THE SEASON’S BEST
A gift for your host, a holiday present or something to treat your guests. When you’re seeking a festive bottle, you’ll find it among Ontario’s finest.
Looking for a special bottle this holiday season? Rest assured, you can find the perfect selection right here in your backyard. From world-renowned Pinot Noir to richly fragrant Riesling, Ontario winemakers give you endless options for making spirits bright.
A sample from Niagara’s award-winning wineries features some outstanding choices. Take Hidden Bench’s Pinot Noir. Lush and rich, this organic wine is a delight for the taste buds. Its fruity, food-friendly style complements any holiday menu, including the classic turkey dinner. For fans of white wine, Megalomaniac Homegrown Riesling makes for a refreshing change. Its clean, crisp orchard fruit flavours – with a slight citrus twist – create the perfect balance with spicy dishes, as well as sweet and savoury holiday staples like glazed ham. Another festive pick is Trius Cabernet Sauvignon. A real crowd-pleaser, this ripe, juicy red is an ideal party sipper, and a must alongside hearty winter fare like beef stew or tourtière.
This holiday season, you can find so many good reasons to give everyone on your list a taste of home.
“Whether you like light, fruity whites or bold, robust reds, with so many exciting VQA wines from Ontario, you’ll be happy to bring local home for the holidays.” — Laura Ruffolo, LCBO Ontario Wines Buyer
