RED FOR RELAXING

Vicente Faria Animus Douro, DO

LCBO 535641, $11.95

When you’re kicking back with your buddies and a pizza over the holidays, reach for this classic Douro Valley red. A blend of three Portuguese grapes, it’s a delicate, complex wine with flavours of red fruit and cedar, and great tannins. Animus is the Latin word for passion—a terrific descriptor for this multiple award-winner!
