Okanagan Chardonnay
Chardonnay from the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia with its dry, hot summer days and cooler nights is exceptional. A vivid gold wine in the glass, the nose hints of fruits; pineapple, mango, and apple with sweet floral honey. There is a lively acidity and delicate French oak to deliver a balanced, complex wine. This wine will pair well both with Holiday meals (roast turkey, mashed potatoes and baked squash) or lighter fare like Cobb Salad.

Niagara Gewürztraminer
This wine from the Niagara Peninsula has strong hints of lychee, spice and roses. It is aromatic and fruity with a crisp acidity, well balanced with a just off-dry finish from the Süss-Reserve pack. The crisp acidity pairs well with spicy Asian cuisine or try it with smoked salmon appetizers.

Washington Pinot Gris
This fragrant wine from Washington State has pears, apples and melon on the nose and is balanced by a crisp mouth watering acidity creating a smooth, easy to drink, dry wine that leaves an impression. On its own this wine works beautifully as an aperitif or with soft cheese but it pairs well with shellfish and light pastas.

California Cabernet Sauvignon
Ripe berries and black currants dominate with more subtle hints of green pepper, the oak softens this wine creating layers of tobacco and spicy vanilla. Full-bodied and gripping when young, given time this will mature into a smooth, complex, delightful wine. This meaty wine pairs well with roast beef, a pasta dish with a hearty red Bolognese sauce or dark bitter chocolate.

California Merlot
This deliciously smooth and velvety wine has sweet red berries and dried fruit on the nose with a slight toasted vanilla oak note. Medium bodied, due to slightly lower tannin and a fruity flavour, this wine is flavourful without being overwhelming. Pair this wine with milder cuts of beef like tenderloin, meatier fish – Salmon
or Tuna, or roasted chicken.

California Syrah
A fruity, drinkable vintage of this dark red wine, it is spicy with a hit of black pepper and rich red fruit flavours. Round and full, with good tannins and a rich oak flavour, this is a well balanced, satisfying wine. Look for a grilled, rib eye steaks to pair with this wine, the rich juiciness is necessary to stand up to the powerful structure of this robust red.
