STEEPED IN WHISKY OAK. INFUSED WITH GREATNESS.
This July, get your hands on a one-of-a-kind. INFUSION combines California’s two favourite red varietals, Cab Sauv and Zinfandel, with Syrah, an increasingly popular variety in the state. Combined, the three make a bold wine with an abundance of rich red and dark berry flavours, and serious tannin. But it's the story behind the name INFUSION that really makes this wine unique. In a Winexpert first, juice for this limited release was pre-oaked in-house, steeping for several months with whisky oak chips specially sourced from Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery and Distillery. This pre-oaking adds roundness to the body, elevates tannin, and infuses the juice with nuanced sweet spice and vanilla character, making this wine a truly great one.

Wine is meant for grilling too. You can cool down from manning a hot grill by sipping on a chilled glass of wine. You can use it in marinades and sauces too. The wine part of wine and cheese pizza comes from a white wine sauce. It’s a white sauce made with butter, shallot, garlic, wine, milk, and parmesan cheese.
INGREDIENTS
For the white wine sauce:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small shallot minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheesd
For the pizza:
1 homemade or store-bought pizza dough
Olive oil
1 grilled chicken breast chopped
1 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
4 ounces baby arugula leaves
1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half
White wine vinegar optional
DIRECTIONS
For the white wine sauce:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Add flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
Slowly pour in wine, whisking while pouring. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slowly pour in milk, whisking while pouring. Bring to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add parmesan cheese and whisk to combine and until cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
For the pizza:
Heat a grill to medium high (about 450° to 500°F).
Roll out dough into a circular or rectangular shape.
Place dough on a pizza peel (sprinkle pizza peel first with cornmeal for easier sliding of dough).
Use tongs to dip a paper towel into a small bowl of olive oil then brush grates with oil.
Slide the dough from the pizza peel onto the grill grates. Cover and grill for about 2 minutes, until bottom has lightly browned.
Use tongs to remove dough and place upside down on the pizza peel.
Brush uncooked side of dough with olive oil.
Spread a thin layer of sauce over dough. Top with chicken, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese.
Return pizza to the grill. Cover and cook about 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese has melted and bottom of crust has browned.
Top pizza with arugula and sliced tomatoes.
Drizzle with olive oil and white wine vinegar (if using).
