Wine from Canada and Asian cuisine: Why this combination works surprisingly well Wine from Canada paired with an Asian dish—that sounds unusual, but the Niagara Peninsula has produced exactly the type of wine that shines in this pairing. The grilled corn-fed chicken with peanut satay sauce is a dish full of contrasts: the smoky, roasted […]

Wine & Cheese Day: 6 Pairings You’ve Never Tried Before
July 25: Six Cheeses, Six Overseas Wines—and the Reasoning Behind Them Every year on July 25 is National Wine and Cheese Day—a holiday launched in 2014 by American author and foodie Jace Shoemaker-Galloway. Her idea was simple and compelling: Wine and cheese have been an inseparable pair for millennia—in France, Italy, Spain, and everywhere else […]
The Flatterer from the Lake Meets the Sandwich That Needs No Apology Montreal smoked meat isn’t the kind of sandwich you can explain. You order it, you get it, you eat it—and then you understand why there’s been a line out the door at Schwartz’s Deli on Boulevard Saint-Laurent since 1928. Spiced beef brisket, marinated […]
Do you miss Canada? Here’s your plan for July 1. It’s July 1. In Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, the streets are aglow with red and white. Somewhere, someone is grilling; somewhere, fireworks are going off; somewhere, someone is sipping a cold beer on a porch and thinking: This is Canada. And you? You’re in Germany. […]
Sweetness needs acidity—and an ice wine harvested in January There’s one question that’s debated more seriously in Canada than many political issues: Butter tarts—runny or firm? Anyone from Ontario has an opinion. Some want the filling to ooze out of the pastry shell at the first bite—warm and caramel-like, almost liquid. Others insist on a […]

It’s the dish that French-Canadian families have been serving for generations at Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and major holidays: ground pork and beef, seasoned with cinnamon, […]
A nine-year-old Niagara red wine doesn’t need a beer after work—it needs poutine Poutine is not a meal that makes excuses. French fries, cheese curds, brown gravy—for over sixty years, it’s been Canada’s unofficial answer to the question of what to eat when you really want to eat. The deluxe version adds pulled pork, caramelized […]
Maple syrup is not a dessert flavoring Maple syrup is a choice. When you pour it into a hot pan and begin to caramelize the salmon in it, you get one of the most beautiful flavors a kitchen can offer—deep, warm, with a hint of smoke that blends with the fish’s fat to create a […]
That’s what almost everyone says when the topic comes up. And almost everyone is wrong. I’ll admit it: I’ve thought that myself. Canada—that’s maple syrup, hockey, and endless forests. Wine? At most, as a souvenir from Niagara Falls, while you’re freezing on the observation deck. But then, for the first time, I found myself standing […]
