S I PPERS No need to save sparkling wines and icewines for a special occasion! These exceptional VQA wines are sure to elevate the everyday. Ideal for al fresco sipping, they also pair well with a wide variety of summery fare, from an Ontario cheese plate to the freshest local produce. Match a local rosé, redolent with fruit and floral aromas, with a crisp lunch salad or savoury potato rösti. White sparklers that hail from Niagara-on-the-Lake are the ideal accompaniment to light seafood dishes. And serve an award-winning classic icewine with tiny pecan tarts. For a truly memorable cocktail, combine both a sparkler and an icewine in the VQA Spring Fizz, along with a hint of Canadian rye, lemon juice, apricots and aromatic bitters. We’re fortunate to have such a diverse selection of acclaimed wine styles to choose from. Make the elegant bubbles of sparkling wine and the luscious sweetness of icewine, all crafted right here in Ontario, part of your summer moments.
