Tasting Notes | Siraia at Sirocco Golf Club

Outside Sirocco Golf Club in Calgary

On a late summer evening, a looming thunderstorm and cloudy skies does not, in any way, deter the beauty of the majestic rolling Alberta hills at Sirocco Golf Club. There a herd of deer is traipsing among green fields, bales of hay are tightly wound and a falcon perches on a wooden stump.  Inside at Siraia restaurant, the menu is based on local, high quality ingredients made into dishes that are classic with an Asian twist.  Whitney, Siraia’s in house sommelier does a fine job of pairing purely approachable and drinkable wines for each course.
