Carolina Hurricanes 2022 Wine Pairing: Lacour Tourny Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet
Wine Notes
Last year the Carolina Hurricanes were paired with a wine by former Canes goalie and Stanley Cup winner, Cam Ward, (read the article here). This year the Carolina Hurricanes are paired with another Cabernet Sauvignon blend, this time with Merlot from Bordeaux. For all of you folks who feel intimidated by wine and the mystic of the Bordeaux region, this is a wine that is approachable and affordable for you – sound like the Carolina Hurricanes? Yes, and the best part is you will enjoy it!
So, how approachable and affordable is Lacour Tourny Merlot Cab Sauv? $11.95 at the LCBO
Hockey WineUp Talking Point: If Château Lafite Rotschild is Mario Lemieux, Lacour Tourny Bordeaux is Ron Francis.

Team Notes
Is there a more entertaining and loveable team in the NHL with the best social media team that is totally going to retweet this wine pairing than the Carolina Hurricanes? All pandering aside, the Canes have been a force in the NHL for the past 3 years and the 2021-22 campaign should be no different. The Carolina Hurricanes are perennial underdogs, they know it, they thrive on it, and will spend this season surprising people who don’t pay enough attention to them, just like Lacour Tourny Bordeaux.
