Our sommeliers suggest

Hardy's Stamp Riesling Gewurztraminer

Not always obvious with fruits, feta and wine! Yet I have a suggestion. Nothing expensive, only pleasure in the bottle! The Hardy's Stamp Riesling Gewurztraminer is this type of wine, which even without sunlight will warm our souls... especially at this price! A nose of honey, spice and lychee. A semi-dry mouth on a slight mineral touch very "riesling", which ensures a certain freshness! See the product

Pup Tarts Framboise, HopEra, 5%

Season acidulated with raspberries, it will offer you a beautiful aromatic addition to this fresh salad. The bright raspberry of the beer and its present acidity will be balanced by the sugar of the fruits and the fat of the feta cheese. The raspberry and fresh basil will also make a very nice little aromatic couple ! See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
