Toni Jost Bacharacher Trocken
$29.99
Toni Jost's grapes grow on steep slopes in the narrow valley of the Rhine. The northern location allows the grapes to ripen slowly. Unique Rieslings and Pinot Noirs grow here on slate soil. The manual work, minimally supported by special machines, is simply a reality on such steep vineyard sites and the wines express the work and care that goes into making them. The vineyards are located on both sides of the Rhine, in the Middle Rhine Valley and in the Rheingau. In Bacharach on the Middle Rhine, the family has been growing Rieslings here since 1831. Seven generations of the Jost family have laid the foundation for some of the best wines produced in the Mittlerhein and Rheingau.
Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
$22.99
Josip Babich, a pioneer of New Zealand wine making industry, was born in Croatia in Dalmatia (part of modern-day Croatia) in 1895 and planted his first vineyards in 1912. He has vineyard holding all over New Zealand. Quite an achievement for a young man who started out earning his living by digging and selling kauri gum. Drink this well priced Sauvignon young to best enjoy its richly sweet palate.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
$48.99
Cloudy Bay is a benchmark for this famed Kiwi white wine. 90 points from Wine Spectator for the 2013. The review: "Graceful and elegant, with spice, Meyer lemon and quince notes up front. This is silky smooth but shows tremendous power on the finish, where crisp, clean acidity and flavors of mineral, ruby grapefruit and stone fruit crescendo. Drink now."
Philippe Grange Gres St Paul Viognier
$22.99
The vineyards, situated in the Gros de Montpellier terroir that lie halfway up the slope between the Mediteranean and the mountains of the Languedoc, have been the property of the Serviere family since 1830. Well, history is nice but what about now? We can tell you that the Serviere familiy also makes delicious Viognier. This one has a lovely fragrant nose reminiscent of small honeyed flowers. Lush with a nice oily mouth-feel. Nice lift of banana and citrus.
Tantalus Riesling
$46.99
This Riesling shines like pale morning sunlight in the glass - so inviting, so "Tantalus-ing." A gem from the Okanagan that could give a traditional German Riesling a run for its money. Aromas of lime zest and guava accented by nuances of ripe melon and gala apple. Nicely balanced with flavors of citrus and a clean, zesty grapefruit undertone. A lingering finish and a gorgeous way to whet your appetite!
Raul Perez Muti Albarino
$58.99
This one won't last, even at this price! One of the most singular Albarinos being made today, by one of Spain's most talented and busy winemakers, Raul Perez. Fragrant mineral, sea salt, lemon meringue, honeysuckle, nutmeg, and petrol notes on this bracing, intense, beautifully proportioned Albarino. Lengthy and pure.
La Spinetta Vermentino
$33.99
Deliciously complex with aromas of pine and seagrass. This is a perfect example of what Vermentino should be: brimming with fruit and floral notes and the highlight of mineral elements on the finish. Medium-bodied taste of fresh peach and lime. The crisp acidity and long finish help show this wine's true Tuscan heritage. Pairings: poultry, fish (yum) and appetizers.
Black Hills Viognier
$34.99
The beautiful Black Hills Estate winery has been a favourite of Canadian wine lovers since it was established in 1996. Their well-priced Viognier is possibly their most well-known white wine, and is a showcase of what this white grape is capable of outside its home turf in Condrieu and Rhone, France.
Mordoree `Cuv De La Rein Des Bois` Lirac
$62.99
Aromas of white and yellow fruits, peach, pear, apricot, citrus, verbena, iris and Robinia. On the palate, expect a round, very long finish with a highly elegant fruity character. Pair with fish, some shellfish, Comté cheese; great as an aperitif.
