LOCAL ROCK STARS

Redstone Limestone Ridge

South Block Riesling VQA

VINTAGES 381251, $22.95 An exemplary off-dry Niagara Riesling bal ances tangy acidity with a hint of sweetness. Clean apple and lemon-lime flavours marry so well with a juicy pork roast. Canadian Oak Chardonnay VQA VINTAGES 149302, $24.95 The spicy nutmeg-vanilla of Niagara oak barrels is seamlessly woven into a palate of ripe apple, pear and a limestone edge. Try it with pork chops or fried chicken. Featherstone

With Dinner A rich Chardonnay is every bit as good as a Pinot Noir with the roast turkey feast. And it doesn’t stop there. Big, boldly flavourful winter whites are your go-to for roast pork or chicken, baked ham, creamy pastas, lobster and seafood….

Wakefield Estate Label

Latte Miele Pecorino IGT Terre Di Chieti Abruzzo LCBO 30948, $13.95 Honeysuckle, pear, white flowers…. It’s a lovely, perfumed Pecorino, medium bodied with a hint of saltiness in the finish. Perfect with grilled fish.

Tornatore Etna

Chardonnay VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 711556, $16.95 Fans of creamy, oaked Char donnay full of vanilla and tropical fruit impressions will love this medium-bodied bargain from South Australia. Big enough to handle the festive bird.

Bianco DOC VINTAGES 577676, $27.95

You can expect flinty minerality from Carricante grapes grown high up the side of Mount Etna. Full-bodied but fresh, the wine shows complex peach, pine apple, citrus and minty notes.
