LCBO Food & Drink Autumn 2022

CRUNCH TIME

[ WHAT TO SERVE ] Sandbanks Baco Noir Reserve VQA LCBO 225920, $19.95 Dark berry and earthy, herbal notes in this wine easily stand up to and harmonize with the robust flavours of the herb-and-olive cracker and cheese union.

The robust flavours of rosemary and green olives work well with a zesty herbal cheese like Stonetown’s Crackers P. 162 with Wildwood cheese by Stonetown Artisan Cheese, St. Mary’s, Ont. Wildwood. Wildwood is an Appenzeller-style raw cow’s milk cheese that gets its unique flavour from the wine yeast it’s aged in. It is also low in sodium, meaning it can take the hit of saltiness from the olives. For some sweet contrast, put out a jar of orange marmalade or thin slices of candied orange.
