Bring the taste of Italy to your backyard this summer.<\/p>\n

July is one of my favourite months, traditionally the warmest month of the year in Canada.\u00a0 It\u2019s the perfect time to get together with friends and enjoy the best life has to offer. With warm days and spectacular sunsets, it\u2019s easy to believe you\u2019re in an exotic place where the weather\u2019s more accommodating year round. To get the most out of your summer, here\u2019s an exotic spin on an old favourite that\u2019s best enjoyed with a bottle of wine, good conversation and the comfort of a backyard or patio.<\/p>\n

The recipe is the Italian Style Burger.\u00a0 Simple and quick to prepare, it brings together the fresh taste Italians have become famous for with delicious Canadian Mozzarella, though it also works with Canadian Cheddar, Havarti and Provolone.\u00a0 In just a few minutes, you\u2019ll discover the dolce vita for yourself. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To best complement this meal, I suggest going with the Chianti Riserva Rocca delle Mac\u00ece 2007<\/strong><\/a>, a dry, medium bodied Tuscan Chianti.<\/p>\n

Or if Ros\u00e9 is more your style, the Emiliana Adobe Reserva Ros\u00e9 Syrah 2010<\/a><\/strong> would also make an excellent pairing.<\/p>\n
