Vinessens Sein 2011 VINTAGES 391896, $16.95
Situated in the hills behind Alicante on Spain’s southeast coast, Vinessens is a family-run winery producing wines from local grape Monastrell. This big blend (60 percent Mon- astrell, 40 percent Syrah) is a well-rounded, silky wine. Its flavours of stewed fruit and cocoa and pronounced tannins make it a must with rare steak.
LA BELLE POMME St-Rémy French Apple LCBO 479956, $26.45 The fresh taste of apple never goes out of style, but is particu- larly on trend this winter. Riding the wave, St-Rémy has added a clean, crisp apple-flavoured ad- dition to its renowned brandy family. Unique in the brandy category, St-Rémy French Apple is perfect sipped in a snifter or added to your favourite brandy cocktails.
HOP-HOP-HOORAY Smuttynose Brewing Company Finestkind IPA LCBO 474478, 473 mL, $3.25
If you like a hoppy beer, you’ll love this unfiltered India Pale Ale from New Hampshire craft brewery Smuttynose. Brewed using a selection of American hops, the result is a seriously hoppy, light-bodied and crisp beer with a good balance of citrus coming from Simcoe and Santiam hops and smooth bitter- ness from Amarillo hops.
