The Toast of the Town
Rosé has taken Lake Erie by storm. Here's where to find it — and what to pair it with.

Why does it seem like nobody but your grandma drank rosé and now — out of nowhere — the blush-hued wine has become the warm-weather drink of choice for oenophiles across the globe?

“It’s huge,” says Lydia Tomek, the winemaker at Burning Kiln winery in Saint Williams, Ontario. “Rosé has evolved to become a more sophisticated, fruit-forward, drier wine. It used to have a stigma as being a little sweet.”

Burning Kiln’s 2016 Broken Needle Rosé ($18.95), for example, is made with Merlot grapes and has notes of strawberry and watermelon. It’s quick-pressed, which results in a crisp, refreshing wine.

What does it pair well with? 

“Everything,” says Tomek. “Seriously."

Pick up a bottle at Burning Kiln (519-586-9858, burningkilnwinery.ca) or check out one of these other Lake Erie rosés.
