Big Head wines Winery is located in Niagara s Wine region, in the center of one of the best wine region in Canada. They focus on wild fermentation and appassimento winemaking method.
Beginning with one corner of a vineyard at Vineland Estates in 1998, Andrzej Lipinski who started by doing consulting for Colaneri, Megalomaniac, Rosewood,… became one of the best wine maker in Canada. He has created one of the top winery in Niagara that we have enjoyed to visit during our trip in Canada.
Wine notes: We have tried different wines, Red wine as well as White wine , we have been seduced by this nice pale yellow gold color with lifted aromas, apple notes and a rich fruity palate.
Some hint of spice and vamilla (oak). Great value within a Great Wine!

Pair a Burger with?
No doubt about it… Bordeaux
The Burger is one of our 100 favorite dishes.
Easy to do, easy to eat and delicious with is multiple recipes. But what to pair with? a red Bordeaux wine, a white wine, from Italy? One of our best advice is to pair with a Cabernet sauvignon (Blend will do) or a Zifandel because of tannins and structure.
More precisely, a Bordeaux red wine as Bordeaux is well known for is tannins and is Cabernet Sauvignon.

Pair a Red Bordeaux
Food and Wine Pairing
With an intense passion in wine, Bordeaux for us is really special and will pair with special dishes.
Bordeaux is composed of Merlot and Cabernet which stand for 90% of Bordeaux region total production. They tend towards flavors of wild fruits as Black currants and cedar within a touch of earth and leather. Focus on complexity though changing weather.
Wineries as Chateau Rothschild, Margaux, La tour, Petrus and more will tend to be paired with Wild meat as lamb, red meat, stews as well as cheese.

Think Balance
Always think Balance
Start by thinking about the dish as a whole.
Is it creamy?
Is it spicy?
Is it Rich or acidic?
Keep flavors in Balance is really easy, match big flavorful foods (ex: Pepper steak with scicy) with big wines as a Red Zinfandel..
Match mild foods with mild wine for example a red Merlot. Another one if you cook a Chicken in cream pair it with a rich Chardonnay.
