Terravista Vineyards Fandango
$37.99
Grunhaus Herrenberg Kabinett
$45.99
We have been lucky enough to get some wines from the legendary Maximin Grünhaus Estate in the Ruwer district of the Mosel.
The estate dates back to at least the year 966ad and is, by all measures, the oldest wine estate in Germany, pre-dating Schloss Johannisberg by about 200 years. For the last five generations, it has been run by the Von Schubert family. The current head of the family, Carl Von Schubert is handing the reins to his son as of this year. The vineyard is incredibly special. There are three distinct sections, all of which are on the same hillside by each other. They are, Herrenberg, Abtsberg, and Bruderberg.
Maximin Grünhaus was a monastery, so the vineyards are named for the purpose their wine served:
Herrenberg was used for the choirmasters and is spread across 40 acres of weathered red slate. Even though the Abtsberg is theoretically more prestigious, Herrenberg’s wines are no less compelling. There is a style difference too owing to the red vs blue slate - Herrenberg is more opulent and fruity than Abtsberg, which is more slender and taut.
"Very elegant with lots of wildflower and herb aromas. Sleek and delicate but also soundly built with a lot of structure and a long almost dry finish. Drink now or give it a few years, many years, and the rest of your life." James Suckling - 92 points

"Spiced citrus and peach. A minerally spice. Creamy but beautifully fresh and better integrated than the Herrenberg, for the moment at least. Lovely balance and length." Julia Harding MW

"Complex fumy herbal aroma. Spicy ripe lemon veering to orange and apricot. Intense. On the palate, sweet and yet lemon-crisp on the finish. Cool, clear and poised." Julia Harding MW
The Hatch B. Yanco
$15.99
"The B. Yanco is mostly pinot blanc (85 percent) from West Kelowna with a splash of viognier (15 percent) from Osoyoos-based Monarch Vineyard. The style is off-dry and floral, with ripe yellow apple and a squeeze of lime pith. Not as refreshing as we would like, but would be well-suited to more substantial spicy fall dinners. For summer drinking, try it with some avocado toast drizzled with freshly squeezed lemon juice." - 86 points Anthony Gismondi
Lightfoot & Wolfville Chardonnay
$66.99
A radiant golden-yellow hue glows in the glass. Fresh aromas of Meyer lemon and yellow pear are deepened by white truffle and hazelnut undertones. The palate is gracefully balanced between texture and acidity, and the finish between lushness and invigorating citrus-pith zest. A wine that pairs naturally with roasted poultry, fish, warm vegetable dishes and cream sauce.

"Hint of mushroom here and spicy grapefruit freshness. Creamy and generous on the palate even with the purity of perfectly balanced acidity and residual sugar." Julia Harding MW
