Celebrating National Red Wine Day in Calgary

While our friends south of the border may claim the title of National Red Wine Day, there's no reason Canadians can't also raise a glass in celebration. After all, red wine knows no boundaries!

August 28th has become a day for oenophiles everywhere to appreciate the intricate flavours, history, and artistry that go into every bottle of red wine. And on this article, Cork Fine Wines is here to explore how you can celebrate National Red Wine Day, Calgarian style.

The Booming Canadian Red Wine Industry

Over the past few decades, Canadian vineyards, particularly those in British Columbia and Ontario, have gained international acclaim. It’s clear that Canadian wine is on the rise, with regions like the Okanagan Valley and Niagara Peninsula known to produce exceptional reds.

There's no need for apprehension for those hesitant about diving into the world of reds. If your palate leans towards the sweeter side, rest assured there's a red wine tailored just for you!

Additionally, blended wines present a harmonious merging of flavours, delivering the finest from various wine realms.

Red Wine Knows No Bounds

Red wine varietals enchant us with a spectrum of hues, from deep ruby reds to delicate ambers and rich browns. These captivating shades evoke the imminent shift in seasons, heralding a delightful transformation in culinary offerings.

…And honestly, is there a more refined way to appreciate a fine bottle of red than alongside delectable dishes and splendid company? Remember, the versatility of red wine knows no bounds – be it with a crisp salad, a juicy steak, or a decadent dessert, there's a perfect pairing waiting to be discovered.

Supporting Local Vineyards

Embracing Red Wine Day is also a fantastic way to support local businesses in Calgary. With the many wine tours, tasting sessions, and vineyard getaways available throughout the country, there's never been a better excuse to explore what's in our backyard.

Consider a glass of red with perfectly paired Canadian food. Consider classic Canadian treats like poutine, tourtière, or even butter tarts, and see how they meld with different wines.

Celebrating National Red Wine Day, Calgarian Style!

While National Red Wine Day may have originated in the United States, its essence is something every wine lover, Canadian or not, can appreciate. By celebrating this day, we're also acknowledging the interconnectedness of our two nations through a shared love of good wine.

Shop our excellent selection of Red Wine online, or swing by our wine store in the heart of downtown Calgary! If you’re new to red wine or want to try something new, Cork Fine Wines also hosts wine-tasting events on Thursdays & Fridays from 1:00 - 6:00 PM.
