LCBO Food & Drink Spring 2023

ADVERTISING FEATURE

As the days get lighter and brighter here in Ontario, so too should your wine list. Ontario is spoiled for choice when it comes to finding crisp, food-friendly varietals that bring home great value. Ontario wines are fresher and lighter, with a refreshing acidity that makes them ideal dinner companions. Signature varietals like a smoky Pinot Noir and delicate yet dry Niagara Chardonnay pair beautifully with spring-inspired menus, from lamb to fresh spring vegetables and even classic appetizers like devilled eggs.
