Spring Has Sprung – Big Size Bonus

It looks like winter is finally behind us, fingers crossed. Spring has sprung associated with rebirth, renewal and growth as we transition from the dormancy of winter to life. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and warmth over cold, often associated with new beginnings, joy, and increased energy, along with activities like planting, cleaning, and blooming flowers. Throwing off our parkas, we transition to lighter foods – comfort foods are put on the back burner, literally. Ditto with beverages, darker coloured ones segue to lighter, more refreshing choices. Less red wine more white wine. In fact, the pendulum is swinging back to greater white wine consumption away from the red wine dominance of the last two decades. 

Riesling, as most wine folks agree, is one of the most versatile white wines. Lighter bodied, aromatic, off-dry, low alcohol, packed with flavour, it’s a crowd pleaser. Savour on its own. It’s also the perfect pairing for most lighter dishes. Relax Riesling, hailing from Germany, the home of this noble grape, is North America’s best selling brand of Imported Riesling. Since it’s spring, pair with spring rolls whether vegetarian, seafood or white meat based. Available in the 750 mL and 1500 mL size formats.

Till April 25, 100 Aeroplan Bonus Miles may be collected at your favourite LCBO with the purchase of the 1500 mL size.
