LCBO Food & Drink Early Summer 2020

Offer a first flight of refreshing bubbly and fruity dry rosé to enjoy with the salad board and savoury dinner rolls. Gérard Bertrand Côtes des Roses Rosé VINTAGES 373985, $18.95 Veuve Ambal Crémant de Bourgogne Grande Cuvée Brut LCBO 429688, $19.50 – OR – Ogier Côtes du Ventoux Rosé AOC LCBO 134916, $14.55 Foss Marai Extra Dry Prosecco VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 729392, $19.95

The second flight of wines for the main course is more substantial, with a choice between two exquisitely balanced French or two generous Aussie wines. Teaming a white- and red-wine twosome selected with balance in mind brings the meal to a delicious end…until dessert. Francois Lurton Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc LCBO 472555, $13.05 Marius Rouge Pays d’Oc LCBO 470096, $13.95 – OR – Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc LCBO 447060, $10.95 Kilikanoon Killerman’s Run Shiraz VINTAGES 925453, $19.95

Serving Cointreau with our tart would be an easy solution as it is used in the recipe, but Amaretto would pair beautifully, too! Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira LCBO 215988, $27.00

WHAT TO SERVE

For this relaxed approach to dining, base your wine pairings on choice, not strict assign- ments. Each selected wine combination will complement each course and will dress up the table beautifully.

Be sure to also include sparkling and still‑water options with your wines.
