2016 D’Ont Poke The Bear Red VQA

We love great wine, even more so when our purchase can help a great cause.  As National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month comes to an end, it’s important to continue our support to stop bullying in our schools.  D’Ont Poke the Bear is a wine that celebrates those who fight back against bullies.  $0.25 from every bottle sold will be donated to the Friends First foundation which brings awareness to anti-bullying efforts.  D’Ont Poke the Bear is a cheeky and defiant VQA wine from the Niagara Peninsula that was brought to life through the passion of two Ontario winemakers.

Enjoy With:  Burgers, steak and many other grilled foods.

Style:  Full-bodied, smooth red wine.

Terroir/Region:  D’Ont Poke the bear comes from the VQA Niagara Peninsula. The terroir is known for its rich, fertile soils and cool climate that helps produce grapes with complex, intense flavours. The alternating layers of silt, sands and clay in the soil allow for many different varietals to flourish, especially Cabernet!
