With nearly two seasons under its belt, the glass is half-full for Grape Escapes wine tours.

Locked away in Onyx’s cellar is the most expensive bottle you’ll find on a Halifax wine list. What makes it worthy of such a price?
The wine list at Onyx is extensive, to say the least, with 320 bottles of red, white and sparkling wine ranging from $29 to thousands. Appropriately, they label their wines by occasion–"everyday," "celebratory," "special occasion" and "you only live once"–to organize, and perhaps to legitimize, the small fortune one might pay for a wine in the latter category.

In a city where hamburgers tend to be piled high with sauces and toppings, Westcliff’s simple pleasure still stands out as a winner.
Beverly Griswold lays out a simple paper placemat in front of my friend Mark and one in front of me, as Mark fills out the little swatch of paper with the details of our burgers---the famous burgers at the Westcliff Grocery & Lunch.
