LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2021

WHAT TO SERVE

Celery & Tarragon Soup This craft brew’s rich, malty texture, herbal hops and pleasant spice tones work won- derfully with the soup’s flavours and consistency. The carbonation re- freshes the palate. Beau’s Country Vibes Amber Lagered Ale LCBO 19269, 473 mL, $3.45

Roasted Cauliflower & Semi-Dried Grapes

Italian Cold Cut Sando This food-­ friendly red offers earthy red fruit and dried herb notes, and enough structure to complement and contrast the flavours and ingredients in the sando. Ruffino Chianti LCBO 1743, $15.30

Raw Rapini Salad Cherry, spice and herb flavours harmonize with the greens, while the wine’s struc- ture matches the intensity of the rapini and garlic, and the sharpness of the cheese.

The Veggie Muffuletta

Pine Nut & Rosemary Brittle

Pilsner’s palate-­ cleansing carbon- ation, crisp hops and malt flavours offer a refreshing match to the chili spice and richness of the olives, vege- tables and cheese. Ace Hill Pilsner LCBO 461822, 473 mL, $3.25

For an easy match, serve the orange liqueur from the recipe. Enjoy it in a snifter or on the rocks, or add it to coffee.

Riesling’s perfectly balanced sweetness enhances the fla- vours of cauliflower and grapes. The crisp acidity count- ers the texture and the richness of the nuts and anchovies. Fielding Riesling VQA LCBO 146761, $16.95

Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge LCBO 1784, $50.10

Folonari Valpolicella Classico LCBO 828, $14.80
