My very favourite sweet wine for finishing any special occasion dinner! Deep gold in the glass, there's honey and rich stone fruit aromas. Rich and viscous on the palate with peach that goes on and on, to a slightly smoky finish. Can be served with fruit desserts or a soft, mild cheese selection. But such a treat on its own!

Another great vintage from the winemaker Michel Chapoutier for his Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem. This vintage is noted for its example of "terroir". Mainly a blend of Syrah(aroma), Grenache (silkiness) and Carignan (acidity), there are aromas of blackberry and currants. Leather and forest earthiness are evident from the oak aging. Pair with lamb!

A deep, dark garnet Barolo with "legs" that announce the higher alcohol level and tannins to come. Dried cherries and a perfect balance of acidity and tannins. Roasted red meats, like lamb or beef, will match this wonderful example of this aged, Nebbiolo wine.

A 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany, the wine presents medium garnet with aromas of soft cherry and mushroom. So well balanced with a long finish. Wonderful! Pair with roasted or grilled red meats.

A perennial favourite, Burrowing Owl's Chardonnay is a British Coloumbian wine that is full-bodied. Pale gold in the glass, tropical fruit, peach, and herbal aromas. On the palate, the oak reveals itself in caramel notes offset by the minerality provided by the low acidity. Notes of licorice and petrol on the finish. Pair with seafood, cream sauce dishes, and herbal touches of fennel and anise.
