Moss Wood Semillon 2023
$42.99
Semillon is a quirky white grape that is primarily known for use in Bordeaux white wine, where it is blended with Sauvignon Blanc. This bottle from Moss Wood and other 100% Semillon wines drink quite nicely when young, but also quietly have tremendous aging potential. Whether you buy a bottle to drink now, or pick up a few to cellar, you will be happy with your purchase.
More than 45 years ago, back in 1977 was the first year that Moss Wood produced a Semillon for commercial use. It was made with no barrel treatment and upon the first year of production was a major head turner. To this day, Moss Wood sticks to only stainless still fermentation for their Semillon.
Burrowing Owl Meritage
$72.99
One of Canada's finest wines! The Burrowing Owl winery and vineyard lie within one of Canada's most unique ecosystems, near the north end of Osoyoos Lake, and is one of the most highly rated grape-growing locations in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, and for that matter Canada. Here is the winemaking team's tasting note: "Vibrant and complex nose with everything from ripe raspberry, cassis, blackberry and prune plum through to dried sage brush, orange zest, clove, black olive, marzipan, dusty vanillin oak and malt. The palate is dry, rich and full bodied with crisp acidity and firm, medium-plus ripe tannins. The structure for aging is framed by plenty of dark chocolate, cocoa, cassis, black plum, black cherry, spiced berry compote, citrus peel and a touch of fig, raisin and leather. Drinking well now, it also shows the concentration to open up and evolve over a decade. Pair with rosemary and garlic studded leg of lamb or lamb tagine".
Hendrick's Gin
$55.99
Hendrick's is a small-batch, handcrafted gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. No other gin tastes quite like it because no other gin is made like it. Hints of coriander, juniper, citrus peel, rose petal and an infusion of cucumber make for a delectably complex drink. The taste is clean and refreshing, yet unusually rich. When making the traditional gin and tonic, add a slice of cucumber! Your next cocktail will rock.
Torlesse Sauvignon Blanc
$24.99
Torlesse takes its name from an early Canterbury resident, surveyor and farmer, Englishman Charles Torlesse. He gave his name to the Torlesse mountain range, which part circles the Canterbury Plains and was at one time the largest land owner and farmer in North Canterbury, and founder of the nearby town of Rangiora. Interestingly, the name Torlesse is given to the underlying bedrock from which most New Zealand soils are derived.
Shaw and Smith Chardonnay
$67.99
The Adelaide Hills produces some of Australia's finest Chardonnay. M3 Vineyard was planted in 1995 and takes its name from owners Martin Shaw, Michael and Matthew Hill Smith. The grapes are hand picked and whole fruit pressed prior to undergoing barrel fermentation and maturation in French oak. But this is not an oaky Aussie. Sophisticated with pure fruit character, it's elegant. Wonderful with lobster.
d`Arenberg Dry Dam Riesling
$25.99
Four generations of the Osborn Family have made wine at the d'Arenberg vineyards in the hills just north of the township of McLaren Vale. The original d'Arenberg Riesling vineyard was next to a dam, or reservoir, which in the driest summers would completely dry up. Winemaker d'Arry Osbourn soon learned that a dry summer meant a very concentrated Riesling with lots of flavours and intensity.
Inniskillin Vidal Icewine 375ml
$74.99
Originally developed in the cool wine regions of Germany in the mid-1700s, Icewine is ideally suited to the Niagara peninsula climatic conditions. Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months. The resulting freezing and thawing dehydrates the fruit, and concentrates the sugars, acids, and extracts in the berries, thereby intensifying the flavors and adding complexity. Uniquely Canadian!
Poli Sarpa Grappa
$64.99
Producer Description
"This Grappa was conceived in 1983, but it took a few years to see the light of day.
The goal was clear in my mind: a Grappa to encase the aromas of Tradition, but without the typical flaws of old fashion Grappas, often stingy, aggressive and oily.
It had to be an authentic Grappa, sincere and genuine, what I would now call a classic Grappa.
Moreover, it was meant to be a bridge between the Grappa of the past and the Grappa of the future, representing the present of Grappa with its best typical features."
Chateau Montifaud VS Cognac
$65.99
An incredible cognac at such a great price! The Montifaud VS is a single estate cognac made from a blend of 4 to 6 year old cognacs, and unlike most other brands has no added caramel. Montifaud is family-owned, by descendents of Augustin Vallet, who started it all in 1837. One for chilly nights with dear friends and family by the fire!
