LCBO Food & Drink Winter 2017

The holidays may be over for another year but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. We still love to get together on cold winter nights, and there are all sorts of reasons why. It’s great just to sit back with good friends and watch TV—maybe a favourite team in an important game or a big awards cere­ mony like the Oscars. Choosing wines, beers or cocktails with lower-than-usual alcohol is a fine idea for a long evening.     Or perhaps it ’s a more intimate gathering you have in mind—just you and your beloved, celebrating Valentine’s Day. Show how much you really care by baking one of our irresistible Valentine’s cakes. Then again, there’s nothing better than snuggling up with family and a hearty dinner. What wines work best with winter comfort food? We can help you choose. It’s winter; it’s a new year… Let the fun continue! WINTER
