Durigutti Compuertas Victoria
$79.99
Hector and Pablo Durigutti were born in Mendoza, the cradle of Argentinian wine and were raised together. Their childhood and their home were always connected to a sensorial world, with aromas, ingredients and flavours that, over time, motivated them to choose the path to become enologists. As adults, they would find these familiar memories and similar passions. In 2002 they dedicated their efforts to the creation of a small family winey. Today the brothers have evolved to form a new generation of winemakers, leading an evolutionary change in Argentina’s viticulture. Their range includes the value-driven Abeja wines and the upper-tier Las Compuertas offerings produced from the oldest vineyard sites.
This blend is created from the best varieties of the old vineyards at Finca Victoria. The result is the purest expression of the Las Compuertas terroir. It is a celebration of life, paying homage to Héctor and Pablo Durigutti’s mother, Victoria. A delicious blend of 40% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Franc, 27% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cordisco. The vines date from 1914 and after a double grape selection, they are fermented and aged in second use 600 Litre French Oak Barrels for 12 months and then cement eggs for another 26 months.
Aguijon de Abeja Fusion Blancas Reina
$18.19
That name is a mouthful, but trust us - it is worth remembering! The Fusion is an Argentine blend of Chardonnay, Torrontes and Semillon.
Hector and Pablo Durigutti are the winemakers behind the Aguijón de Abeja wines. Hector started at Alto Las Hormigas at the age of 15 and has completed 25 projects at various well-known wineries, learning old-world techniques and agriculture. Pablo started at La Rural, a winery now owned by Catena, and the Durigutti brothers source their fruit for the Aguijon wines from vineyards located in three different regions, striving for the optimal conditions for each variety (all vineyards are organically farmed).

$17.99
A big and juicy NEPA with fruity-as-hell hops and a silky, malty body.
One of Calgary's best!
Peter Lauer Ayler No 25
$56.99
A classic, vibrant and exquiste Riseling from Peter Lauer. Comapred to his neighbours (Egon muller and the likes), Lauer focuses more on those dry and off-dry styles, permitting a style of riesling that is bright, electric and mineral driven. This wine is no different, and I would highly recommend. It is complex, elegant and explosive. Perfect to pair with dishes that are just as expressive.
Illahe Bon Sauvage Pinot Noir
$82.99
Illahe is a highly regarded Oregon Pinot Noir producer who follows biodynamic practices. The wines are pure and elegant with underlying power.

Hitachino Nesty Yuzu Lager
$5.49
Ligfht to medium bosy with a generous helping of bready malts. Hints of spice lay at the foundation, but the exotic citrus is what really grabs the attention. The balance of mellow malty sweetness, and zingy citrus makes this a great food beer.
