We wanted a wine with a massive personality, and maximum impact. Can’t go wrong then choosing a California Cabernet Sauvignon with a name inspired by “Ziggy Stardust” and “Stairway to Heaven”. Selected from the Post Hotel’s renowned wine cellar, this bottle of 2013 Stardust Heaven was a great way to toast the last evening of […]
We enjoyed the 2014 Sea Smoke Chardonnay, an elegant California wine, on a recent stay at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise, Alberta. While most of our evenings were spent in the comfortable, elegant main restaurant, on this particular night we booked dinner for two at the Fondue Stubli, a cozy nook just off the […]

Believe it or not, it was our first time there in the winter. While not technically the Christmas holidays at least according to the school calendar – more mid-month – the spirit of […]
A Christmas-time getaway in the majestic, snow-capped Canadian Rockies at Lake Louise is a particularly romantic way to celebrate the season. The landscape provides all the ‘decoration’ you need to set the mood, which is at once cozy, elegant, and awe-inspiring.
