This riff on the classic Caprese salad and traditional Gazpacho soup combines some of the best produce this season has to offer — including tomatoes, cucumber and bell pepper — to make a refreshing starter or side dish. For the best results, use buffalo mozzarella.

PREPARATION:Finely chop 3 red tomatoes. Place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Cut remaining tomatoes (red and yellow) into thick slices. Set chopped and sliced tomatoes aside separately.

Finely chop green onions, cucumber and bell pepper. Add to chopped tomatoes.

Mash garlic with a sprinkle of salt in a mortar and add to chopped tomato mixture. Stir in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil.

Cut mozzarella into slices. Place a tomato slice on each plate, top with a slice of mozzarella and a generous spoonful of chopped tomato mixture. Repeat with 1 or 2 additional layers. Garnish with arugula and sprinkle with cracked pepper. Serve immediately.

TASTING NOTES

89Keint-He Pinot Noir Benway-Little Creek Vineyard 2009, VQA Creek Prince Edward County ($39.00)

The Benway Pinot Noir is produced from the northern block of the Little Creek vineyard, from 15 year-old vines planted in high density, 4x3 spacing. The appearance is a very pale garnet red, matched by a delicate, reserved nose. Aromas range from rose petal to Turkish delight, light sweet baking spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), red peppercorn, blond caramel and even a touch of maple syrup, all sitting on a bright, tart red cherry, fresh strawberry

and modest length and depth though with a certain sapidity that invites more sips. All in all, a very light, delicate

appeal to fans of the old world, Burgundian style (very Volnay-like in fact), and a wonderful addition to the Ontario wine repertoire. Rating: 91 Points (John Szabo)

Harwood Estate 2009 St. Laurent. VQA Prince Edward County ($20.00). The nose is sour cherry with raspberry notes, while the palate delivers a nice tartness with some earthy character on both the mid-palate

TASTING NOTES


92Stratus 2009 Chardonnay, Niagara-on-the-Lake ($55.00)

Chardonnay period and

collaboration with Californian Paul Hobbs, who is making some iconic Chards in Sonoma. It’s very handsome, indeed! Expect a classic, modern, complex nose of wood spice, smoke, vanilla/butterscotch, butter and fresh cedar bough. It’s creamy, elegant and pinned on great acidity with a powerful, lemon

length. Rating: 92 Points (David Lawrason)

Sandbanks 2009 Baco Noir Reserve, Ontario ($19.95) VQA regulations prevent hybrids like Baco Noir being labelled as

County. Too bad, because it’s a good grape for making full-bodied reds in PEC. This has a generous, maturing nose of raspberry-currant fruit with some woodsy, smoky and leathery/meaty (pastrami) notes. It has a trace of sweetness, but the overall balance and drinkability is very good. Baco’s light tannin load makes this ideal for drinking now with grilled anything, as long as the barbecue sauce is bountiful. It reminds me of a southern Rhone Carignan-based blend.

DID YOU KNOW?

Did You Know?There’s nothing like sipping a cool glass of sangria on a hot summer afternoon, but how much do you really know

about this refreshing beverage? Sure it’s the original wine cooler, but there’s a lot more to it than that. In honour of

“Really very Burgundian.

Real density. Norman Hardie

“Hardie’s Chardonnays are laser-etched with acidity, minerality and the sort of

originality that only Burgundy can deliver.” – Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator

1152 Greer Road, R.R.1 Hillier, Ontario613.399.5297 www.normanhardie.com

“Norman Hardie’s Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are some of the most

Burgundian you will ! nd outside of Burgundy.” – Stephen Tanzer’s, International Wine Cellar
