HELPFUL TIPS
Krasna Hora Herr Gewürtz Orange Wine
Made with three separate clones, this orange wine is full of tropical fruit, yesty, baked bread notes and a light tannic structure that adds wonderful complexity. Orange wine is a white wine that is treated in the fermentation process very much like a red wine.
Discover a new favourite! This is your opportunity to try different grape varieties, styles (blends, sparkling, sherry, fortified, sweet, orange, rose, etc.) or brands that you may have been curious about but haven’t yet had the chance to try.
Gran Araucano Cabernet Sauvignon
A wine by Françios Lurton. The vines used for this 100% Cabernet are ungrafted old vines that have an exceptional concentration. Fresh blackcurrant and plum waft with perfectly integrated oak; the palate is rich with fruit and awash in velvet tannins.
Look like an expert! Did you know
there’s an order to tasting wine? To avoid wearing out
your palate, start by sampling dry sparkling and white wines, then move to rosé and dry red wines, and finish your night with sweet wines.
Benjamin Bridge Piquette
A lightly sparkling, citrusy dry wine with a low alcohol content of 6%. Piquette is a refreshing choice for spring and summer get togethers. On the nose; a cascade of freshly squeezed ruby grapefruit and lime zest is interlaced with suggestions of blooming lavender tree. On the palate; a myriad of lively citrus notes creates the most refreshing balance between hints of zesty lime and a delicate touch of Maritime salt.
Stay hydrated! Slow down your consumption by getting a
bottle of water and making sure to consume just as much water as wine. Eating also helps slow the absorption of alcohol so be sure to take advantage of the amazing food vendors at the festival.
