Recipe from Rome

July 16, 2010

Today we were fortunate to have guest that has moved to Canada from Rome, share with us a wonderful summertime pasta recipe that would pair up fantastically a cold glass (or bottle!) of  our Ghost of the Bogs white cranberry wine.

Authentic PASTA PRIMAVERA

Ingredients:  Fresh tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil and your favourite semolina pasta.

Boil and cook the pasta al dente. 

While you are cooking the pasta, crush (in crusher, or a quick few zaps in the food processor should do) tomatoes, leaving the skin on.  Blend in fresh minced garlic (to taste), and add freshly chopped basil (to taste).  Spoon over pasta and serve.

Authentic Primavera sauce is to be served uncooked and room temperature, for those hot summer evenings…  A taste of Italy with the perfect glass of cranberry wine.  Quick and easy.  ~Enjoy~

Inaugural Candlelight & Wine

July 11, 2010

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I’d like to say HI! to all our guests who attended the very first Candlelight & Wine evening at The Fort Wine Co.

The freshly picked and prepared foods were amazing and the wine was refreshing and delicious. I’d say it went well, but then I was the host, so does my opinion count?

A great big thank-you to Jenelle and Maureen for all the thought, planning and implementation in making the evening so special – and to our first guests for your enthusiasm and adventurous spirits.

We enjoyed having you and hope you’ll come back and see us often!

We have a wonderful guest staying with us in the parking lot.  A Killdeer!  She is protecting her 4 little eggs, and performing her broken wing dance when it’s needed. 

We have given her a little protection with cranberry totes at the front of the winery, so please take care when you are parking this summer.  Doggies, take care too:)

A Saucy Double GOLD

May 31, 2010

Great news at The Fort Wine Co.!!!

Our wonderful Saucy Cranberry Dessert Wine has recently earned a DOUBLE GOLD medal at the All Canadian Wine Championships!! 

Best Wine!

Double Gold; Best in Category

We absolutely love this refreshingly sweet wine, with a wee twist of lemon, served over crushed ice….a perfect sipper as is, or if you want to pick it up a notch, add an ounce of your favourite Vodka, for the best Crantini around.

Experiment and enjoy!
