LCBO Food and Drink Autumn 2016

The Match

AUTUMN VEGETABLE MELT & ROSEHALL RUN DEFIANT PINOT NOIR VQA recipe on page 152 It takes great bread to make a great sandwich— in this case, a spectacular open-face melt heaped with roasted autumn vegetables and melted mozza- rella cheese. Big flavours and hearty textures—but Rosehall Run Defiant Pinot Noir VQA ( LCBO 307769, $18.95) is up for it. Its acidity cuts through the rich- ness while its own surprisingly intense red fruit fla- vours work wonderfully well with the peppers and zucchini—not to mention the olives in the bread.
