Not only a cool label but a great wine as well. 2014 La Posta Pizzella Malbec. What a great expression of an Argentinean Malbec. Plum, chocolate and coffee for $15.95 @lcbo. Highly recommended. #wine #winefordays #winetasting #winetime #wineforlife #redwine #malbec #Argentina #wino #wineporn #argentinawine #mendoza #mendozamalbec #lapostawines #pizzella #lcbovintages #burlington #BurlON #hamilton #hamont #Oakville #oakont #corkscrewandcutter (at Aldershot, Burlington)

Méthode Cap Classique for Winter and everything you should know about it🥂

As we’re in the last stretch of winter and it’s starting to get warmer, I think it’s time we ditch the red wines and glühweins.

Champagne/ Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) is one of the perfect drinks to pair with winter meals. The toasty, honey, cinnamon and undertones of fruity flavors pair impeccably with every course of your winter menu but it’s even more of a wine experience with fruity desserts such as panna cotta.

The Bon Courage Jacques Bruère happened to be my favorite everyday winter MCC. It’s a beautiful collaboration of the Pinot noir and Chardonnay grape that has a rich and creamy palate with a hint of fresh citrus fruits.

For those who don’t know, Méthode Cap Classique and Champagne are made exactly the same way but because we don’t use French grapes and did not make it in the Champagne region, we are not obliged to call MCC a Champagne.

How to find the right bottle of Champagne/ MCC for you:

Brut - These wines are drier and contains less residual sugar.

Brut Millésimé - ‘Millésimé’ refers to a Vintage year or a vintage wine. This means that it comes from a single vintage and is in no correlation to the quality.

Demi-sec - This is a semi dry wine and usually contains between 32 grams and 50 grams of sugar per liter.

Rosé - This is known as “pink champagne” and is occasionally made with a blend of two or more grapes of white and red to achieve the pink colour of the wine.

Blanc de noirs - The French term (white of blacks) means it’s a white wine made from black grapes. This wine is made by obtaining the grape juice from red wine grapes with as minimal contact from the skin, which then produces a slightly yellower colour than wine produced from white grapes.

Blanc de Blancs - The French term (white from white) means that the wine was made only with Chardonnay grapes or with Pinot Blanc (very rare).

Prestige Cuvée - This is the finest champagne that a winemaker can produce. They choose the finest grapes in the vineyards to make it. In most cases this can be a premium vintage Champagne but it’s also possible to find a non-vintage prestige cuvée.

Please tell me what your favorite winter MCC’s are, I’d love to try them!

Happy Wine Wednesday kids 🍷
