DAUGHTER From Page 8 snacks” featuring charcuterie, local cheeses, sandwiches, dips, salads, preserves, vegetables and desserts to pair with the drinks. One highlight is a salute to Marissa’s heritage –toasted challah – and grilled cheese challah for kids.

Born during the Spanish flu in 1918, James Henderson is now recovering from COVID-19 in hospital. He is quite probably the only still living employee of Research Enterprises Limited, which operated in Leaside during World War II. Leaside Life covered the celebration of his 100th birthday in the February 2019 issue. The family home on Parklea, which he bought in 1945, sold last year, and James no longer lives in Leaside, but continues to think of himself as a Leasider. Can anyone beat 104?

Marissa is pleased with the “amazing reception” the bar and shop have received both from local residents and those from other parts of the city, all curious about the bar and shop. Many say they have been “waiting for 20 years for a wine bar to open up in the area.” In addition to the bar, there is also a private room for hosting special events for up to 30 people, including tasting events and “pop and pours” where guest producers showcase their wines. More events are in the works for the coming months with an e-commerce site launching soon. In addition, the menu will change to reflect the different seasons while maintaining the focus on locally sourced products. The Daughter seems destined to become a new local attraction. Why not consider celebrating Leaside 110 with this latest member of the Leaside family? n
