On your holiday table
With a wide range of styles, Ontario’s coolclimate wines are tailor-made for holiday feasts big and small.
A BIG WHITE
Trius Barrel Fermented
Chardonnay VQA (LCBO 251470, $19.95) is a full-bodied white (fermentation in the barrel adds structure and texture) and a great match with roasted meats and all your holiday accompaniments. It’s rich and complex.
A ROBUST RED
Syrah is rare in Ontario—and even rarer at the price and quality level of Creekside
Syrah VQA (LCBO 66654, $15.95). Concentrated and robust, with blue fruit, it has medium tannins and pepper spice. It’s wonderful with a roast of beef or rib chop.
SOMETHING SWEET
An elegant balance of sweetness and acidity delivers a flavourful and textural sensation in Peller Estates Private Reserve Vidal Icewine
VQA (VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 18564, 200 mL, $27.95) like no other. It’s the reason icewine from Peller is revered around the world. For dessert, this is all you need.
