Debbie’s Winter Picks
Piedra Negra Malbec
Piedra Negra, with notes of blackberry, red plum and sweet tobacco make this wine distinctly an Argentinian style Malbec. It is dry, medium bodied with smooth tannins, black fruit and cocoa on the finish. Fruit forward aromas and mellow tannins make Malbec a fantastic pairing with full flavored cheese and main courses. For a traditional Argentine experience pair the Piedra Negra with Grilled Flank Steak and Chimichurri with roasted potatoes. Adding blue cheese to a Classic Bacon Cheese Burger will create a flavour connection that will quickly become a new favorite!
Laphroaig 10 Year Old Islay Scotch
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a loud and proud whisky form Islay, Scotland. This is a full bodied and smoky style with abundant peat on the nose and palate. Expect some seaweed and salty notes with slight residual sugar on the finish. This is a classic dram ideal for the whisky connoisseur on your shopping list.
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is a powerful yet subtle malt and matches well with foods that are compatible with its power and complexity. Try pairing with smoked fish, grilled lamb, blue cheese or Christmas pudding. Slàinte mhath
