LCBO Food & Drink Holiday 2024

BIG REDS— BIG BARGAINS Powerful and sophisticated wines that won’t blow your budget. El Abuelo Organic Tempranillo Monastrell Almansa LCBO 524520, $12.95 Abuelo means “grandfather,” and there’s old-school charm in this blend of Tempranillo and Monastrell— oaky spice, ripe black fruit and earthy tannins. Zensa Primitivo IGP Puglia LCBO 31803, $14.95 A smooth, rich (and organic) Primitivo from Puglia with oodles of cherry, prune, dark chocolate and vanilla in its purple depths, held in place by decent acidity and a touch of spice. La Linda Private Selection Old Vines Malbec LCBO 507442, $17 An approachable example of Argentina’s great red, braiding cocoa, damsons and cassis in a smooth, well-balanced frame.

Your Personal Ribbon Nametags fall off, ink rubs away: personalize each party guest’s glass with a unique ribbon tied in a different kind of bow. Confusion is averted— and your stemware has never looked so fancy.
