Leitz Sparkling Riesling Non-Alc. Can

Cincoro Anejo Tequila
$189.99
Produced from 100% Webber Blue Agave, this Anejo tequila has been matured underground for 24-28 months, considerably longer than most Anejos. Cincoro is a tequila brand founded by 5 NBA owners including Michael Jordan. 40%.
Producer Description
"Cincoro Anejo gains its remarkable aromas and taste from a very unique aging regimen. Our barrels are imported from Kentucky, and were first used to age Bourbon. By aging Cincoro Blanco in these barrels, we highlight the smoothness of our Blanco, complimented by wood notes from aging 24-28 months in an underground cellar, considerably longer than the minimum 1 year required for Anejo. Subtle notes of toasted oak and maple on the nose, followed by sweet cooked agave, light butterscotch and baking spices on the palate. Remarkably long, elegant finish with lingering notes of dark chocolate."
Meyer Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
$32.99
From one of the most respected Pinot producers in the Okanagan Valley! The gentle, minimal intervention style at Meyer filters all the way down to the introductory Pinot simply labelled ‘Meyer’. It bears an Okanagan Valley designation and blends fruit from the home property Mclean Creek Road Vineyard in Okanagan Falls, Reimer Vineyard in South East Kelowna and two East Kelowna sites. This delightful Pinot Noir was aged in older oak barrels which softened the wine without adding much oak flavour. It has aromas and flavours of cherry and strawberry. The juicy texture adds to the wine’s immediate appeal. (This is the 2015, but Decanter gave the 2012 an impressive 91 points. You get the picture: The Meyer family knows what they're doing!)

Osoyoos Larose Grand Vin Magnum
$194.99
88 points from Gismondionwine.com for the 2010 vintage - and this is an impressive magnum format! The review: ""Le Grand Vin", Osoyoos Larose has had a lot to live up to over the years since it burst onto the BC scene with great fanfare in 2001. A partnership between Constellation Brands and Bordeaux's Groupe Taillan, owner of Chateau Giraud Larose, this wine has increasingly grown into its big shoes over the past decade. Concentrated and compact, this is a hard fisted wine for future consumption. Gravels, broken stone, dried earth and faint black cherry aromas open. Bitter cherry, thorns, iron, bitter black plum dominate." Buy a bottle and cellar it for a year or two, or decant and drink now with slow-roasted lamb, roast beef or steak.
