In praise of blends

Crowd-pleasing Reds Vibrant fruit flavours, lower tannins and some crispness are features of reds that drink well in the summer and can be lightly chilled for the ultimate refreshment.

If you’re used to buying wine by your favourite grape varietal, rethink bottles that a winemaker has expertly blended to be smooth, food-friendly and often great value. Check the back label or the growing regions for hints about what grapes might be featured.

Pelee Island Ruggles Run Gamay ZWeigelt VQA LCBO 216028, $13.45 Bright cherry and berry, plus a fresh note reminiscent of green herbs, make this light-bodied Ontario blend a match for barbecue sauce.

The Dreaming Tree Crush Red Blend LCBO 310391, $17.95 A California wine born for the outdoors, this blackberry-kissed, deep- ruby blend has medium- bodied structure that pairs with red meat.
