CIDER WITH ROOTS

From Italy’s bounty

A springtime gathering deserves a fresh, new sipper to share. Gift your hostess with this perfectly balanced dry cider from West Avenue. It’s made with 100 percent Ontario heritage apples from among 1,000 trees planted by the producers.

From the Italian city of Verona, the land of Romeo and Juliet, comes this bold, yet softly sensuous red. If your host is serving hearty red meat—or is simply a fan of steaks and roasts—they’ll adore the dark plum and chocolate notes. Bonus: this wine is produced using organic methods and sustainable farming practices. And it’s vegan-friendly. Trementi Rosso del Veneto IGP Appassimento LCBO 13493, $16.95
