Handmade Pottery // Pretty shades of lavender will put your winter table into a springtime mood. The Pinch Pot (which comes with a rosewood spreading knife) is perfect for a pinch of many things – jams, dips, salsa, spreads and sauces. The clever Pistachio dish lets you fill up one side with nuts and the other with shells. The platter is a workhorse that will see you through many serving challenges. // 313 Main St. E., Kingsville | 519.800.8293 | sissyandroche.com

COLIO ESTATE WINES

Prism Ice Wine // From the award-winning Harrow winery, this ice wine is the essence of late summer, distilled in a glass. Only when temperatures reach –8 C is the winemaker able to produce this wine, which exhibits layers of apricot, raisins, pear and honey. It’s a perfect accompaniment to tangy cheeses or as a dessert by itself. // 1 Colio Dr., Harrow | 519.738.2241 | coliowinery.com
