Uncork your generosity this weekend.

Purchase a bottle of Pelee Island VQA Premium Select Chardonnay or Cabernet Merlot at LCBO stores across the province and ten per cent of total sales from these wines will be donated to the Ontario Association of Food Banks to help your neighbours facing hunger.

Look for the special Stepping Up to the Plate brand, which will be displayed prominently in your local LCBO store.

Here are some helpful tips and tasting notes on these very special wines:
