brie topped with blackberry orange coulis + chiarli castelvetro lambrusco

A rich, buttery cheese like double-cream brie is a great match for a bubbly, fruity wine like a Lambrusco

(LCBO 604, $10.35), especially when you top the cheese with our Blackberry Orange Coulis (recipe page 149). The vino’s vibrant carbonation cleanses the palate after each creamy bite and its semi-sweet quality contrasts the brie’s saltiness and umami rind. This Italian sparkler pours a deep purple and has aromas of crushed blueberries and a light earthiness.
