Vintages – March 19, 2016 Release Overview

Feature A – Italy Although the Italian wine scene is the most vast and nuanced in the world, encompassing more unique grape varieties and wine styles than any other, it remains defined by a simple philosophy: the pursuit of pleasure. In this feature we showcase a good mix of the breadth of Italian wines and offer something for everyone to enjoy.

Feature B – Israel Israel’s wines are less well known but still a delicious option that will appeal to any wine lover. This feature focuses on Israel as a source for quality wines and reminds customers that these wines aren’t just for Purim or Passover, as they make delicious dining partners for any occasion.

Feature C – Ontario Easter Ontario wines are perfect for Easter and this feature will include six signature Ontario varietals that are stylistically suited to springtime and very food friendly. These wines are paired with a full Easter meal from appetizer to dessert.
