Roasted Beetroot & Goat's Cheese Salad
The mild saltiness of creamy goat cheese is balanced by the sweetness of the beetroot and rich, intense flavour of blood oranges – a delightful salad that is ideal as a side dish or appetizer.

Gosling’s Wine of the Week
ERATH PINOT GRIS
Erath Pinot Gris is from Oregon. It it intensely aromatic and yields sprightly wafts of banana, rose petals, and talc. The juicy palate of ripe honeydew melon, citrus and exotic lychee melds into a rich, plush crescendo, leaving the mouth with a pleasant tingle. A perfect pairing for Chef Ian’s recipe.
The retail price is $21.25 and it’s available at Lindo’s and Gosling’s stores.
