WHAT TO SERVE

Bread & butter with pomegranate, pickled radishes & onions A light, fresh red wine will grapple with the zesty pickled radish and tart pomegranate notes in this appetizer.

Silken asparagus soup Avoid an asparagus and wine clash; choose a citrusy, herbal, unoaked white. Try Sauvignon Blanc, Grüner Veltliner or Pinot Grigio. Riverlore Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough LCBO 417600, $16.75

Artichoke & basil risotto

Whole-citrus candied ham

Saffron-coconut macaroons

Artichokes in creamy risotto will pair with wine, despite their reputation. Opt for tart fruit, good acidity and flinty minerality. Fazi Battaglia Titulus Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC LCBO 24422, $9.45
