Dagueneau Pouilly Fume
$34.99
"The Dagueneau domaine is situated in the commune of Les Berthiers, combining complex soils of chalky limestone (containing millions of tiny oyster shells) and flints. It has been in the capable hands of Serge`s daughter, Valérie for many years, where she excels in producing elegant wines of true character. This 2017 has a pale lemon-green colour, the nose being complex and finely woven, with notes of delicately smoky elderflower and citrus fruits. The palate is full bodied and beautifully concentrated. With intense, flinty-grapefruit flavours and a luscious, silky texture, the finish is vivacious and lip-licking."
Dagueneau Centenaire
$29.99
"Our only Chasselas parcel is a century old. It is hand harvested and always produces superb, firm skinned and sweet golden grapes. They produce a typical soft and fruity wine, characterized by hazelnut and honey flavours. It should be enjoyed young, between 1 and 3 years. Served at 10-12°C, it is an ideal companion for shellfish, fish, cheese and cold meats as well as a charming aperitif. "
Cadenhead Old Raj Gin 55%
$59.99
Could this be the most amazing gin to hit the Canadian market? We think so! Wine Enthusiast magazine gave it 96 points. It's also exclusive to Kensington Wine Market! Like other premium gins from the UK, Cadenhead is made from a mixture of gin essence (juniper, coriander and angelica) and Scottish grain spirit. What sets it apart from others is twofold: first, saffron, a very rare and costly spice is added to give the gin a spicy flavour; second, the gin is bottled at 55% rather than being watered down to 40%. Old Raj is a premium gin, tailored to the finest tastes!

Dumangin Cuvee 17 3 Litre
$349.99
A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650's, the Dumangin's have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This Cuvee 17 is (almost) an equal blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and is one of their newest additions to their line. Cuvee 17 is a natural style champagne, but this is serious wine! With 33% of the bottle consisting of reserve wine, it creates a fierce complexity and opulent notes of elderflower, banana, lemon cream and hints of brioche. Perfect as an aperitif, with appetizers or with fresh seafood.
Daftmill 2009 Summer Batch Release 2020
$199.99
So this is exciting... we're the first store in Canada to get whiskies from Daftmill. The 2009 Summer Batch Release was bottled in 2020 after 11 years at 46%. The "Asia Release" is limited to just 1790 bottles with a tiny fraction of that coming to Canada. Matured in ex-Bourbon and First Fill Ex-Sherry.
Producer Bottling Notes
"Daftmill is a farm distillery. Owned and operated by the Cuthbert family, it only runs in the farm’s quiet periods; mid-summer and winter, sometimes producing as few as 100 casks per year. When not distilling, Francis Cuthbert looks after the estate, growing the malting barley used to make this Lowland whisky. The barley variety Optic was grown in the South fields and harvested in the last week of August 2006. It was then stored on the farm to be malted in Alloa during the summer of 2007. This first fill ex oloroso butt and four ex bourbon barrels that make up this bottling were distilled and filled in June and July 2009. This is our first release to contain whisky matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. Cask 016/2009, 020/2009, 022/2009, 023/2009 & 027/2009."

Edradour 12 Year Caledonia
$109.99
Caledonia, in addition to be an archaic name for Scotland, is also the name of a popular folk song published by Dougie MacLean in 1979. Originally selected as a single cask by Dougie MacLean to celebrate Homecoming Scotland in 2009, the whisky has been adopted as a permanent addition to the Edraour line. The whisky has been matured at least four years in Oloroso sherry and is very chewy and fruity.
Rockford Riesling
$46.99
Rockfords are hard to find in Canada. Most are sold right from the Cellar Door in Australia! Only Rocky O'Callaghan could make a wine like this. Sourced from two high and remote old vineyards in the Eden Valley, the grapes are picked late. The nose shows lime and citrus characters with a slight smoky edge. It's tightly structured with a good depth of flavor that leads to a fresh and clean finish.
