produces a wine that is a very pale straw colour boasting a nose of
lemon-grass, melon and floral aromas with a slight kiss of honey. It is
a dry, medium body white wine with crisp acidity and a clean citrus
finish. A great accompaniment to lemon chicken, mango salad, lobster
bisque; pork loin baked with apples in brandy.

This Chilean Chardonnay is typical of this
wine region with its medium-bodied character and lots of fruit. Fresh
aromas and flavours of ripe melon and pear are balanced by delicate

if you prefer age for several months. A perfect pairing for succulent
seafood dishes like lobster and grilled shrimp. Includes premium
American regular and toasted oak. |

chicken. |
| Okanagan Valley Chardonnay -

Plenty of ripe fruit both on the nose and
on the palate such as fresh peach, pear and apple nicely accented by
refreshing lemon and lime and a sprinkle of spice. Oak and vanilla
undertones add subtle complexity without masking the fruit-forward
bouquet and flavours. An excellent choice for roasted chicken, gourmet
white pizza, firm medium flavoured cheeses and grilled fish steaks.

with fresh herbs and lemon. |
Red Wine
| South African Pinotage -
|
In 1925, Abraham Izak Perold developed a
grape variety by cross-pollinating Pinot Noir and Cinsaut(often called
Hermitage). Today called Pinotage, this early ripening varietal produces
a wine with a medium red to purple colour with aromas and flavours of
plum, cherry, cassis, spice and red and black berries. By allowing this
wine to age in the cellar for a short period of time it will develop
some intriguing earthy, almost barnyard characteristics. Serve with
medium to full flavoured foods such as meat pies, pork risotto,
barbecued ribs, venison, ratatouille, red meats with light curry
seasonings, rich bean soups, tuna, shark steaks, grilled burgers and
prime rib.
|

Big, dry and intense is the best way to
