Brut Cava LCBO 216887, $12.95

Tapas culture draws on a host of ingredients and cultural influences. For a wine pairing that embraces this diversity look to cava, Spain’s delightful and af- fordable bottle-fermented sparklingwine. Cava is crisp and balanced with notes of apple, pear and tangy

citrus. A fine mousse refreshes the pal- ate, and the wine’s generous fruit quells spicy heat. The toasty notes typical of a fine bottle-fermented sparkler are a won- derful complement to the myriad flavours and textures of tapas.
