What do Canadian patriarchs love most (other than their families and sporting events)? Their barbecues.
There’s something about basking in smoke and sunshine, the perfume and sizzle of grilled meat, the sense of purpose gleaned from an entire table full of happy, sauce-smeared faces enthusiastically nodding approval that really does it for dads.
Your old man’s probably sipping beer while manning the ‘cue, but come dinnertime, hook him up with Rib Shack Red Vintage Blend. He’ll go for a burly, big-flavour vino like this South African blend of Pinotage and Shiraz to complement the fruits of his “world-famous” grilling skills. (Psst, it’s only 13 bucks, but he doesn’t need to know.)
