Terredora Fiano Campania
$36.99
This winery begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terradora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Piedirosso and Falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the South for its power and its ability to age for many years. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).
Fiano is a white grape from Southern Italy that everyone should get acquainted with. ITs a bright, elegant and floral wine, that shows notes of pear, Mediterranean citrus, acacia, toasted hazelnut and a lovely note of minerality. The Terredora Fiano is one of the best examples on our market, with added elegance to make this wine remarkable for the price! A KWM exclusive.
Bridgeland Taber Corn, Corn Mash Spirit
$59.99
The Bourbon style spirit is produced in Calgary at Bridgeland Distillery, and is bottled at 45% after maturing in Virgin Amerian Oak.
Producer Description
"Description: Taber Corn is second to none. Each summer, when word of Taber, Alberta’s first corn harvest breaks, connoisseurs converge on roadside stands to get it. It’s an easy progression why we would use Alberta’s famous Taber Corn from the Molnar Farm in our corn mash allowing you to not only eat your Taber Corn, but drink it too."
Lopez de Heredia Gravonia Blanco
$78.99
"The white that will be sold from October or November 2019, the 2011 Viña Gravonia Blanco comes from a warmer year with very low yields, and the wine is already showing some tertiary notes, with very subtle diesel-like hints. The palate is bone dry with some nutty undertones and a salty/bitter finish. These are whites for food. 18,667 bottles were filled in November 2016, at the same time as the 2010, which means this had a shorter élevage (probably the sign of a slightly weaker year)." - 94 points, Robert Parker

Perrin Miraval Provence Rose
$36.99
This rose is a perfect way to celebrate summer. Beautiful light pale pink colour. On the nose a fantastic bouquet with delicate aromas of white fruits, just-picked strawberries and delicate floral notes. The mouth is complex with tangs of raspberry and wild strawberry complementing a smattering of wild herb, citrus, and wet-stone flavours. It has a refreshing acidity (thanks to the altitude) and a rounded, long and vibrant finish. And. it's the wine of Angelina Jolie!
Sybille Kuntz Riesling Dry
$38.99
If you're a fan of dry Riesling, this is the wine for you! It's a serious mineral dry white wine with a punch! Brilliant white-yellow colour with straw-yellow hues. Ripe stone fruit, lychee, flint, orange peel and a touch of mint in the nose. Super juicy start with fresh ripe acids and minerals upfront; elegant texture with a lot of content but at the same time refined; long, fruity aftertaste with citrus and ripe white fruit. Top wine as an aperitif, with white meat and crustaceans, and especially with white mould cheeses and orientally seasoned green vegetable salad.
Sipsmith Gin 375ml
$30.99
For years we tried to get this gin in the market to no avail, and then one day it just showed up. Seems a big multinational bought it, so the good news is it's here, and at a more reasonable price than originally suspected.
From the Producer
Sipsmith: the first copper pot distillery in London for nearly two hundred years! Sipsmith London Dry Gin was born out of a desire to see gin production return to the city where it earned its name. With a nod to traditional hand crafted production, their gin combines traditional copper pot distillation with a recipe that wouldn't look unfamiliar to an eighteenth century Master Distiller. London Dry Gin is the quintessential expression of a classic London Dry Gin. Bold, complex and aromatic - smooth enough for a Martini, yet rich and balanced, perfect for a G&T.
Copper Stilled in Small Batches: Every drop of alcohol that goes into a bottle of Sipsmith has been distilled in copper. Copper draws out the impurities and cleanses the spirit. It’s what makes Sipsmith spirits so incredibly smooth.
One Shot Method: One of the only gins in the world to use the “One-Shot Method”, meaning we use exactly the right amount of botanicals in our distillation so that we only need to add water to bring it down to bottling strength. 99% of gins are made using a concentrate which is diluted with neutral grain spirit and water. This neutral alcohol has had no contact with copper nor the botanicals so it produces a harsher, less balanced gin.
Hand Cut: We only ever retain a tight heart cut (the highest quality) of the liquid which is cut by hand. Much like a fine single malt, it’s what delivers our uncompromising quality of spirit.
Uncommon Tropical Cider Tall Can
$6.09
Remember: Dry hopping is the process of adding hops near the end of the brewing process. This results in very little bitterness, but showcases the more aromatic qualities of hops. This cider has a nice, round fruity base, and has wonderful tropical fruit and melon notes along with hints of herbs and maybe even grass.
6.8% ABV
Producer Description
"Refreshing aroma of ripe kiwi with flavours of pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, and a beautiful coconut water mouthfeel."
Establishment Left My Wallet 4pk
$21.49
"Tart like a Gose, this Lichtenhainer brings a fire all its own in the form of smoke. Unlike Bamberg’s smoky Rauchbier, the smoke on this other historical German style is from oak, not beechwood. This subtle difference puts this palette-pleaser more in the realm of grilled pineapple and less that of hot ham. Much more appropriate for summer sipping."
Old Forester 1920 Bourbon 57.5%
$93.99
This Bourbon was featured on Day 12 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can check out Evan's blog post on the Old Forester 1920 here.
Part of Old Forester Distillery's Whisky Row Series, the 1920 Prohibition Style is meant to hearken back to the bad old days of American Prohibition. Bottled at 115 proof or 57.5% ABV - this might just cure what ails ya!
From The Producer
"The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.
During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago."
