pinotVQA‘PREMIUM SIPPING REDS’

Here’s a thought. If we’re watching our athletes competing against the best why shouldn’t we be sipping on some of our best wines? TV watching is usually associated with low quality drinks, but it doesn’t have to be. Why not multi-task – double the fun – with interesting wine experiences?Not the super-expensive, but certainly an upgrade.

Everyone loves Pinot Noir and it’s one of Canada’a best performers. Several wineries produce gold medal quality editions but I’d like to recommend a pair of ‘silvers’ that are more affordable and suited to mid-week sipping. Pelee’s Pinot is a bit of a secret and a great value. A lively partner for pizza. Prospect’s Pinot is more mellow and West Coast. Think hot ‘n spicy foods.

rieslingFirst Wine – the Opening Ceremonies

For the next few weeks I’ll be offering some of my favourite Canadian wines to enjoy while you’re watching the games. For the opening ceremony it has to be a wine from the host province. The super-pleasant personality of Prospect Winery 07 Riesling could not be more West Coast – enthusiastic, wild in a nice way, and eager to please. Quietly confident. The Canadian way.

Riesling for the Family

prospectRieslingRiesling has an identity problem because it gets crafted in all styles ranging from bone dry to super sweet. There’s a consistency however, Riesling always feels lighter and livelier than most other whites. It’s friendly and lighthearted – perfect for events when the wine needs to give everyone a good time.

Case in point is Prospect Winery Riesling. Gently dry, zesty, fruity and friendly, with a lovely playful spirit. The living-is-easy feeling. The perfect wine choice for lazy, holiday times with family and friends. Sunday brunch too. A fun drink for the novice but also good enough for the fussy.
