Beverage Pairings

Closson Chase Vineyards Chardonnay

Peaches with cream, white flowers, nut brittle, and flinty notes greet the nose.

The mouth is loaded with ripe fruit, wet stone, and a touch of salinity.

Finish is full and complex with great balance of fruit, acid, and barrel tones.

Rosehall Run Pixie Sparking Rose

A frothy blend of Vidal with a touch of Pinot Noir contributing flavour and the distinctive bright salmon colour.

Pixie is barely off-dry, with peach, apricot, and tangerine flavours and lively refreshing acidity throughout the palate.

Stanners Pinot Noir
Intense and bright cherry, smoky oak and cloves flavours, good minerality and finely balanced acidity. 

Frülï Strawberry Beer

Aromas of ripe strawberries with hints of cereal;

lightly sweet, light to medium bodied, with cleansing carbonation,

natural flavours of ripe strawberry and toasted grain, balanced with a refreshingly long and zesty finish.

 

 

Recipes

Pickled Red Onions

Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced very thin
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, sugar, etc.)
Method  
  1. Heat the vinegar mixture. In a small saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water, salt and your desired amount of sweetener. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. (Or alternately, you can heat the mixture in the microwave.)
  2. Combine in a jar. Place the thinly-sliced onions in a mason jar. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the onions, screw on the lid, and shake the onions briefly until they are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
  3. Marinate. Let the onions marinate for 30 minutes. (You may need to press the onions down with a spoon so that they are all submerged under the vinegar mixture.)
