RELAX, Big Time

The Victoria Day holiday is coming up this weekend. It’s a statutory holiday in the English-speaking provinces in Canada. Interesting, while many of the former colonies of Great Britain celebrate this holiday, it is not the case in the mother country. This is also the unofficial start of Canadian summer. Opening the cottage, garden work, deck building, garage sales, house cleaning, camping, whatever the activity, Canadians don’t just drink beer which the term “May Two-Four” euphemistically seems to imply.  

We have the liberty to enjoy one’s favourite beverage of choice, with or without alcohol. The bestselling Riesling in Canada is our RELAX Riesling. And it’s now available in the economical 1.5-liter magnum size.

Hailing from the steep-sloped vineyards located along Germany’s serpentine Mosel River valley, this is the hotbed of high-quality Riesling. The fruit driven bouquet and intense flavours of apples and peaches and a hint of citrus are balanced by a pleasant crispness leaving your mouth watering. And the alcohol is a moderate 9% alc./vol. Enjoy after finishing your chosen activities this long weekend on its own, or with lighter dishes.         

So now let’s raise a glass and show a bit of class—God Save the Queen, Victoria, and let us not forget our new King, Charles II.

RELAX Riesling Magnum LCBO #30561, $27.00. Or RELAX Riesling 750 ml LCBO #621888, $14.50.
