ESSENTIAL TIPS

how toserve

GLASSWAREYou can drink wine in any glass but if you really want toenhance the taste experience, try a glass specificallydesigned for the type of wine you are consuming. An investment in decent stemware will pay off in thelong run. Clear glass or crystal is preferable. Avoidcoloured or beveled glass.

DECANTING Aerating can enhance the aromas and flavours of a wine and there is certainly no harm in it. A fancy decanter is not required to accomplish this. Just pour the wine into any clear glass pitcher as fast as you can, to let in lots of air. Try it with white and rosé wines too!

SERVING TEMPERATURESThe fastest way to chill a bottle is to submerge it in abucket of half water and half ice for 10 to 20 minutes.If you have more time: • Whites can be chilled in the fridge for up to 3 hours(any longer will deaden the aromas and flavours)

• Light-bodied reds such as Pinot Noir (red Burgundy)and Gamay Noir (Beaujolais), can be refrigerated for15 to 20 minutes before serving to bring out theirfresh fruit flavours.

If you accidentally over-chill your wine, just let it warm up a few degrees before serving. Your guests will thank you!

light & CrispAn Essential for light dining or the appetizer hour, light and crisp whitesshould strike the perfect balance between accenting flavours andquenching a thirst. Edges of citrus,herbs and grassy notes lend freshnessto these whites while a crisp aciditypunctuates each sip. The BolliniPinot Grigio is an exemplary optionthat shows beautifully alongsidelighter pastas and seafoods while it complements the comfort of achicken, leek and lemon pie.

ESSENTIAL TIPS

pairingguidelinesMatching with food can be one of the greatest pleasures in the enjoyment of wine – since wine is,after all, meant to be a part of the meal. Here are some very simple guidelines. Ask your VINTAGES

Product Consultant for specific matches.

GRILLED FOOD: Choose full-bodied red wines,and wines that have been oaked, such as CalifornianChardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, and Spanish reds.

FISH: Pair with white or sparkling wines with goodacidity, such as Sauvignon Blanc or white sparklers.Meaty fish like salmon can work well with lighter red wines, such as Pinot Noir and Gamay, as well asrosé sparklers.

SEAFOOD: Shellfish is a classic pairing with light,crisp white wines like Muscadet or Pinot Grigio, whilebuttery lobster goes well with a rich Chardonnay.

VEGETABLES: Salads are good with light or aromatic whites, sparklers or rosés, while grilled veggies suit oaked white wines and lighter reds.

POULTRY: Go with crisp or aromatic whites such as dry Riesling, Pinot Grigio or lighter styles ofChardonnay, plus rosé wines and lighter reds likeGamay or Pinot Noir.

RED MEATS: Classic pairings are bigger reds like Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, and Spanish and Portuguese reds. Tender meats go well withsmoother reds such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Amarone, while rarer cuts are suited to firmer reds like Bordeaux or Barolo.

SWEET FOOD: This works well with wines withsome residual sugar (sweetness) such as dessertwines, Icewine and some Rieslings.

Medium-bodied& FruityThe common conundrum of hosting almost always involves determiningwhich wine is best for the occasion.Keep the answer satisfying withmedium-bodied and fruity wines.They’ve got personality, versatilityand endless appeal because the fruit flavours are upfront and complement a range of foods without overwhelming the palate.Beronia is a superlative example.With its easygoing sophistication,this gives those burger nights ashade of something special, just like it can add immeasurably tothose casual pizza or pasta nightswhen kicking back with friends.
