Although known for its stellar white and ice wines, Ontario's Niagara region also produces remarkable red wines: the inspiration for our Menu of the Month.

Menu:

Niagara Peach Sangria

Serve this potent punch in clear glasses so that you can see the glistening fruit.

Composed Vegetable Salad with Red Wine Mayonnaise

Using pasteurized liquid eggs makes this homemade mayonnaise safe for everyone to eat.

Pork Tenderloin with Beet-Merlot Sauce

Beets and red wine combine to make a zesty-tasting, jewel-coloured sauce for roasted pork tenderloin.

Red Wine Risotto with Rapini and Toasted Pine Nuts

Serve this hearty comfort food with a glass of the same wine used to make it.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Poached Pears in Gamay Syrup

This sophisticated dessert is the perfect way to end any dinner party.
