About My Sausages

Salsiccia Ubriaca (Drunken Sausage)

I make these sausages using pasture-raised Heritage Pork from small family-run farms in Ontario. The secret is the addition of high quality wine in a concentrated form. This results in a variety of sausages that enable you to experience the flavours of different types of wine.  The only ingredients used are: Heritage Pork, natural casings, kosher salt, pepper and concentrated wine.  The wine reduction is a unique process that I invented which allows me to maximize the amount of wine in each sausage.

As local meat becomes available, I make the most popular varieties in small batches, primarily for the enjoyment of Studio guests, friends and family.

Wine-infused Sausages

Riesling Salsiccia

Riesling and pork is a classic match, so it makes perfect sense to marry the two in this sausage. The wine adds a subtle citrus note to the smoky/sweet pork, which is left in a fairly chunky state for added texture.
