Warm Arugula, Olive & Tomato Salad

The red fruit notes in the sparkling and still rosés are natural comple ments to the flavours in this salad. Both the wines in the Something Special section (pages 12 and 13) have the energy and verve to enhance the savoury character of the seared tomatoes.

Champagne Ham with Saffron-Shallot Sauce When you’re making a meal, cooking with the wine you’re planning to pour with your dinner is a great way to make a direct connection between the wine and the food. Not to mention, sparkling wines and rosés are virtual guarantees when it comes to pairing with ham.

Samosa Sandwiches This dish comes with a bit of spice. The sweet, ripe character of these rosés, both still and sparkling, balances out and complements that heat. The acidity elevates and brightens the potatoes and the plant-based protein.

LANGHE IN THE 416

This May, Toronto plays host to the 2026 Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening , where some 160 producers will debut their latest wines.

These visitors come from the Langhe: a section of Piedmont in northern Italy whose hillside vineyards are so uniquely beautiful and historically significant that they’ve been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Langhe is best known for stately, long-lived Barolo and Barbaresco made from the Nebbiolo grape. But it’s also home to soft, tangy Barbera d’Alba (from the Barbera grape) and elegantly bitter-tinged Dogliani (from the Dolcetto grape). This trio of wines offers a taste of the region before the big event.

Turkey vultures at Cave Spring provide natural pest control. RIGHT: Arguably cuter, sheep at Featherstone provide machine free leaf trimming.

Cave Spring Vineyard was Ontario’s first winery to achieve sustainable certification for both its cellars and vineyards, and the first in the world to implement innovative wastewater treatment technology. Additionally, they make barrel selection decisions that preserve forests, reduce emissions and minimize their carbon footprint. Their wines are made as naturally as possible, using indigenous yeasts and minimal sulphur additions. And, in what sounds like something straight out of Star Wars, they focus UV light to burn away harmful weeds without harsh chemical sprays. Featherstone Estate Winery has been insecticide-free since the turn of the millennium, opting instead to battle bugs with science. They use diatoma

Given that Leaning Post winemaker Ilya Senchuk and his family live on-site at the estate vineyard, they have a tangible, close-to-home incentive to treat the land with care, and their philosophy is to expand that thinking outward. Dedicated to keeping things as simple and natural as possible, Leaning Post uses a minimalist approach in the winery, embraces hands-on farming principles to reduce harsh chemicals in the vineyard, and encourages local flora to grow between the vine rows and help maintain a healthy ecosystem. Southbrook Vineyards has been a champion of eco-conscious winemaking for over three decades. They use organic, biodynamic and regenerative farming techniques in the vineyard,

ceous earth and pheromones in the vineyard to deter pests, and they bring in beneficial predatory insects like lacewings and ladybugs to hunt harmful aphids and mites. The team also plants cover crops between each vineyard row, minimizing soil erosion and reducing space for invasive weeds. The crops they use are brassicas (mustard and oil-seed radish), which fight soil parasites; legumes, which fix nitrogen in the soil and thereby reduce the need for chemical fertilizers; and ryegrass, which encourages vine roots to dig deep for water and whose clippings return organic matter to the soil. The estate also employs a small flock of sheep to munch their way through the vineyard and prune excess leaf cover without the need for machinery.

and their artisanal winemaking techniques are designed to minimize environmental impact. Not only is their entire 150-acre property certified organic and biodynamic, but their hospitality pavilion is Gold certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The building uses natural light to reduce energy output, while floor-to-ceiling double-glazed wall insulation and deep roof overhangs control temperature transfer to reduce artificial heating and cooling. Externally, a specially engineered bioswale (channelled waterway) uses native wetland plants to naturally break down pollution from stormwater.
