Diabolica 2012, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia BC VQA, Canada: This blend of grapes is sourced from Oliver and Osoyoos vineyards. Loaded with sweet cherry-berry flavours. Full-bodied and supple. This is a red wine blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Shiraz grapes with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. Finishes with cherry, red licorice and boysenberry.

Kacaba Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2011, V.Q.A., Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, Canada: Many people about Cabernet Sauvignon for cheddar, but I love a great Canadian Cabernet Franc. This one has a nose of savoury dried herbs and a touch of bell pepper that often accompanies Cabernet Franc, though not unpleasant at all. Full-bodied and smooth with fleshy black plums and a good finish. I'd pair this wine with Balderson Vintners' Cheddar for Red Wine, which is made with robust red wines in mind. Full disclosure: Balderson is a sponsor of the Canadian Wine Match, but I've been enjoying their cheeses for years. This wine really opens up after 1 hour of decanting.
