Thank Goodness It's Friday. So it's the weekend, the weather is nice and its time to relax and have some fun. Maybe you are heading to a friends place for a BBQ, hitting up the beach or if you are lucky enough you know someone who owns a boat or a cottage you can snag a visit too. Grab a bottle of Ontario wine and head out into the wild!
If you are having a BBQ this weekend with homeade burgers why not try a bottle of Flatrock Pinot Noir from Ontario for $18.95. Think raspberry, beetroot, smoked meat and spice to pair well with a delicious thick burger. Want something with a little more "Pow", try North 43 Merlot for only $14.95. Think blueberry, plum, herbs, spices and vanilla to give it that little heavier kick than a lighter cooler climate Pinot Noir.
Ok so maybe your budget is a little more Saturday night "extravaganza" and you are having some AAA Canadian steaks. If you have some nice big steaks why not treat them with respect and use just a little salt n pepper done medium rare paired with a bottle of "Stratus red" 2012 at $44.20. Expensive you bet, but think black currents, blackberries, plums, cassis, cloves, cinnamon with a finish that will have you drooling. "It may be Saturday but I'm not a baystreet banker!" Ok try Viewpoint Cabernet/Merlot from Lake Erie North Shore at $24.95. Think ripe and rich red fruit and a nice finish perfect with a heavier meatier steak. Still like to keep it under $20...I hear you, Toronto is hella expensive. Try Featherstone Cabernet Franc at $19.95. Think smokey grilled red pepper, raspberry, cherry and spice with a long finish to help you savour your steak.
Stop reading, go shopping and sip what our delicious province has to offer. I know what i'll be doing this weekend at my friends cottage!
Happy Sipping,
Ryan Sullivan
