Great Earth Day Drinks

Green in a glass

You don't have to be a "Tree Hugger" to appreciate healthier food and drink choices. With Earth Day activities going on all over the country, here are a few organic and inexpensive libations to enjoy with guests this weekend!

* If you live in Ontario, you know about the LCBO (aka Candyland for grown-ups). I found these libations there, all well under $20 each.

35 SOUTH CAB SAUV MERLOT ORGANIC Chile—$12.05




Bright ruby colour with aromas of cassis, soft fruits and subtle earthiness.

Serving Suggestion: Grilled steak or Steak and spinach salad

BONTERRA CHARDONNAY California (Fetzer Vineyards)—$16.95

Flavours of banana, peach, melon, caramel and oak

Serving Suggestion: Spiced Honey Lemon Chicken With Mango Salsa
 

SOUTHBROOK ORGANIC WHITE CONNECT VQA Ontario—$14.95




Aromas of peach, melon and apricot; slightly off-dry with refreshing acidity.

Serving Suggestion: Drink chilled and match with mild seafood or Asian inspired hors d'oeuvres

MILL STREET ORGANIC LAGER 6 Pack Ontario—$13.15




Light to medium with malty, floral flavours and balanced hoppy bitterness.

Serving Suggestion: Drink chilled and serve with Kabobs on the grill

Happy Earth Day!
