ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS to discover a wine you’ll like is to shop according to your favou- rite wine style. Never mind if the names of grapes or regions seem to vanish from your memory when you walk into your local LCBO store, just look for the style descriptions on the shelf tags. Do you pre- fer a “Light & Crisp” white? An “Easy-going & Fruity” rosé? They’ve been identified for you. Shopping by style can also help you match wine to food. By way of an illustration we asked Lucy Waverman to create three delectable dishes, each one designed to work with a particular wine style. Then we chose a handful of wines—very different wines from all around the world, made from differ- ent grapes—that all shared that style. Bingo! Every match was a winner. We hope you enjoy them, too.
