A visit to Steve’s Fine Wine & Food would not be complete without checking out our tasting area within the wine store.  Thirty two wines (16 White and 16 Red) are available for tasting in small and medium servings, through a self-serve dispensing system called Enomatic.

Taste, colour, body and aroma are the characteristics that make every wine unique. However, a few minutes after opening a bottle, oxygen begins to degrade the structure of wine, changing the taste, aroma and colour of the wine; this is know as oxidation.

Imported from Italy these machines use a patented system to fill the bottle with Argon gas when placed into the dispenser; Argon is an inert gas and as such is tasteless, odourless and colourless.   Eliminating air and therefore oxygen from the bottle prevents oxidation; this enables us to provide premium quality wines for tasting, and by the glass, as they stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.
