Featherstone Joy Premium Cuvée Sparkling Wine 2009, Ontario The packaging is novel and smart. Featherstone uses no corks on its still wines, just screwcaps. When it came time to produce a sparkling wine, owners Louise Engel and David Johnson ditched the mushroom cork and instead used a simple crown cap. For elegant flair, there's a G-string-like red ribbon draped over the cap and glued down at two points on the neck. It means you've got to slip off the ribbon before popping the cap, which is a nice ceremony. The wine's elegant, too, dry but with subtly sweet citrus flavour and a pleasantly chalky finish. Available in Ontario LCBO stores beginning Oct. 26; featherstonewinery.ca.
