Big Head Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Select 2020, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Big Head Cabernet Sauvignon Select offers impressive depth and structure, delivering concentrated black cherry, blackberry and mocha notes with hints of cedar and spice. The tannins are firm yet smooth, giving it excellent aging potential. This wine doesn’t need a passport to prove its identity – it has all the confidence of a world traveler who still remembers exactly where home is. I’d pair this with slow-braised short ribs where the meat falls off the bone after hours of gentle cooking in a rich sauce of red wine, root vegetables and fresh herbs, the gamey sweetness of the bison complementing the wine’s robust character.

Sea Sun Chardonnay 2023, California, United States: The Sea Sun 2023 Chardonnay, made by the Wagner Family of Caymus fame, brings a golden glow to the glass with its coastal California charm. This dry, medium-bodied white glides across the palate with notes of lemon curd, baked apple, ripe apricot, and a whisper of toasty oak. Its creamy texture is beautifully lifted by bright acidity, making it a polished yet generous pour. Sourced from sun-soaked vineyards hugging the Pacific, it’s a wine that speaks of sea breezes and warm evenings. Try it with buttery corn risotto, grilled peaches wrapped in prosciutto, or a gooey triple-cream brie by the fire. Chardonnay food pairings: roast turkey, chicken, pan-fried halibut steaks.
