Red Wine

Corte Medicea Eklektós Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Tuscany I.G.T., Italy: Polished blackberry-jam and cassis mingle with bell-pepper brightness and evergreen-needle perfume, while ginger-snap spice and vanilla-oak warmth wrap its sumptuous texture in velvet-fine tannins that lead to a lingering finish. Great pairing for venison-loin medallions with red-wine jus and coffee-rubbed rib-eye steak with thyme butter. Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: bison burgers, game meat loaf, tourtière.

White Wine

Viña Esmeralda 2024, Catalunya D.O., Spain: Lychee and rose-petal perfume rise from the glass, followed by peach nectar and citrus zest on a soft, off-dry frame. Delicate spice and floral lift make this a charming, spring-ready sipper. Stunning alongside pad Thai or goat cheese and beet salad. Food pairings: grilled shrimp, fish tacos, crab cakes, quesadillas.
