SPARKLE AND SHINE A superb sparkler that over­ delivers compared to global peers—and at a very attractive price— Trius Brut VQA ( LCBO 284539, $29.95) is vibrant, soph­ isticated and made in the tradi- tional method.

BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD A formidable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, The Foreign Affair The Conspiracy VQA ( VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 149237, $19.95) also sports a striking, gift-worthy label. Deep, rich and complex, it has ripe fruit and a hint of smoke.
