Beaufort AOCA Lush Cheese from

Monet Country

The painter Monet used the pastures o

Savioe-Beauortain, in the French Alps, as

the subject or many a magical canvas. These pastures are unploughed and

unenced and contain thousands o herbs.

This provides the ‘Tarine’ cows with resh

grazing in the summer and aromatic hay

in winter. The resultant milk is sweet, nutty,

and complex.

It takes 35 cows to make one wheel

o Beauort. Because o this, herdsmen

have ormed co-ops and shared tasks like

milking and maturing.

A young Beauort is rm but not too

hard. It melts in the mouth and has arich, sweet, complex favour. I aged, it

develops more honeyed, aromatic notes

and a long, savoury tang that hints o

meadow fowers.

Beauort is protected by the AOC

designation and can only be produced in

1112 acres in the Rhone-Alpes.

Winter Reds For all Occasions: By Courtney Henderson, F&B Manager and

Sommelier of FRANK at the AGO It is always a un task to match wine to your avourite dish, mood and

even season. With winter and the holidays just around the corner, here aresome tips to fnd great matches or every occasion:

A greAt pArty red

(to kNock

everyoNe’s socks

off): Go or a lighter

body red that will matcha variety o oods. Try

and stay away romhigher alcohol content

wines - they tend to not beas ood-riendly and can

numb your palate. Lightaromatic reds such as pinot

noir or gamay are greatchoices.

fAvourite LocALs: > 13th Street, Gamay Noir,

Niagara

> Malivoire, Gamay, Niagara

A red to wArm up

with: Try a uller bodied

wine – look or redproduced in a warmer

climate. Alcohol contentis usually a key component

or ull-bodied wines.Wines rom the south o

France, Spain, Australia,Chile, and Caliornia are

great places to start!

greAt fiNds:

> Beronia, Rioja Reserva,Spain

> M. Chapoutier , Cotes duRhone Villages, France> Marques de Casa Concha,

Carmenere, Chile

A red for gift giviNg:

What better way to say

“happy holidays” than witha bottle o wine? I tend

to give bottles with goodaging potential such as

an Italian Amarone or aCaliornia Cabernet. You

can usually fnd a goodrange rom low to high

end at your local LCBO.

A Visit to the

Sorauren Farmers’ Market

The Sorauren Market should

have the word “charm”

inserted onto its sandwich

board sign because it gave

me a warm uzzy eeling, and

it wasn’t just because the

sun was shining brightly into

Sorauren Park.

From the sweet heritage

mini-tomatoes (which I

taste-tested rom Clover

Roads Organic Farm), to the

delicious home-baked spelt

oatmeal raisin cookies, to

the lush baskets o Ontario

peaches and ragrant basil,

there was a wonderul variety

or such a small market that

extended beyond ood to

various soaps or hair and

body made by Colleen rom

Enfeurage Organics, who I bought Thai

Lavender soap rom.

It was easy or me to meander

through the market and not really pay

attention to my direction because the

vendors were situated in a circular

ormation, each with their own tent.

In act, I went around the circle a

ew times to make sure I didn’t miss

anything. There was an easy-going

eel to this market, and the live music

playing certainly helped. However, i it

were raining, the soggy muddy grass

would have likely turned into a swamp

as, ater all, it was in park. Lucky orme, it was nice out.

Most o the armers were eager to

give cooking suggestions, which are

always helpul i you are buying an

odd-looking vegetable that you don’t

recognize. I bought some beets and

was delighted that Ashlee rom Food

Cycles reminded me that I shouldn’t

discard the beet greens, which - being

a holistic nutritionist - I knew, but was

impressed nonetheless.

There were bargains to be had. The

cucumbers I bought or juicing rom

The Cutting Veg were discounted

because I was eager to purchase more

than just a ew. It's always a great sign

when they are willing to wheel and

deal the price o the vegetables with

you.

All in all, this was a riendly market

o knowledgeable armers and people

who genuinely love ood as much as

I do. I made a juicy caprese salad with

my heritage tomatoes that I enjoyed

with riends, but the cookie I bought

didn’t last very long because I ate it onmy walk home.
