RAVINE CHARMAT SPARKLING 6 VQA Ontario, Charmat method “Lobster ravioli in brown-butter sage sauce finished with lemon zest makes a pairing that’s luxurious but not heavy. The wine’s lemon and orchard-fruit freshness lifts the richness of the lobster and brown butter, while the bubbles scrub the palate clean between bites.” (John Vetere, executive chef and director) Light & Fruity 49215 (D) 750 ml $24.95 2 New at Vintages PELLER PRIVATE RESERVE ROSÉ 2024 6 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake, sustainable “Is it too obvious to say Private Rosé and oysters for Valentine’s Day? The acidity and bright fruit in the wine is a lovely complement to the briny, fresh flavours of Canadian oysters. Pork tenderloin with a rhubarb-rosé reduction is a beautiful, indulgent pairing that feels romantic and celebratory.” (Katie Dickieson, winemaker) Medium-bodied & Dry 28531 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 1

BACHELDER LES VILLAGES BENCH PINOT NOIR 2023 6 VQA Niagara Escarpment “Pinot Noir itself is the most sexy, most scented, hedonistic and alluring of red wines! It’s a natural match for Valentine’s Day.” (Thomas Bachelder, co-owner and winemaker) 91 points (Magdalena Kaiser) Medium-bodied & Fruity 11582 (XD) 750 ml $34.95 2 LAKEVIEW CABERNET FRANC ICEWINE 2022 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula “Pairing this wine with dark chocolate cheesecake is magical, incredibly opulent and memorable. The wine cuts through the dense cocoa and silky texture, brightening each bite and drawing out layers you didn’t notice at first.” (Scott McGregor, winemaker) 91 points (Michael Godel) Lusciously Sweet 53397 (S) 200 ml $34.95 2

Lakeview Cabernet Franc Icewine 2022 offers ripe red berry, wild strawberry, raspberry, subtle cherry, and a gentle hint of spice. This rich, opulent wine slows the moment down and turns the end of the meal into its own experience. A gift that allows one that oh-so-rare pause to celebrate the excitement of a new love or to reflect upon the memories of a lifetime spent together.
