Michel Jodoin Cider
Rating: NNN
Why At first glance, Jodoin’s blush cider looks like sparkling rosé. Made in Quebec from red-fleshed Geneva apples, it’s delicate and refreshing, with flavours of flowers and cranberries and a funky, earthy nose.

WHAT we’re DRINKING TONIGHT
Lola Sparkling Rosé VQA
Why Pelee Island Winery’s softly sparkling (charmat method) blend of Vidal Blanc and Chambourcin is an effervescent looker, sporting one of the loveliest labels I’ve seen on an Ontario bottle this year (it won gold for best label design at the 2016 Ontario Wine Awards this spring) and an inviting blush hue. Fruit-driven, with some residual sugar, it’s got garden party written all over it (because come on, there’s still time for one more backyard rosé party this summer).
