Collavini Single Vineyard Signature Collection Friuli Pinot Grigio 2024

Here are some interesting Pinot Grigio facts:

• Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape, “Grigio” is Italian, while “Gris” is French.

• The grape is actually a mutation of Pinot Noir, which explains why the skins can sometimes appear grayish-pink.

• Italian Pinot Grigio is usually fresh, crisp, and citrus-driven, while French Pinot Gris tends to be richer, fuller, and more aromatic.

• Some premium Pinot Grigio producers use skin contact during fermentation, creating copper-colored “ramato” wines — a traditional style from Friuli.

• High-quality Pinot Grigio often has more texture and minerality than people expect, and the best examples can age beautifully for several years.

This Friuli Pinot Grigio is a great example of a more serious, terroir-driven style compared to the light and simple versions many people are familiar with.

It just arrived at your local LCBO and sells for $16.95.

Tokaji Aszú

Tokaji Aszú is one of the world’s greatest sweet wines, originating from the Tokaj region in northeastern Hungary. It is often considered the oldest systematically produced noble rot wine, long before the famous Sauternes wines of France.

Tokaji Aszú is made from grapes affected by “noble rot,” caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. Under the right conditionsm misty mornings followed by sunny afternoons, this fungus dehydrates the grapes, concentrating their sugars, acidity, and aromas.

I invite you to try this one, which I absolutely loved and which is available at the LCBO for $41.95.

Drinking red wine in the summer?

If we are going to drink red wine in the summer, I suggest choosing something light and serving it chilled. My new favorite is this Pinot Noir from Ontario. With its notes of berries, spice, and coffee, it is perfect to enjoy simply, without any fuss. At 12.5% alcohol, this red wine is easy to drink and wonderfully refreshing.

You can find it at the LCBO for $21.95.

Historoots Assyrtiko 2024

Sea air meets citrus zest.

This is a typically Greek expression, vibrant, saline, and refreshing, with a modern and precise touch thanks to stainless steel vinification and a short aging on lees.

On the nose, you find aromas of fresh lemon zest and white flowers, with a delicate saline note. It evokes the feeling of being by the sea, next to someone peeling citrus.

On the palate, the acidity is lively and mouthwatering, with notes of lemon and grapefruit supported by a persistent salinity. A wine that instantly makes you want to go back for another sip.

It’s summer, go grab a bottle at the LCBO, it’s only $15.95.

This Mother’s Day, skip the predictable and give her something she’ll actually sip and savor, a wine class experience. Think less “last-minute gift panic” and more “I’m clearly the favorite child.”

Our wine workshops are equal parts fun, flavor, and just enough education to casually impress at dinner parties. No snobbery, no pressure, just great wine and even better company.

Because honestly, after everything she’s done… she’s earned more than just a card.

Bouchard Aîné & Fils Heritage of the Advisor Pinot Noir

My best attempt at pairing a red wine with LOBSTER (since Jardin Royal is back with its famous annual lobster dinner).

This Pinot Noir is approachable, smooth, and subtly charming. It does not try to impress, it is simply easy to enjoy. It reveals aromas of cherry compote with a hint of freshly brewed espresso.

On the palate, it offers a medium body with a fluid and harmonious texture, creating a nice balance between comfort and light complexity. It is light enough to make you want to come back for more, while still having just enough depth to remain interesting.

Easy to find at the LCBO for $16.55.
