2019s #1 Chef in February, 2014.\u00a0 The Grand Finale of Gold Medal Plates (the Canadian Culinary Championships) is a national project celebrating Canadian excellence in food, wine, sport and entertainment. Net proceeds from Gold Medal Plates ($8.2 million to date) are given to the Canadian Olympic Foundation which supports Olympic athletes and high performance programs such as \u2018Own the Podium\u2019.\u00a0 Kelowna is now home to this prestigious Canadian competition for the next 2 years.<\/p>\n

Canadian Olympic Foundation \u2013 The Beneficiary of the events:\u00a0 <\/b>The Canadian Olympic Foundation is a national charitable organization created by the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) supporting high performance athletes across all winter and summer sports.\u00a0 The Foundation\u2019s Mission is to generate support to meet the technical, scientific, medical and coaching needs of Canada’s high performance sport system and assist Canada’s athletes in becoming ambassadors for sport, healthy living and the pursuit of excellence across the nation.\u00a0 Net proceeds from Gold Medal Plates are given to the Canadian Olympic Foundation to support high performance programs such as Own the Podium.
