What We’re Drinking: Wines of the Week

Wine Time should be all of the time! And, we can help with that because we want to make sure that you’re sipping your Summer best. 

Between trips to the cotty and patio vibes with your downtown crew, we know that summer in the city goes by in the blink of an eye. That’s why we definitely can’t have you drinking bad wine. Every week, we take the guess work out of what you should buy in the LCBO.

La Marca Prosecco 2014 

Tasting Note:Here’s a bright, off-dry Prosecco with notions of crunchy apple, pear and lemon zest, and an intriguing saline quality. An almond/marzipan character emerges on the finish. Chill, and pair with pan-seared or lightly grilled seafood, or with sushi. (Vintages panel, June 2016) via LCBO

Château des Charmes Aligote VQA 

Tasting Note: Pale lemon colour; fresh and defined aromas of crisp apple, pear and mineral; extra-dry medium body; crisp and refreshing flavours of green apple, pear, wet stone with zippy acidity and a slight hint of honey on the finish via LCBO

Gérard Bertrand Grand Terroir Grès de Montpellier Syrah/Grenache 2014

Tasting Note: Grown on slopes 15 km from the Mediterranean coast, the terroir for this wine is characterized by round pebble gravels and sea spray, and 80% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 12 months. Expect a round, robust wine with aromas and flavours of dark fruit, underbrush and spices via: LCBO
