Alta Mora Etna Rosso
$49.99
The project: The largest volcano in Europe – a symbol of nature’s ardour and an ancient and tenacious viniculture – is the place that brothers Diego and Alberto Cusumano have chosen together with their father, Francesco, for their new and impassioned challenge: to create wines that express the quality and character of a unique land. After years of searching, a unique opportunity appeared in 2013 to acquire the first three contrade on the northern slopes of Etna. A continually evolving project that began with the reconstruction of the traditional dry stone walls of the terraces of Guardiola – the contrada (district) whose stunning beauty nurtures the underlying motivation and inspiration and whose name is given to the entire project: Alta Mora.
Adami Prosecco
$34.99
Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, where Adami is situated, comprises just 15 individual communes lying amidst hills of stunning beauty. Their gently-rolling slopes, descending from a series of ridges, or hogbacks, nourish a culture so distinctive that UNESCO named them as a World Heritage Site.
This ancient geological complex derives from seabeds uplifted when the African tectonic plate subducted under the European plate. Later, the Piave glacier and its lateral branches re-shaped a section of the hills and deposited sediments, which can be seen today as conglomerates of rock, clay, and iron ore. Where the glaciers did not intervene, seabed predominates, with dry, shallow soils of marl and sandstones.

Cabin Luminosity Pilsner 4 pack
$15.74
Brewer's notes:
"
Luminosity German Pils is the antidote to the year that was. It’s a delicious, easy-drinking lager crafted in the German brewing tradition - one defined by balance, quality ingredients and drinkability.
We let the ingredients tell the story: 100% German Best Pils malt, a Weihenstephan yeast strain with light aromas and clean flavours and a duo of noble European hops (Hallertauer Mittelfruh and Czech Saaz)
It’s crisp, dry and has long-lasting bready malt notes. You’ll notice delightful spicy and floral aromas and a low to medium bitterness that slowly builds as you drink. Hold it to the light and you’ll see the most glorious, gentle golden hue. You’ll want the luminous light to wash over you like a baptism of hope, but don’t linger too long – after all, this is a beer made for drinking."
Establishment Gold Past Life 4pk
$19.49
Producer's notes:
This beer style is the traditional light beer associated with Bohemia, which is why it’s sometimes also called a Bohemian Pilsner. In contrast to German-style pilsners, Lil’ Bo Pils like this one is a deeper shade of gold. Their darker hue hints at their fuller body and subtly superior malt richness. They’re brewed with water that’s preciously low in minerals making for a softness you can feel and a bitterness you taste less of.
Sybille Kuntz Riedlin Rose
$41.99
Riedlin Rose is a uniquely brilliant Rose that has wonderful fresh red berry flavours along with a depth of flavour and texture which is quite unique for a rose wine. The juice is bled off after crushing (Saignee) and is the same quality of grape used for the red wine. The wine also spends up to six months on its lees which helps it develop into something special.
Acala N/A Sparkling Red Tea
$27.99
Deep, luscious flavors of blueberry and blackcurrant forming the foundation of this profile. Enhanced by floral and oak aromas, it boasts a complexity that unfolds with each sip. Making it a must-try for Burgundy lovers.
La Torre Brunello 2020
$86.99
The price of wine seems to be getting higher and higher with every passing day, especially in famous regions such as Burgundy and Napa. Brunello is of course no exception to this, with most bottles nowadays going for at least $100. This bottle from La Torre represents great value for money. It offers aromas of black tea, black cherries, and savoury herbs on the nose. On the palate, ripe red fruits and baking spice hit the front of the palate, with a finish of cranberry and violet tapering off. Fine tannins and a crisp acidity keep the palate wanting more.
Would benefit from a couple-hour decant.
Pairs perfectly with turkey or roast beef and will be able to hold up to almost any side you throw at it!
Dagueneau Rose Cote Charite
$34.99
This rose is made from 100% Pinot Noir picked from a .25 hectare plot in the Loire region of France. It is hand-harvested, then vinified and matured in steel tanks before bottling. It is an ample, fruity wine with a scintillating colour and delicious aromas reminiscent of crushed strawberries. A wine that wears the colours of summer!
The history of the domaine dates to the late Léontine Dagueneau. In the 1920s, as a widower, she bought two hectares of vines in the Loire River valley where she also grew vegetables and tended to her livestock, which consisted mainly of cattle and goats. She also made cheese alongside her wine, both of which were sought after for their quality and finesse. From here the torch has been handed down through four generations of winemakers, each of whom added their own mark on the winery and Dagueneau name.
Today, the name “Serge Dagueneau & Filles” is most often associated with the region of Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire region of France. This region is known for its high acid, dry, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blancs, but the rosé is a lovely summer tipple, all crushed wild strawberries with some grapefruit zest.
