Montes Carmenere Purple Angel
$134.99
"Elegant on the nose, with aromas of ripe red and black berries over a background of sweet notes. Being stored in French oak barrels adds aromas of dark chocolate, coffee which go with the typical fruity aromas of this variety. Well structured on the palate, with smooth and full tannins." 95 pts-Descorchados
One of Chile's top wines, and certainly one of the best examples of Carmenere on the market. (Some might even say it IS the best.) Carmenere is an amazing grape that absolutely thrives in Chile. Originally from France but almost forgotten on its home turf, Carmenere has been reinvented in Chile. This big boastful red starts out with aromas of sage, blueberry, and blackberry and toasty oak. According to Robert Parker, it borders on opulent. A full-throttle red, layered with succulent flavours, and a long, pure finish. A Purple Angel indeed!
Compass Box Peat Monster 750mL
$104.99
For those who love big, rich, peaty and smoky malt whiskies, this is your whiskey. Bottled at 46%, The Peat Monster combines extremely smoky malt whisky from Islay with medium-peated Highland whiskies to create a balanced and approachable monster, but a monster, nonetheless. Enjoy!
The Peat Monster was featured in Day 3 of our 2018 KWM Whisky Advent Calendar.
Producer Description
"For 2019, The Peat Monster has a new label. Featuring this quite marvellous specially-commissioned painting, all batches released going forward will showcase the new artwork. It isn’t just the packaging that is different, however: the recipe has evolved, too.
Still very much the whisky for those who love big, rich, smoky-peaty malts, our latest version of THE PEAT MONSTER is older and more elegant than before.
"Inspired by feedback from smoky whisky lovers, our new Painting Label of THE PEAT MONSTER incorporates single malts with a more aromatic and graceful style of smokiness. We have sought to retain the peaty intensity for which THE PEAT MONSTER has long been celebrated, whilst creating a depth and elegance not seen before."
Canella Prosecco
$32.99
Prosecco is a variety of white grape grown in the Veneto region of Italy, and also gives its name to the sparkling wine made from the grape. Prosecco makes a delicious aperitif. Smooth aromas of fragrant, fresh flowers, lemon and lime. The dry, citrusy palate and soft mouth feel work perfectly together, while the finish is long, fruity and very pleasant.
Herradura Seleccion Suprema Agave
$409.99
Incredibly complex yet impossibly smooth. Aged for an incredible 49 months in American White Oak barrels, Herradura Selección Suprema is our most premium ultra-rested tequila. Extra aging creates a tequila of an extremely rich, dark amber color with cooked agave, spice and floral notes. Exceptionally smooth and complex, Selección Surprema has a lasting, subtly-sweet aftertaste.
"Tequila Herradura (officially Grupo Industrial Herradura) is a tequila distiller located in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. It was formally founded in 1870 by Félix López and the business remained in the family for over 125 years. Today it is owned by US beverage maker Brown-Forman, but the tequila is still made in the same place and facilities under a Mexican subsidiary. Tequila products sold under the Herradura name are still 100% agave, made in the same traditional ways as those of the last century. The company makes other tequila products such as El Jimador," according to Wikipedia.
Carlisle Rossi Ranch Grenache
$72.99
From owner/winemaker Mike Officer: Booyah! We’ve produced some mighty tasty Grenaches in the past (2018, 2016, and 2013 come to mind) but for my palate, none holds a candle to this lip-smackin’ bad boy! It actually transports me back to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, reminding me of some of my favorite 100% (or nearly so) Grenache cuvées grown in safres. Picked October 18th, 20% of the fruit was not destemmed to add a bit of peppery spice to the nose and palate. After an indigenous fermentation and nearly a month on the skins, the wine was pressed to all neutral French oak. It remained unracked and on its lees until bottling. Unfined and unfiltered.
The Rossi Vineyard was originally planted in 1910 by the Rossi family which it takes its name from. The Vineyard lies in the Sonoma Valley and is planted with Zinfandel, Grenache, and other varietals.
Alberta Premium Whisky
$27.99
The flagship Whisky from Alberta Distillers, which itself was founded in 1946. Alberta Premium has been a ubiquitous bottle in this province and others since it was first launched back in 1958. Made right here in Calgary, Alberta, this 100% Rye is priced like a bar rail whisky but is also quite a good whisky. It is a good introduction to what Alberta Distillers is capable of. 40%.
Corkscrew Picnic
$1.99
Perfect little travel corkscrew! Fits almost anywhere.
A picnic corkscrew has a worm with a short shaft with a ring in the top. The worm is protected by a sheath which is inserted in the ring in the top to form the handle. It is a very convenient stowaway corkscrew for the picnic basket.
Rockford Semillon
$56.99
Robert O'Callaghan is a winemaking pioneer in Australia's Barossa Valley. His wines are so popular, most sell out at the winery before they have a chance to make it overseas. This wine faithfully reflects the contribution made by the Sibley and Kalleske families. Their skill and devotion to their soil helps give the Barossa its strength, stability and soul. Local Growers Semillon has the ability to age and is perfect slightly chilled with grilled seafood, fresh garden salads or with a roast Barossa chicken. A wine that invites itself to lunch.
Argiano Solengo
$139.99
96 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate! The review: "The 2010 Solengo shows the pedigree of this great vintage. Violets, tar, smoke, licorice and plums burst from the glass. Vibrantly nuanced and beautifully articulated, the 2010 impresses for its striking balance and refined, sophisticated personality. This is one of the very best Solengos I can remember tasting. The style is rich and highly expressive, but with no excess weight. In 2010, Solengo is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 20% Merlot and 10% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030."
