Red Wine

Peller Cabernet Franc 2020, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Cabernet Franc is quietly becoming one of Ontario’s hidden gems, and this example is no exception, offering an enticing mix of dark plum, cherry, and currants, alongside hints of black tea, smoky oak, vanilla, and spices. The wine is both aromatic and layered, with a depth that reveals its complexity over time. It’s a fantastic choice to pair with a tender rack of lamb or a robust winter stew. Enjoy now or over the next few years. Cabernet Franc food pairings: grilled beef tenderloin with Cabernet jus, aged cheddar with walnuts, prime rib.

Mionetto Luxury Collection Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore, Valdobbiadene, Veneto D.O.C.G., Italy: This Prosecco Superiore bursts with aromas of fresh apples and zesty citrus, creating an invigorating bouquet. On the palate, it’s bright and refreshing with flavours of green apple and pear, complemented by a hint of flintiness on the finish that adds a touch of intrigue. Enjoy this sparkling wine alongside a goat cheese crostini or a seafood risotto for a delightful pairing. Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore food pairings: oysters, grilled shrimp, potato chips.
