Cheryl’s Summer Picks
Deep Roots Limoncello
Carefully and locally distilled at Deep Roots Distillery in Warren Grove PEI, each sip of this Limoncello transports you to sun-drenched orchards and lemon groves, capturing the zest and essence of Italy’s Amalfi Coast in every bottle.
Savour the bright, citrusy notes of Deep Roots Limoncello as it tantalizes your palate with its refreshing sweetness and delicate aroma. Experience the crispness of freshly picked lemons, balanced by a subtle warmth that lingers on the tongue, leaving behind a sweet sense of summer bliss.
Hold and Hollo Dry Tokaji
“If you’re looking to try something truly unique, Hold and Hollo is a conversation starter in every glass—bright, textured, and completely captivating.”
Hailing from Hungary’s famed Tokaj region, this dry white wine is a modern take on a historic terroir. Crafted from native grape varieties like Furmint and Hárslevelű, Hold and Hollo Dry is crisp and aromatic, with notes of white peach, citrus, green herbs, and a subtle mineral edge. It’s dry, but with a vibrant fruitiness and zippy acidity that make it endlessly food-friendly.
I love pairing it with goat cheese, sushi, or anything with a touch of spice—it cuts through richness beautifully. It’s also a great aperitif; chill it well and let its electric personality shine.
If you’re ready to explore beyond the usual whites, this one’s a fresh and exciting place to start.
Henry of Pelham Speck Family Reserve Baco Noir VQA
“This is one of my go-to reds when I want something bold, smooth, and proudly Canadian.”
Crafted in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula, Henry of Pelham’s Baco Noir Reserve is a rich, full-bodied red with deep blackberry, dark cherry, and mocha notes, wrapped in warm spice and subtle smoky oak. Aged in American oak barrels, it brings out the grape’s natural intensity while keeping everything beautifully balanced and drinkable.
I love serving this with grilled meats, mushroom dishes, or anything off the BBQ—it stands up to big flavours and brings its own personality to the table. It’s also great for sipping by the fire or sharing over a hearty dinner.
If you’re exploring Canadian reds or want something with both structure and soul, this Reserve Baco is a standout.
Fournier Père et Fils’ Silex Sancerre
From the heart of the Loire Valley, Fournier Père et Fils’ Silex Sancerre is a stunning expression of Sauvignon Blanc—bright and zesty with citrus, flint, and just a whisper of white peach. The “silex” (or flint) soils give this wine its signature mineral backbone, adding tension and elegance to every sip.
It’s an easy favourite for seafood—think seared scallops, goat cheese salads, or fresh PEI oysters. Clean, focused, and beautifully made, it’s also one of those wines that feels right on a spring afternoon or as an aperitif with friends.
If you love Sauvignon Blanc with finesse and that classic Sancerre edge, this one’s a standout.
Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut Rosé
Joseph Perrier’s Cuvée Royale Brut Rosé is a Champagne that balances finesse with vibrancy—delicate red berry notes, a touch of citrus, and fine bubbles that dance on the palate. There’s a subtle creaminess here too, giving it both freshness and depth in every glass.
It makes a beautiful gift—especially with Mother’s Day around the corner. Whether you’re toasting Mom at brunch or dropping off something special just for her, this bottle brings a little luxury to the moment. I also love it with smoked salmon, soft cheeses, or strawberry desserts.
If you’re looking for a rosé Champagne that delivers both style and substance, this one shines!
