Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’ve found a great way to say “I love you” (and it’s much more original than a sappy greeting card!). Set the scene for a romantic candlelit dinner pour deux with a bottle of vino from the Poetica series by Southbrook Vineyards (southbrook.com). Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Southbrook is the first winery in Canada to incorporate labels inspired by the words of 11 noteworthy Canadian poets from different eras, including Charles G.D. Roberts (pre-Confederation) and Gwendolyn MacEwen (1960s). The Poetica series features nine of the winery’s flagship varieties, such as Cabernet Merlot and Chardonnay, so there’s something for every palate. “Poetica showcases our highest quality wine,” says Bill Redeimeier, the founder of Southbrook Vineyards. “The wine in the bottle honours the poetry on the labels and, in turn, the poetry honours the wine in the bottle.” A delicious wine that supports the arts in Canada? We can definitely raise a glass to that!
