Food&Wine Pairing Guide

Fishe flavour of most fish can betricky to match with reds –especially the oily ones like salmon.It depends on the sort of fish but alsohow it is cooked and sauced.Generally the milder the fish, thelighter the wine needs to be unlessthere is a robust sauce. Red wine canwork with full flavoured fish butbeware of reds with considerabletannic structure. So look to lighterreds like Beaujolais, new world PinotNoir (authentic Burgundy rarelyworks with salmon), fruity reds withno oak and low tannin levels.Matching most fish to white wine ismuch safer with a wide assortmentof options. Some of the best ‘fishwines’ are unoaked and can supportelevated acidity which makes them‘clean’ tasting. Oen these wines arealso lower in alcohol (10-13%)which is always nice, we think. Withpure Asian fish cuisine like Sushi,there is no better match than a goodsparkling wine or a nice cool andcrisp Sauvignon Blanc or FrenchChablis.

MeatFor meat dishes there are fewerplaces to ‘trip up’ and so matchingwith wine is less stressful. What wefind is that for the really ‘big’ wines(those over 14.5%) most food can beeasily overpowered. So pairingsimilar ‘wine and food weights’ canbe helpful. is is really the onlymajor tricky spot. e other trickyspot is choosing the right ‘age’ todrink your red wine. Drinkingyoung red wine that is meant to age(i.e. higher end Bordeaux, Burgundy,big California reds, big Italian redsfrom Piedmont and Tuscany, etc.)can be disappointing because thesewines truly need time to developadded complexity, nuances, etc. Justordering or grabbing from the cellara good 2005 Brunello di Montalcinoto have with pasta will undoubtablybe unsatisfactory because the wineprobably is at least 14.5%, the‘weight’ comparison is wrong andthe wine is too young. For the whitemeats like roast pork and chickentry serving a ‘bigger’ Chardonnay,French White Burgundy or even dryRiesling from Alsace or Austria. Ofcourse for the more ‘meaty’ chickenand duck dishes there is usually nobetter match than Pinot Noir,especially good Burgundy.

SaladsSalads are actually quite easy tomatch with wine as long as thedressing isn’t too vinegary or there istoo much of it sloshing around (thisis a big problem today). Most goodGerman wine (or other goodRiesling) is excellent with salads asare most Sauvignon Blanc wines andunoaked Chardonnay. Oen, thebest match if the sun is shining (alittle on the romantic side), is a dryrose. Light to medium red wine likea classic Beaujolais cru (Moulin aVent, Fleurie) can be delicious forthe red wine wine lover who refusesanything white. For Veggie dishesthe best matches are oen theunknown, little, regional wines,including dry white, red and rose.

Pasta & Ricee preparation of pasta and rice inNorth America has come a long wayin a short time. It can be a complexsubject but totally fun since oen thebest flavours are bold and direct.Pasta with red or meat sauce is goodwith almost anything Italian and redprovided the alcohol levels arebetween 12-14.5% and lighter intannins. e current ‘poster wine’could very well be good Chianti oralmost anything red from theVeneto area like Ripasso (except notAmarone, too big). e ‘newer’ areasin the central-south of Italyincluding Marche, Latium, Abruzzo,Puglia and Sicily are all coming onand oen are nice matches as well.White Pastas with cream, butterand/or cheese are oen perfect withclean dry whites (Lots of greatexamples from northern Italy likeSoave). Rice and Risotto dishes callfor something that is usually whiteand can be easily matched with asnappy, dry selection like a goodPinot Grigio. Risotto con funghineeds something bigger and in thered zone.

SpicySpicy Food that is not too, too hot isreally fun to match wine with. Weare surprised that there are not moreAsian style restaurants with goodwine lists. Generally, good GermanKabinett level wine is terrific withAsian food as is simple Alsace PinotBlanc or Pinot Gris and simpleAustrian Gruner Veltliner. Again, ifnot too spicy, Viognier (the hawaiianshirt wine) and Gewurztraminer canalso be a fabulous match. Plush,richly fruity reds with lower aciditycan also be good.

CheeseFor some reason in North America,cheese is most oen matched withred wine when in fact it is far betterwith most whites! Some exceptionsare old parmesan cheese withPiedmont (Barolo, Barbaresco) wineand some so ripened creamycheeses (good Brie and Soumatrain)with red Burgundy. Otherwise agood, concentrated white is bestwith most cheese. Blue veinedcheeses can be exceptional with Portwine.

EggEgg dishes can be perfect with wineespecially the classics matches likeregional French wine. e bestmatches in the 1950’s and 1960’s arestill the best ones today. Julia Childs’amazing cookbook has wonderfulegg recipes complete with classicFrench wines like Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume, St. Emilion, Pomerol, Cotesdu Rhone, Alsace whites, somesimple red Burgundies.

Food and wine is the perfect partnership, so ensuring your wine list compliments your menu is ofparamount importance. It would be important here to mention that your wine selections need not behuge in number. Most wine menus can be perfectly adequate (and even preferred) listed on one page,consisting of a few sparkling wines, 5-10 dry to off-dry whites, 8-15 dry reds, 2-3 roses plus 2-3 dessertwine or Port selections. When deciding on by-the-glass selections it makes perfect sense to severely limitselections unless you have a good way of keeping the wines fresh aer opening.

ArgentinaOUR ARGENTINA SECTION SHOWCASESTHE COMPLETE RANGE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLEFROM THIS MAJOR PRODUCING COUNTRY.

With three major brands to choose from now, our Argentina section showcases the completerange of what is possible from this major producing country. Argentina has very quicklybecome a major player in the Alberta market – not unlike what happened when Australiaburst on to the scene 10-15 years ago. It seems that everyone has been seduced by the deep,dark and handsome Malbecs and Cabernets! For a unique flavour treat try the white andaromatic Torrontes varietal.

KEY FACTS

Argentina is the world’s fih biggest producer of wine.e country’s wine regions are widely dispersed and found tothe west of the country, bordering the foothills of the Andes.Argentina has four major wine regions: Mendoza, San Juan,La Rioja and Salta. Mendoza though is the most significantregion and the home of virtually all the wineries of importance,contributing 70% of Argentina’s wine production.

e most typical grape of Mendoza is Malbec, producing redswith grip, structure and density.

e small region of La Rioja is Argentina’s oldest wineproducing region. It specializes in producing the intenselyaromatic white grape Torrontes.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Typical Argentine Malbec and Cabernet are ideal when servedwith red meat and in particular Alberta beef, lamb and bison.ese red wines generally are quite robust and can also besubstituted for some of the more modern Italian wines andserved with pasta and pizza. e ‘Argento classic wines’ are alittle bit ‘soer’ and can be matched with a wide assortment offoods including chicken and pork.

e local white variety, Tapiz Torrontes is best enjoyed either byitself, or as a wonderful partner with lightly smoked meats, mildto medium-strong cheeses, and seafood. It is also a greatpartner for spicy food andai cuisine. e local Pinot Grigiowine from Argento is also a great buy and easy to match with avariety of foods.

ArgentoARGENTO WAS CREATED IN MENDOZA IN 1999 BY ONE OFTHE REGION’S MOST RESPECTED VIGNERONS AND EMBODIESTHE UNIQUE ARGENTINE SPIRIT.

www.argentowine.com >>

e word Argento, meaning silver in Latin, is oen used colloquially in Argentina to refer toa thing or a person that is quintessentially Argentine. Argento also relates to the strong silverthread of tradition that runs through the veins of the country and pays homage to Argentina’slong history of craing precious wines. is is epitomized by the El Plata Mountain that overlookstheir high altitude vineyards in Mendoza where the intense, fruit driven wines areborn. ey pick only the best grapes, the best locations, the best vineyards, and the best people.Quality is their mantra. rough Argento, we bring you a taste of the Real Argentina.

Although grown in many other regions of the world, it is inArgentina where Malbec speaks most confidently.

Argento Reserva is a special find, full of power and personality.

AustraliaWITH A GROWING LAKE OF LOWER PRICED BRANDSAND LOWER QUALITY, LOOK FOR ‘A NOTCH UP FROMENTRY LEVEL’ FOR THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY.

Australia has had much to cope with during the last couple of years, not least the ever increasing hot climate.is led to droughts and several outbreaks of serious bush fires, causing the destruction of many vineyards andwineries particularly in the Yarra Valley region near Melbourne. Despite this, total crops are not as low asinitially anticipated. More than ever the best buying strategy is to find quality, family oriented brands whereattention to detail is of foremost concern. With a growing lake of lower priced brands and lower quality, look for‘a notch up from entry level’ for the best value for money.orn-Clarke and Fox Creek wines come to mind.

KEY FACTS

Australia is still one of the most popular wine producingcountries in the world, delivering a wide range of wine styles atall price points.

e majority of Australia’s vineyards are clustered into thesouth-eastern part of the continent, and in particular keyregions such as Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley andCoonawarra. In addition, becoming ‘hotter’ now is the coolclimate region of the Mornington Peninsula.

e most significant and best loved grape everywhere seems tobe Shiraz, which in the warmer sites can make seductive andjammy, mouth watering wines which are packed with fruitflavours. In the cooler sites the wines tend to be more ‘reserved’,maybe more European in style? When blended with othervarieties Shiraz seems to be a very willing partner with acapacity to show itself deliciously and differently.

e leading white grape is Chardonnay, which is made intowines at all levels from the simple, fruity quaffer through torobust, complex wines. Indeed Riesling, Pinot Gris andSauvignon Blanc can be quite delicious as well, oen unoakedand very good value.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

e ‘soness’ and silkiness in most entry level Aussie redsmakes them delicious as aperitifs, even if a littleunconventional. e better reds are dense and richly flavouredwhich makes them ideal for grilled and roasted meats. e verybest wines show unique personality and are best served withfairly simple but high quality foods which would highlight thenatural beauty in the wine.

Australian whites can be delicious as casual aperitifs. e betterwines oen from cooler sites, have higher acidity which makesthem better suited to a wide range of seafoods and poultrydishes.

CanadaOVER 40% OF ALL WINE SOLD IN WESTERN CANADACOMES FROM 460 WINERIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Renaissance specializes in wines from the Okanagan region in British Columbia.e planted area under vine(about 10,000 acres now) has grown substantially in the last twenty years with distinct climate conditions andsoil types throughout the area. Generally, there are four distinct zones; the North Okanagan (in and aroundKelowna/Vernon area), the Naramata Bench, the South Okanagan (Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Oysoyoos),and the Similkimeen valley. Each have unique conditions which stamp the local wines with specific character.Once considered mostly a white wine producing region, the Okanagan has emerged recently as a crediblesource for interesting red wines as well.

KEY FACTS

Canada benefitted from the signing of the free trade agreementwith the United States in the late 1990’s, which resulted in the“great pull out” of largely old stock vines of less than idealquality. ese were replaced by high quality vinifera vines fromEurope, resulting in the development of a much more successfuldomestic industry accounting for about 42% of all wine sold inWestern Canada from 460 wineries across the country.

KEY WINES FROM THE RANGE

e whites from the Okanagan have proven to be quiteconsistent for their nice fruitiness, clean acidity and purity offlavour. Tinhorn’s Chardonnay is a lovely example of the French‘Maconnais style’ being only lightly oaked with forward fruit anddry apple-like nuances. Also very appealing is the uniquelyfruity and off-dry Ehrenfelser, popularized by Summerhill.Twisted Tree makes lovely whites as well including the terrificViognier/Rousanne blend. All three wineries make deliciousOkanagan Pinot Gris wine as well.

Successful Reds from the Okanagan valley are mostly Bordeauxstyled wines made fromMerlot and Cabernet Franc. It was withMerlot grapes that Tinhorn won the coveted ‘Best Red inCanada’ award in 1998. Other red varieties to watch are thePinot Noir and the Syrah – both enjoying success in the higherend price between $18-35 retail.OKANAGAN WINE WITH FOOD

Most of the best Okanagan whites are lightly oaked, if at all. ismakes them excellent aperitifs or as by-the-glass offerings. Oenthey have tiny to small amounts of residual sugar which helps to‘round’ them out. Paired with fish and shellfish they makeexcellent companions. e reds make ideal partners for grilledand roasted meats. eMerlot based blends are usually betterwith a year or more of bottle age and pair very nicely withAlberta beef, bison and lamb.e Pinot Noir wines are stilltrying to find their way but the soer and fruitier ones likeSummerhill organic Pinot Noir are excellent with BC salmon.

SummerhillSTRICT ORGANIC AND BIO-DYNAMICGROWING PRACTICES.

www.summerhill.bc.ca >>

When owner Stephen Cipes first visited the Okanagan in 1986, the New York developerbelieved he'd found unique conditions to produce the perfect sparkling wine. Vines grownhere in the central part of the valley produce intensely flavored ripe grapes with mouthwatering acidity. is particular terroir is indeed suited to producing sparkling wine, as well asenchanting aromatic whites, and the elegant Pinot Noir. Summerhill follows strict organic andbio-dynamic growing practices in its own vineyards and persuades their grower partners to dothe same. Summerhill wines are regularly honored in international competitions and thewinery recently was declared “Canadian Wine Producer of the Year” at a London winecompetition.

Arguably the most popular sparkling wine now being made inCanada, Cipes Brut is a great Canadian value.

ChileTODAY, CHILE HAS BROADENED IT ’S APPEALTO PRODUCE WINE AT MANY PRICE TIERS.

Because of its generally reliable climate, Chile is less prone to the seasonal vineyard challengesthat can potentially affect more northerly countries such as France, Italy, Germany or Canada.In the 1980’s, when Chile began to dominate the entry level, ‘superb value for moneycategory’, Chilean Cabernet and Merlot shone brightly. Today, Chile has broadened its appealto produce wine at many price tiers including the hot $12-25 retail range. As well the countryuncovered Carmenere, the variety which has turned out to be the ‘signature grape’ for manywineries although it was misunderstood for years as a type of Merlot.

KEY FACTS

Chile has become one of the world’s leading producers ofwines with a high ratio of value to price. is is due to idealgrape growing conditions, meaning good wines are relativelyeasy to make, coupled with the relatively low cost of vineyardland and labour.

e vineyards of Chile are located in numerous valleys; themost important of these are the Aconcogua, Casablanca andColchagua in the northern part of the country and Maipa,Rapel, Curico and Maule Valleys which make up the ValleeCentral.

e key grape varieties of Chile are Chardonnay, SauvignonBlanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Merlot. Inaddition Syrah/Shiraz is now starting to gain in popularity.

More expensive, blended reds, such as Quinta Generacion,are starting to also gain respectability with collectors andconnoisseurs.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

e Cabernet Sauvignon wines such as the Reserva, Los Vascosare perfect with red meat and in particular lamb or beef roasts.e Casa Silva Sauvignon/Semillon and most Chilean whiteshave aromas of tropical fruit with a crisp acidity on the palatethat works wonderfully withai dishes and lighter Indiandishes like Korma and Masala.

FranceNO OTHER COUNTRY EXCEPT POSSIBLY ITALY,PRODUCES SUCH AN ARRAY OF STYLES ANDPRICES AS FRANCE.

No other country except possibly Italy produces such an array of styles and prices as France.With much of the wine world’s attention elsewhere, France actually represents great value todaysince demand has clearly fallen off over the past few years. We believe quite strongly in thequality and uniqueness of our French portfolio and see wonderful options across the range.Generally the 2008 and 2009 vintages have been spectacular across France – one of the bestback to back vintages of the decade according to many winemakers. One can be sure that theseyoung wines will be pure, fruity and approachable, ideal as house wine pours. Should the older2005 and 2006 vintage wines still be found they are starting to really show their high quality.

KEY FACTS

Good French wine, more than most other countries andregions, showcases the ‘local flavour’ of their soil and terroir asopposed to just a specific grape variety. is is a more complexselling task for us all, but it is the basis for the entire country’swine culture and one worthing developing. e unique ‘localflavour’ of French wine should be valued, highlighted andcelebrated. Good value is here for all but the most expensiveclassed growth Bordeaux wines. Even Burgundy andChampagne have great value waiting to be discovered again!

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Classic French food and wine matches became famous for goodreason: they work naturally and they taste great. Key here isauthenticity by using quality products. Take time to choose thebest ingredients (both food and wine). Order a great Coq auvin, serve with quality Burgundy and your guests will beamazed. Grill a perfect New York Striploin topped with anherbed butter and serve with Moueix St. Emilion — better havemore Moueix bottles ready to uncork. Even the violently abusedand over-worked Quiche from the 1970’s, whose pastry whenmade properly, in the right proportions with good eggs andcheese and matched with a cool and crisp Alsace white,will bring joyful tears. Classic French Rocks!

GermanyGERMANY HAS OVER THE YEARS BEENA VERY IMPORTANT SUPPLIER COUNTRYTO THE ALBERTA MARKETPLACE.

Today the market for German wine in Alberta has developed an interesting, ‘new’ direction. While Albertansstill love to drink the low alcohol fresh and fruity Q.b.A. wines of the Rhine and the Mosel, the more up-marketwine producers, like St. Urbans-Hof, are enjoying a Renaissance of sorts. Riesling is the star here being the grapeof choice for the top wines. Riesling, but slightly less sweet Riesling, is the preferred style. It is with the drier‘Kabinett’ and ‘Spatlese’ wines, which show a cleaner balance, that are growing in popularity. Oen they are moreconcentrated than in the past as producers aim for lower yields from their vineyards. Most of Germanyexperienced a great vintage in 2009 with almost ideal weather conditions across the wine growing areas. Most ofthe growers are reporting excellent wine quality with aromatic, healthy and fully ripened grapes.is shouldresult in very fruity, rich and well balanced white wines, with deeper colours that will age well.

KEY FACTS

German vineyards are renowned for being some of the steepest inthe world.e best sites overlook the Mosel and Rhine, where thecombination of grape variety, soil and exposure to the sun areable to produce world class wines.

White varieties dominate, with Riesling being the grape used forquality wines andMüller-urgau contributing to the blend inhigher volume entry level wines such as Liebfraumilch.

German wines, unlike other countries, are classified on levels ofripeness from Q.B.A. (Quality wine from distinct regions) andQ.M.P. Quality wine from distinct regionsWITH specialattributes). ose wines rise in ripeness and sweetness from thedrier styled Kabinett through Spatlese (medium dry), Auslese(late harvest), Beerenauslese (selected bunch late harvest),through to Trockenbeerenauslese (single picked dried berries)

and Eiswein.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

German wine is surprisingly easy to match with food, especiallywhite meats like pork, chicken and turkey. It is an incrediblepartner forai food, sushi and Indian food.e classic matchhowever is with soups! Really, try it. Take a tablespoon ofGerman wine from your glass and mix in your next bowl oflentil soup.

e sweeter styles, like Auslese on up, are beautiful desserts ontheir own or with light lemony cakes, tarts and cookies. For adifferent taste sensation the sweeter styles also would match withsalty blue cheese or light fruit desserts.

www.mertes.de >>

In 1924 master winemaker Peter Mertes founded the company in the little village of Minheimon the Mosel. His intention was to go beyond pure grape growing, which had been a documentedtradition in the Mertes family for more than 400 years. Peter Mertes’ vision was to appeal to thebroader population with selected well-cultivated wines of the best quality offering great value. ebasis for the blossoming business was an extensive vineyard area between the well-known winevillages Bernkastel and Piesport on the Mosel. Today, the company owns Germany’s largest barrelcellar, as well as prestigious wineries with premium vineyard locations.

e collection of vineyards surrounding the town of Piesport, called the‘Michelsberg’, are some of the prettiest on the Mosel. e wine is light and

St.Urbans-Hof“SWEETNESS BELONGS TO MOSEL WINE,LIKE BUBBLES BELONG TO CHAMPAGNE.” - NIK WEIS

www.urbans-hof.de >>

When young Nik Weis took over from his father Hermann in the late 1990s, he must havewondered how to improve on perfection. He decided to follow a number of time-proven,traditional and uncompromising steps. His ‘new’ step-by-step model is actually ‘old’. Old in thathe rarely employs modern technology. Instead, he focuses on ‘wholesome’ winemaking. atmeans careful work in the slate soil vineyards (by hand), natural yeasts for fermentation, 100%Riesling grapes, with faith and patience in mother nature. Nik believes that an undisturbed pathfrom grape to bottle is the key to authentic, quality wine. His Mosel and Saar Rieslings areabsolutely gorgeous examples of the purity and minerality of this wonderful region.

e Winery is situated outside the little town of Leiwen on the Mosel river.e grapes that go into their Estate Riesling are mainly from this site. is wine, with its

GreeceTHERE ARE OVER 6,000 YEARSOF RECORDED GREEK WINE HISTORY!

Greek wine has such a long, storied history and culture that it is hard to condense the information on to onepage. Aer all, there are over 6,000 years of recorded Greek wine history! So we will just highlight the most recentinformation.Even if, in the 1970’s Greek wine was plain and simple, the ‘Greek wine culture’ has grown quite rich over the pasttwo decades with very fine wines being made and exported around the world. Generally the varieties are uniqueto Greece and difficult to pronounce for westerners.e taste however is easy to enjoy for most people.e tasteprofile for the reds oen approaches the classic Mediterranean style being well coloured, warm and richlyflavoured with some tannins.e entry level is oen very good quality and easy on the pocketbook.e whites –the good ones, like Kouros, – are surprisingly delicious being clean and refreshing with nice acidity.

KEY FACTS

Greece is the oldest and most significant wine producingcountry in the world. With over 6,000 years of history, theancient Greeks with their wine culture and their famous wineGod, Dionisys, are commonly known to have started the ‘WineBoom’. Ample history suggests it was the Greeks whointroduced “vitis vinifera” (the finest grape varieties for makingwine) to Italy, Spain and France.

e main regions cultivating vines for winemaking include theAegean Islands (like Santorini), Crete, Central Greece,Macedonia and the Peloponnesus (Kouros red).

e main grape varieties include Assyrtiko (a white varietysimilar to Riesling), Agiorghitiko (a red variety not unlikeMontepulciano), Mavrodaphne (a delicious dessert winefortified and aged in Solera fashion).

FAMOUS FACTS

Retsina, perhaps Greece’s most famous wine has been made forover 2,000 years! Today, Retsina – the good ones like Kourtakis– are only lightly resinated since strong amounts of resin are nolonger needed (because of modern vinification methods) toprevent the wine from oxidation. Go ahead and ‘Wikipedia’“Retsina”. What you see is the Kourtakis example.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Greek wines work beautifully with most Mediterranean foods,especially Italian style and simply prepared grilled seafood. eKouros white is a great choice for sushi and Retsina is perfectfor many ‘North American styled’ Greek food preparations.

KourtakisUNIQUE AND DISTINCTIVELY GREEK.

At the heart of the early Mediterranean civilization, Greece has been producingwine for centuries, including the famous traditional Greek wine, Retsina.Kourtakis is a third generation, family owned vineyard, with a long pedigree ofproducing fabulous wines, using many of the traditional Greek varietals whichgive them their distinctive character.

e old wine region of Nemea is home to one of the great Greek wine varieties called‘Agiorgitiko’. Once pressed, the must is aged in small French barrels for approximately

six months and then in the bottle a further six months.

ItalyTHE BEAUTY ABOUT ITALIAN WINE ISTHE FACT THAT THEY ARE MADE FOR FOOD,ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

It would be easy to completely miss the significant changes in the Italian wine culture over the past two decades.ere is just so much wine in Italy with so many individual directions and concepts. We can’t think of any othercountry with as much diversity and depth as Italy.e sheer number of different grape varieties (well over 200)used oen, is mind numbing. As with almost every ‘product type’ (fashion, cars, furniture, food, drink) in Italy– there are hugely fragmented levels of quality. An excellent ‘filter’ is a must when dealing with Italian wine.Today, quality Italian wine is being made almost everywhere throughout the country. We like to concentratefrom Rome north for the table wines, even though there are gems throughout the south too. We like Sicilyfor the dessert wines and the odd ‘table wine exception’ to our rule.

KEY FACTS

Italy is a hotbed for fashion. Take advantage of this fact anduse this reality to move your customers up with the modernselections available. Young adults are spending muchmore oftheir discretionary income on quality brands than ever before.Give them choices.

e Sangiovese grape is a workhorse. It is responsible for someof the country’s best wines including many of the blends inTuscany and Umbria, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.A good range of these makes good retail sense.

e very affordable red wines of Verona have a natural purity –a sort of ‘vinous’ quality.e taste profile is so easily enjoyed bymost people AND it is a cinch to pair with food like pasta andpizza. Choose a Veronese wine which over-delivers likeValpantena Ripasso.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Italian whites are generally dry and unoaked which makes themclean, refreshing and oen on the lightish side.ey are anexcellent choice for light fish dishes, or perfect as an aperitif.

e reds are muchmore varied in fruit intensity, tannins andstructure.e northern reds (except Piedmont) are oen slightlylighter (but not always), tend to be higher in acidity and are moreeasily matched with foods.e Tuscan and Umbrian wines arebigger and can be matched with more robust foods.e southernwines are generally bigger still (with all that sunshine) and perfectcompanions to intense pastas and sauces of eggplants, tomatoes,hot peppers andmushrooms.

e sparkling wines – like Prosecco – are generally very affordableand oenmake wonderful aperitifs for special occasions.

Alois LagederSOPHISTICATED AND PURE.

www.aloislageder.eu >>

Alois Lageder is one of the long-established wine growing pioneers of the unique region,known in German, as the Sud-Tirol (or Alto Adige in Italian) in the northern Italian Alps.Alois has worked tirelessly, and especially over the past 20 years or so, to create a sustainable,holistic method both in the vineyards and in the cellars. e company produces two types ofwines; those produced entirely from grapes of their own bio-dynamically farmed Estate vineyards,and those ‘classics’ produced from the grapes of quality-conscious local growers. In each case thewines represent a certain purity of flavour and remarkable ‘athletic’ character. Being both elegantand understated, Lageder wines are thoroughly modern and artistic.

e high altitude produces grapes with pronounced and complexaromas. e careful bio-dynamic farming and long ageing process

results in powerful wine uniquely stamped with the Sud-Tirol‘passport’.

PortugalAN OLD REGION, WORLD FAMOUSFOR ITS SWEET, FORTIFIED WINES .

Portugal has a long culture for making unique dry wines as well as their famous sweet wines. Our preference hasbeen to focus on the sweet wines although we would like to possibly open the door slightly to the dry wines inthe future. Until then we are proud to offer Grahams and Smith-Woodhouse ports (We oen have a smallquantity available of Quarles-Harris as well as Quinta Vesuvio, please enquire with us).

KEY FACTS

e Port trade is a relatively recent trade when compared tomost other old world wine producers. It’s history encompassesjust a few hundred years.

It is truly a unique product with very few competitors.

Port is a delicious drink as an aperitif as well, especially thetawnies served cool.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Good Vintage Port when served at it’s optimum age needs noembellishments except good conversation. When young it canbe fantastic with stilton and other blue cheeses. Tawny Port is alovely drink aer dinner with family and friends close by.Vintage character Port, like Six Grapes is an awesome match forchocolate desserts and fruit...

story o� wo families, both of Scottish origin – the Grahams and the Symingtons – whosecommitment to the making of memorable wines has earned Graham’s a reputation as a leader

because the Graham family (in the 1820s) agreed to take on, as payment for bad debt, anumber o� arrels of Port, belies the true planning and hard work that has gone on since thenby the Symington family (the current owners). Today the Graham name is amongst the toptwo or three on any Port lovers list; big rich powerful wines that age gracefully.

Six Grapes is known as ‘Vintage Character’. It is a relatively new style of Port being conceivedonly about 20 years ago by innovative producers like Graham’s, aiming for richness and grip

but without the need to age like a traditional vintage Port. Hence, vintage ‘character’.

SpainDEEPLY FLAVOURED RED WINES THATREALLY FIT THE MODERN TASTE PROFILE.

Spain continues to be a great source of reasonably priced dry wines which seem to fit the modern taste profilefor generously flavoured, so with structure, red wine. While Rioja and Navarra still dominate the qualityoffering for Spanish wine in Alberta, there is increasing interest in regions such as Toro, Priorat and Ribera delDuero for full bodied reds, and Rueda for fresh, crisp whites. We believe there is a tremendous future forSpanish wine in Alberta even though today it is ‘punching below its weight class’. For great value look to thewines of Chivite, one of the best known producers from Navarra.

KEY FACTS

Spain is the third largest producer of wine in the world and isable to offer a huge variety of wine styles due to its very diverseclimate. It offers crisp, aromatic whites in the cool Atlanticregions of the north west to fiery, full-bodied reds of the hotsouthern regions.

Tempranillo is regarded as the most important grape for qualityreds and makes up the largest proportion in blends for redRiojas.

e wine label term ‘Crianza’ means that the wine has beenaged slightly – oen in wood barrels. is style is very popularand modestly priced.

FOOD & WINE MATCHING

Offering tapas is a simple way to add value and increase spend –almost anything goes here including sardines, squid, vegetableswith or without sauce, sausages, meatballs, etc. Some Spanishrestaurants do this and count the toothpicks to arrive at the bill!

Red Navarra and Rioja wines are superb with lamb, sausagesand most lighter meat dishes. Surprisingly the wines stand upnicely to bold food so don’t be shy.

UnitedStatesCALIFORNIA SALES ARE ON ANOTHERGROWTH SPURT.

California wine sales here have been climbing steadily since the early 1980’s with a few exceptions, most notably2009. More recently though, sales have rebounded and we have noticed that the strong brands are getting evenstronger.is is good news, especially considering the strength of our Canadian dollar has enabled us to lowerprices on most of our California wines. We are really excited about our California portfolio these days withoutstanding wines and scores from each of our suppliers. Look for the wines of Belle Glos and Conundrum tomake a major move in sales this year with very attractive pricing on the way. Also we are expecting big thingsfrom Dierberg, Dry Creek and Rutherford Ranch. Our sales team will be out oen, tasting our extensiveportfolio of US wines – so we hope to be able to show you our new releases soon!

KEY FACTS

eUSA is the fourth largest wine producing country in theworld. ere are numerous growing conditions that give rise to adiverse range of styles and types with easy-to-understand labels.

e fact that California has many, many pricing tiers meansthere is margin potential throughout the entire range from $10up to $100 and more. For access to a complete selection, pleasecontact our sales team.

KEY WINES FROM THE RANGEWith the diverse styles from America, there are usually noproblems finding excellent pairings. With only the oddexception, American wine is full-bodied with good ripenesslevels. e finer whites are usually oaked and, when they’re not,it is typically noted clearly on the label. ese whites are also soin acidity, making them easy to match with most foods.

Hard to miss a perfect match for California whites with mostseafood or classic poultry dishes. e Sauvignon Blancs makedelicious aperitif wines and are also good with the lighter,‘healthy’ meals.

e reds can be very powerful – oen these wines are pushing14-15% alcohol – which can be overpowering to more delicatecuisine. Keeping to grilled and roasted meats or stovetoppreparations, it is hard to go wrong with California reds.e exciting Oregon and California Pinot Noirs are perfectmatches for more robust fish dishes in bold sauces or evensimply-prepared salmon and char. e best Pinots are big anddeeply-flavoured (almost more ‘Rhone-like’) and are bettersuited to classic meat dishes.

DessertWines In Canada we can make natural ice wine almost every year, where in othercountries, maybe only 2 in 10 winters are cold enough. Superb ice winesneed sustained temperatures of between -8 and -15 celsius. Beware though,ice wine is a big flavoured wine with lots of fruit, weight and acidity. For amore ‘toned down’ style try a Late Harvest bottling, like Tinhorn Creek.

Germany, for many people is the ‘motherland’ for dessert wine – theiramazing Riesling grapes and stony soil intensify the natural flavours.‘Auslese’ means late harvest. ese wines especially from Nik Weis at St.Urbans-Hof are some of the prettiest wines in the world – being light andflowery in the nose but also with weight and length of flavour.

People may forget that Greece practically started ‘the wine business’. It wastheir culture that prized not only the grapes and their juice but the civilizedapproach to drinking these products at theatre, music and other culturalreadings and events. Mavrodaphne is a lovely dessert wine that is easy tomatch with a wide assortment of foods.

Madeira wine is made in a unique fashion in special vessels that heat and coolthe fortified mixture for a period of months. en, for our offering calledRainwater, it is aged for three years in barrels and becomes richly fruity, onlymedium dry and has nuances of dried fruit and citrus peel.

Sicily is home to the delicious fruity wines of Marsala. e wines can be bothfortified or not. e ones that are not fortified are particularly good as a dessertsipper or used in the kitchen preparation of various dishes.

In South Africa Muscadel is an important variety and for many years wasresponsible for the region’s most famous wine. Our Muscadel offering is namedaer the wife of the late Graham Beck. Beautiful wine; rich and luscious.

From California, Late is made from Viognier grapes that have been almosttransformed into ‘raisins’ by allowing them to remain on the vine until late inthe season. When Mother Nature cooperates and provides humid conditions for‘Botrytis Cinera’ to form on the skins then the wine gets even more interesting.

Ports e Port trade started in earnest as a result of the serious bickering that wasgoing on between France and England a few centuries ago. EssentiallyEngland was buying a great deal of table wine from France at the time and asa result of the ongoing conflicts with France, England was searching foralternative sources and discovered Portugal as a potential source of supply.e concept of ‘fortifying’ these table wines with brandy did two deliciousthings for the wine. One: it raised the alcohol levels and at the same timearrested the fermentation leaving a sweeter wine. Two: it ‘travelled’ betterand was in better condition on arrival than many lower alcohol table winestaking the same trip.

Wood PortCharacterized by the fact that they do most of their ‘maturing’ in woodcasks. As a result they give up their deep red color for a more tawny orauburn hue depending on the time spent in cask. Wood ports do not needdecanting since any sediment is captured in cask prior to bottling.

Vintage PortCharacterized by the fact that the grapes are from a single harvest and they dotheir maturing in bottle. As a consequence vintage port is deeper colored andneeds to be decanted off its sediment prior to serving. Vintage Port is certainlythe most famous (and expensive) ‘style’ of Port but only represents a smallpercentage of the total Port production.

Vintage Character PortA relatively ‘new’ style of Port and is a response to demand in the market for adeeply colored, richly flavoured Port with similar characteristics to Vintage Portbut soer and without the need for decanting. Oen these Ports are much lessexpensive as well. Many restaurants and hotels offer a vintage character by-the-glass which has raised the profile of these excellent Ports.

Distillates& Bitters

GrappaGrappa is made from the pomace (pressed out le overs of wine berries) ofwine. e best ones are made by artisanal methods oen in copper stills likethose used by Poli. In Italy because there are so few grappa artisans le, theyare quite busy distilling the pomace from many famous winemakers inaddition to their own production. e best Grappas are oen quite delicatein aroma but still, sometimes surprisingly, very strong in alcohol. eseshould be consumed neat in a special glass (check out the great Riedelgrappa glass) like a fine cognac or scotch. e more ‘pedestrian’ types oenneed espresso to calm them down as in ‘cafe coretto’ (corrected coffee).

Tequilae very finest Tequilas like Trago, are made from the Blue Agave plantgrown in the traditional red volcanic soils (close to Guadalajara) in higheraltitudes and carefully tended by traditional farming families (theJimadores). e key to making great tequila lies in the quality of the plantsand their harvest condition. From there the Blue Agave ‘pinas’ are crushed

and fermented in artisanal stills into the base Tequila usually called ‘Silver’, themost pure form. e best houses make a pure and lovely Silver that is bestserved like a good Grappa – i.e. in a proper glass such as a Riedel Grappa glass.It seems wrong(?) to use a great ‘Silver’ like Trago in a Margerita but the result isamazingly delicious. Oen good Tequila can be aged slightly in barrels withpositive results. ‘Reposado’ is an example of a slightly aged Tequila and seems‘bigger and richer’. Or for a longer aged Tequila try the ‘Anejo’ which has adeeper color still and carries a powerful aroma and flavour.

Bitterse original “bitter”, was created in 1845 in Milan by Bernardino Branca –Fernet Branca then became popular all over the world. Its unique and secretformula has been passed down five generations within the Branca family to thepresent day, remaining unchanged over the years. A unique, bitter liquorproduced from roots and herbs from around the world.
