If you’re looking for something a little more fancy than wine but want to keep your options affordable and easy, whip up some wine spritzers for your next dinner party.

For the perfect wine spritzer, we suggest choosing an aromatic Chardonnay musqué, preferably with notes of peach and orange peels. Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery in Beamsville, Ontario has a tasty 2008 Inox Chardonnay available at the LCBO for $13.

To make your spritzers, pour the wine into a white wine glass with ice and top off with club soda. Serve immediately and enjoy your drink paired with some of CF‘s favourite starters:

• Chili and Lemongrass Chicken
• Grilled Scallop Brochettes with Prosciutto and Basil
• Roasted Tomatoes with Goat Cheese Croutons

For an extra touch to your drink, throw in some fresh starfruit, blueberries or sliced strawberries and garnish with an orange slice to compliment the citrus notes in the Chardonnay.
