SHIRAZ
Here is a wine that accompanies rich flavoured meats and pastas perfectly. It's dark and hearty with traces of warm berries, pepper and oak.
VIDAL
A very popular wine in Ontario because the grape is particularly well suited to local conditions. It would not be immodest to claim that some of the best Vidals come from Niagara. Originally the grape is another French hybrid and it produces wine that can be made in a range between dry and semi-sweet. Vidal is an easily identifiable wine because of its hint of peach and apricot in the bouquet. Serve Vidal with fish and chicken dishes to experience it at its best. Vidal can be drunk young but can also be aged between tree and five years.
