From Yukon Spirits
"Our Artisan Gin is distilled in the Yukon and features a signature blend of botanicals. Over several years, we have refined the recipe which has resulted in an exceptionally smooth gin with a bold flavour profile. Juniper envelopes the palate with bright high-lights of citrus derived from lemon and orange zest. A subtle earthy spice on the finish establishes a well-balanced gin that is perfectly suited for a crisp winter evening or a beautiful summer day under the midnight sun."
Klinker Brick Brickmason Blend
$27.99
This wine is built around 80% Zinfandel with 10% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petite Sirah in support. It's big, concentrated, complex and spicy, with ripe dark fruit, white pepper and vanilla underpinned by solid tannins. Best now through 2027, it will 'click' with duck confit.
Aubuisieres Cuvee Armelle
$34.99
Formerly known as Domaine Bernard Fouquet, until Bernard retired in 2021, handing the reins to Charles Lesaffre. Charles is the grandson of Gérald Bruley des Varannes, the man from whom Bernard's father André acquired his first vineyards, thereby bringing the story of the Domaine full circle. An avid practitioner of viticulture and oenology, Charles joined Bernard as an associate in 2019. Two years into his tenure, Charles has emphasized organic and biodynamic practices. Charles has continued, as Bernard before him, to capture the unique Vouvray mineral tones, along with the wonderfully balanced expression of fruit of the Chenin Blanc grape, in his wines.
A fantastic moelleux (the term for sweet chenin blanc from the Loire Valley), this dessert wine is vibrant, with notes of baked apple, honey and a touch of almond. Perfect to pair with pate, foie gras, cheese or fruit pies. It's sweet but far from cloying, and organic.

True Colours Cava
$24.99
True Colours is a Cava which was originally created to support LGBTQ+ programs in Scandinavia. It is imported into Alberta by Redback Wine Imports, who has committed to donating $10 from every case sold to two great local programs: Calgary Pride and HIV Community Link.
Like most Cava, this sparkling wine is produced in Penedes, within the Catalonia region of Spain.
From Redback Wine Imports
True Colours was initially created for the Swedish market by Altia Sweden, in conjunction with the Cava producer Sumarrocca. It's a high-quality sparkling wine made in the metodo tradicional style (much like Champagne) from Xarello, Parellada and Macabeo, along with a small amount of Chardonnay. The palate shows a core of stone fruits, citrus and minerals with a toasty brioche finish.
"True Colours in Alberta is a partnership between Redback Wine Imports and Calgary Pride/HIV Community Link. We donate $10/case (750mL) and $5/case (200mL) to support the programs of these worthy organizations.
