Looking for a special bottle this holiday season? Rest assured, you can find the perfect selection right here in your backyard. From world-renowned Pinot Noir to richly fragrant Riesling, Ontario winemakers give you endless options for making spirits bright. A sample from Niagara’s award-winning wineries features some outstanding choices. Take Hidden Bench’s Pinot Noir. Lush and rich, this organic wine is a delight for the taste buds. Its fruity, food-friendly style complements any holiday menu, including the classic turkey dinner. For fans of white wine, Megalomaniac Homegrown Riesling makes for a refreshing change. Its clean, crisp orchard fruit flavours – with a slight citrus twist – create the perfect balance with spicy dishes, as well as sweet and savoury holiday staples like glazed ham.
