Ham is a delicious and popular centrepiece for many holiday feasts, from Easter to Christmas. However, choosing the perfect wine to accompany a bone-in glazed ham can be a daunting task. The sweetness and saltiness of the ham can clash with some wines, while others can enhance its flavours.

Carbonara is one of Italy’s most beloved pasta dishes, celebrated for its rich, silky sauce and savoury depth. Choosing the right wine to pair with carbonara can make an already exceptional meal even better. The dish’s creamy texture, salty guanciale, and bold Pecorino call for a wine with enough freshness and character to bring everything into balance.

Sablefish is one of British Columbia’s most prized seafoods, loved for its rich, buttery texture and delicate flavour. Choosing the right recipe allows this exceptional fish to shine without overpowering its natural character. In this blackened sablefish recipe, bold spices create a beautifully crisp crust while a creamy white wine sauce adds richness, balance, and just enough elegance to turn a simple fillet into a restaurant worthy meal.
