PYCM Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc
$109.99
Vines in the direction of Nolay, bought in 2014 – 2015 was the first vintage – from an 8 ha domaine shared with Sauzet – about 6km from domaine, vines on hillsides, over 400m with plenty of clay in this soil. Harvested about a week later than the vines around Chassagne – patience is always needed. – “It could go in the Bourgogne but I prefer to make two cuvées.”
Pretty, floral, instantly attractive. More drive and freshness. A hint of barrel but here is really an impressive width of finishing flavour, saline edged – this is excellent.’
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
Pierre-Yves Colin was born into the wine industry. His father, Marc Colin, who is a famed Burgundy producer himself, started Pierre’s winemaker career in 1994, when he asked him to work at the family’s domain. In 2005, he switched things up by creating his own wines from inherited vineyards. Since then, he has rapidly become of the top Burgundy producers using larger demi-muid barrels and eschewing the use of battonnage, makes each one of his bottlings a clear expression of its terroir and a study in mineral-driven Chardonnay. His wines get better and better with each vintage and so it's easy to say that he is not only one of the top domaines in Chassagne, this is one of the great winemakers and domaines in the world.
PYCM Saint-Aubin Village Le Banc
$151.99
A blend of multiple parcels, but all from this same village’s lieu-dit, with 3 generations of vines. In totality, this is the largest parcel of the domaine at over 1 hectare located at the end of the valley above the village of St Aubin.
’A shimmer of reduction – agrume style. More forward, mouth-puckering acidity is the first impression but the wine relaxes some over the palate – yellow citrus and a touch of oak today – the finish fading attractively…’

Ruinart "R" Brut Champagne
$121.99
This is showing impressive aromatic intensity with quite toasty, lemony and apple notes. Really taut, firm, dry and intense on the palate. This is a great oyster Champagne. Notably dry, grippy and mouth-watering. My pick for the classy New Years Eve celebration. Score - 94. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Dec. 4, 2019)

Pumphouse Crafty BO Peach Radler TallCan
$4.09
This radler has the juice of rich blood orange and juicy peach. Not quite so intense to cover up the beer, so a nice blend-like drink with a bit more alcohol than your average radler!
Glutenberg Gluten free Session IPA 4pk
$20.69
"Brewed with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic hops, the Session IPA is a refreshing and easy-to-drink beer for all occasions. From the top of its 4.5 % ABV, this beer as a beautifull hazy straw-colored dress with a suprising scent of citrus and very marked madarin. On the palate, we can distinguish notes of pineapple, lime and flowers, as well as a subtile bitterness on the finish."
