Beringer White Zinfandel
$9.95 at the LCBO
In the online version of last week’s column, someone accused The Varsity of buying wine “for the alcoholics that work at The Varsity.” My editor quickly swooped in and clarified that the wine is purchased out of my own pocket. Now, if The Varsity or anyone else in the U of T community wishes to support the column with an upcoming Christmas gift, they cannot go wrong with a rosé.
Rosé is traditionally a summer wine but if you like sweet wines it is fantastic year-round. The Beringer White Zinfandel is sweet, light-bodied, and has a wonderful floral bouquet. Best paired with chicken, pasta, or spicy dinners, make sure to chill this wine before uncorking. Drinking rosé after Labour Day becomes slightly uncouth and it starts to become more difficult to find in stores. If you’re really daring, try this wine as the base of a Sangria and prepare to have your mind blown.
