Summer is here and we can help you beat the heat with our 2013 Reif Riesling<\/strong><\/a> now available pre-chilled at your local L.C.B.O. It’s a perfect summer sipper with fresh aromas of peach, pear, apple and lemon citrus.<\/p>\n

It is one of our winemaker Klaus Reif\u2019s favourite wines and his go-to wine for his summer entertaining as it pairs well with light appetizers, salads, pastas, seafood, poultry and pork.<\/p>\n

It was also a great vintage for white wines in Ontario as it was generally a cooler vintage with fruit at harvest maintaining their natural acidity levels giving the wines a freshness and liveliness not seen in hotter vintages.<\/p>\n

This brightness in the wine will also pair perfectly with this recipe from Chef Jordan Lassaline in Stratford \u2013 the spicy curry and sweetness of the mango and pineapple will make these summery skewers a great match for this wine.<\/p>\n

So pick up a bottle today, get the grill on and start living the Reifstyle<\/em>!<\/p>\n
