List Crerar Hotels love their wine and when Paddy Crerar asked me to exclusively source for each list I was delighted. Over the years we have found many gems and one or two absolute stunners we believe that you will love. Our list is a comprehensive selection of varieties, flavours and styles from all over the world. Whether it be refreshing and crisp, or full bodied and complex, they are all delicious and represent excellent value for money. We have been blessed by the approach of the vineyards - who embraced the challenge - and blown away by the restaurant and bar teams at Crerar Hotels whose enthusiasm is fantastic.
