On the Rocks

Oil and Vinegar

With a beautiful wood grain finish, these handmade olive wood cheeseboards are both sustainable and rustic. No two boards are alike. But be sure to clean with vinegar because water can damage. To maintain the board, rub with olive oil. Available at various Chapters and Indigo stores across Ontario.

The Perfect Pour

Sometimes while entertaining, guests crave various wines. Now, you can decant by the glass. This aerating pourer simply attaches to the bottle so that you can aerate each glass one at a time. The double aeration allows the wine to be aerated while it is inside the bottle, as well as during pouring. Available at Susan’s Just Because, 280 Main St. Picton, Ontario. Also available at various wineries across Ontario.
