This sommelier, wine consultant for <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attraits\/where-to-stay-hotels-hotel-chateau-bromont\/\">Ch\u00e2teau-Bromont<\/a> and event planner, is passionate about successful pairings. She proposes four wines which\u00a0 are truly excellent choices for accompanying numerous festive moments over the following weeks!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sparkling Wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just impossible not to have a little sparkle during the Holidays!\u201d says Kristine. It\u2019s just unheard of! She suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attraits\/what-to-do-agro-tourism-vineyards-le-chateau-de-cartes-vignoble-et-cidrerie\/\">Ch\u00e2teau de Cartes Vineyard<\/a>\u2019s 2016 sparkling ros\u00e9. It\u2019s a simple, festive wine with clear citrus aromas,\u201d explains the specialist, \u201cand it\u2019s not too sweet.\u201d It\u2019s the ideal accompaniment for hors d\u2019oeuvres, antipasto platters and terrines.<\/p>\n<p>Price: $29. Available, among other places, at SAQ online<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>White Wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI especially like <strong>Vidal, a white wine produced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attraits\/what-to-do-agro-tourism-vineyards-val-caudalies-vignoble-et-cidrerie\/\">Val Caudalies vineyard<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d says Kristine Mansuy. I think we should always have a bottle in the fridge!\u201d According to the sommelier, its characteristics make it the perfect pairing wine: very dry and sharp, mineral and fresh. \u201cIt can be savoured as an aperitif and also accompany many dishes, for example, oysters, tartars and ceviche.<\/p>\n<p>Price: $29.95. Sold in certain grocery stores (IGA and M\u00e9tro) and at the vineyard boutique.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Red Wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The sommelier selected <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attraits\/what-to-do-agro-tourism-vineyards-domaine-les-brome\/\">L\u00e9on Courville vigneron<\/a>\u2019s 2016 R\u00e9serve Baco. \u00ab\u00a0<\/strong>It is an exceptional wine,\u00a0\u00bb she says. \u00ab\u00a0Somewhat in the style of Pinot Noir wines, this one stands out with its elegance and fine in-mouth freshness.\u00a0\u00bb If you wish to really impress your guests, serve it with locally grown duck or squab. Success is yours to have.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vin Gris <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A pairing of <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attraits\/what-to-do-agro-tourism-vineyards-vignoble-de-lorpailleur\/\">Orpailleur<\/a>\u2019s 2017 Vin Gris will make your cheeses, especially your blue cheese, and your (not too sweet) desserts, among other dishes, taste even better! \u201cThis wine is extremely well-balanced and has a nice acidity to it,\u201d says Kristine Mansuy.<\/p>\n<p>Price: $16. Available online<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll enjoy a truly successful Holiday season (anytime, in fact!) when you opt for these four selections; a sure value to place on your table, to bring along or to offer as a gift.

Many other workshops have also been developed by <a href=\"http:\/\/kikico.ca\">KIKICO<\/a>, the company she founded and which thrives on \u201call that is fine and good,\u201d just as what we wish for you during this Holiday season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which wine should you choose to accompany your Holiday festivities?
