Labour Day, The Wine Way

By: Pelee Island Winery

Summer is coming to a close and we wanted to share with you some of our favourite recipes to pair with your favourite Pelee Island wines for your upcoming End-Of-Summer party/ Labour Day long weekend!

Classic Corn on the Cob

Corn on the cob is a staple every summer so what better way to end the summer season than by enjoying some delicious corn on the cob, grilled on your barbecue? Here’s a recipe you have to try! Pair your corn with our Chardonnay Non-Oaked VQA which has intense ripe honeydew melon aromas on the nose. Its complimented by juicy ripe peaches and lime flavours on the palate with a lasting zesty finish. The buttery flavours of the corn will pair well with this unoaked wine.

Grilled Shrimp Foil Packets

Your last summer BBQ doesn’t have to be a full on production with these simple grilled shrimp foil packets. Think classic seafood but made easy and grilled right over your barbecue. Pair with a nice glass of Pelee Island Pinot Grigio – a compliment to any seafood dish, specifically buttery shrimp.

Grilled Ribs for Labour Day

Our friends over at Tunnel BBQ recently shared a video of some ribs they made using their Rib, Chicken and Butt Rub. Ribs are a classic meal for summertime barbecues. Pair your “fall off the bone” ribs with a glass of our Best in Show Cabernet Sauvignon.

However you’re choosing to celebrate this Labour Day, do it the wine way! Right now we have an End of Summer Sale happening where you can save up to $3 per bottle on any 750mL bottle of Rosé or sparkling wine.

Cheers!
