\"July<\/a>Camp out in Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

When most of us think of camping, visions of shoddily made wieners and messy marshmallow confections come to mind. Sure they can be tasty, but they\u2019re hardly anything to write home about. That is, until now. Try these following two recipes for Campfire Chili<\/strong><\/a> and Banana and Cream Cheese S\u2019mores; with Canadian Monterey Jack and Canadian Cream Cheese, they\u2019ll\u00a0 turn your carefree camping trip into a gourmet getaway.<\/p>\n

And, of course, the only other thing that a gourmand needs with good food is good wine. Here are a couple of my camping suggestions. Cave Spring Cellars Indian Summer Select Late Harvest Riesling<\/strong><\/a> is a medium dry wine that\u2019s not too sweet and packed with generous citrus fruit flavour. Another great choice is Fielding Estate Winery Unoaked Chardonnay<\/strong><\/a>. A great value wine, it is flavourful with hints of melon and kiwi.<\/p>\n

With recipes and wine this good, you\u2019ll wonder why you don\u2019t \u201crough it out\u201d more often.\"cave<\/a><\/p>\n
