Yesterday I received an email from Southbrook Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake announcing their release of Canada’s first certified biodynamic wine.

In celebration of Earth Day, the 2008 Cabernet Rosé is being released today. Only 550 cases were produced. Today 28 restaurants in Ontario will be celebrating the release of this wine. Enjoy a glass of this 2008 Cabernet Rosé at any one of these restaurants listed on the Southbrook website.

At the Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar, this biodynamic wine will be pair with Marinated Lake Trout Tartine with Wild Leek Sweet and Sour Mignonette. At Play Food & Wine, the wine will be paired with Hand-rolled Gnocchi with White Asparagus, Oyster Mushrooms and Sorrel Vinaigrette. Enjoy a visit to anyone of the more than two dozen restaurants that will be featuring Canada’s first biodynamic wine.

Southbrook was the first winery in Canada to receive biodynamic certification by Demeter Canada. With the popularity of biodynamics, I look forward to hearing of more biodynamic wines coming into the market and having the opportunity to taste them.

Cheers! Kathy
