The Dog Days of Summer are here. Though our first rule of wine is to drink what you like, we are also firm believers in ‘seasonal wine enjoyment’. Just like food, certain wines are just better at different times throughout the year. Here are a few tips and tricks to make sure the remainder of your summer is spent pouring the right wines for friends and family.
• Leave the precious wines at home when heading to the cottage. Instead, bring forward, fruity, drinkable wines that show well with or without food.
• Look for fresh, bright, cool climate white wines that pair well with summer’s lighter fare.
• Chill your red wines in the fridge for a minimum 30-45 minutes minutes prior to enjoying, especially on really warm days and nights
• Avoid tannic, heavily oaked red wines, especially when pairing with classic, grilled fare (saucy chops, ribs, burgers, chicken).
• Don’t forget the bubbles! Sparkling wine is versatile, delicious and perfect for outdoor enjoyment. Just remember to keep it well chilled and on ice.
For a limited time, we are offering a 6-bottle summer mixed case, delivered to your door anywhere in Ontario. These wines have been selected for their summer appeal and reasonable price. Each is perfectly suited for the pool, dock, backyard or terrace.
