The Foreign Affair Winery The Conspiracy Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario VQA, Canada
Full-bodied and tannic with dark fruit and a meaty, savoury mid-palate note. The winery concentrates the flavour of the cabernet sauvignon grapes by using the ripasso method traditionally used in Veneto, Italy: dried grapes add richness and depth to the wine. Mocha, dark chocolate and toasty oak on the finish. Pair with pepperoni pizza.

Blue Mountain Gold Label Brut Sparkling Wine
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia Bc V.Q.A., Canada
This crisp and refreshing sparkling wine is a blend of about 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and a splash of Pinot Gris grapes, and is designated BC VQA. It spent two years resting on its lees to give it richness and creaminess that challenges the best of N.V. Champagnes. A zesty, refreshing bubbly with vibrant green apple notes. Clean finish. Great price. It offers low alcohol but lots of taste and a persistent mousse. Pair with oysters and mussels.
