Perfect pairing

I've been at a loss for words the last couple days, unable to describe what was one of the most amazing evenings of my life: a five-course dinner, with wine pairing, at restaurant Gary Danko. I can say I had the lobster risotto, pan-seared sea scallops, duck with rhubarb compote, cheese tasting, and chocolate souffle, but I really don't think the description does any justice to the meal. And of course, the evening was about more than just the food, but the paired wines, the attentive service, and the excellent conversation with three of my favorite people.
