[quote]Summer is slowly winding down and for many the barbecue season will come to an unfortunate end. Luckily the Labour Day extended weekend gives most of us another opportunity to grill meats, veggies, fish and seafood one last time this summer.
In this week’s column, I’ve selected a trio of very enjoyable wines ideal for barbecue grilling. Knowing the classic yet simple menu of the BBQ, these flavourful and well balanced wines were chosen for their versatility. When it comes to matching marinated grilled meat, fish and seafood, we must keep in mind the spicy flavours that enhance our foods. The following wines should marry well with the dishes recommended. Enjoy!
A lovely white:
The Wolftrap 2012 Franschhoek, Boekenhoutskloof, South Africa 16,70 $
A refreshing rosé:
Domaine de Gournier 2012 IGP Cévennes, France 12,45 $
