Not that I ever need too much of an excuse to serve sparkling wine or Champagne, but Canada's 143rd birthday seems like a good enough reason don't you think? I have listed them in order of $, $$, and $$$ depending on your bubbles budget:
($) GIOVELLO PROSECCO (Italy)
LCBO 85316 - $ 14.95
(4 Bonus Air Miles till Jul 17th)
(4 Bonus Air Miles till Jul 17th)
Lovely, light & fresh - perfect for Brunch ! Mix with orange juice only if you must....
($$) DOMAINE CHANDON BRUT CUVEE (California)
LCBO 94946 - $24.90
A bit more substantial, showing its sunny California personality, enjoy with chicken Caesar salad.
($$$) POL ROGER BRUT CUVEE RESERVE CHAMPAGNE (France)
LCBO 51953 - $58.55
In my opinion, Champagne (the real stuff - from France that is...) is always worth the price if you can afford it. This one is pure elegance so bring on the oysters (try www.oysterboy.ca on Queen St. W.).
And for those of you who want a red wine to go with your Canada Day BBQ, try:
CHATEAU CANADA Bordeaux Superieur AOC (France)
LCBO 559468 - $ 14.90
Can't think of a better day to give this one a try - pair this dry Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend with a juicy burger -- but hold the sweet BBQ sauce 'cause sweet sauces are not kind to dry wines....
Later,
Mo
