Chateau de Fuisse Pouilly Fuisse
$68.99
Château Fuissé dates back to 1604 and has been in the Vincent family for five generations. Each generation has added land, increased quality and enhanced the worldwide recognition of the château. Today under the direction of Antoine Vincent, Jean-Jacques Vincent’s son, Château Fuissé has reached the pinnacle of quality in the region with its wines rivaling the more famous appellations of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault to the north.
The most famous vineyards of Les Brûlés, Les Combettes, and Le Clos surrounding the château are bottled as specific cuvées to showcase their unique terroir. Presently, both Les Brûlés and Le Clos are in review by the INAO for premiers crus designation. Currently, Mâcon is the lone region in Burgundy lacking even one premier cru. But if one (or more) of the region’s vineyards wins approval, such a designation will be the first-ever premier cru in the Mâconnais.) Château Fuissé also produces quality-driven wines sourced mainly from family-owned properties in the Mâcon under the Vincent Signature label. Each of these wines is produced with the same care and expertise as the domaine bottlings.

$35.99

Wittmann has been highly awarded in the German wine press and now produces some of the most coveted wines produced in the country.
Clos Henri Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Now one of the most established winegrowers in Sancerre, and one of the most renowned family wineries in France, the Bourgeois Family is immensely respected for their commitment to terroir-driven expressions of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Their vineyard in Marlborough tells the journey of a family who have cultivated both an anchorage in Sancerre - in the village of Chavignol - and in Marlborough, New Zealand.
Synchromesh Riesling Gibson Block 3
$51.19
Synchromesh is a boutique, family run winery that focusses on exploring our unique and complex vineyard blocks through the lens of Riesling and Cabernet Franc. They farm over 30 acres of vines ranging from the North end of Naramata to the Golden Mile in Oliver with the bulk of our vineyards situated on 107 acres in Okanagan Falls. They practice a holistic philosophy in both farming and winemaking, meaning no synthetic inputs and following organic methods. Wines are fermented naturally to capture the expression of each property and vineyard block in it's purest form.
Cloudsley Chardonnay Twenty Mile Bench
$55.99
Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes, the wine was barrel fermented using wild yeast. It was matured for 18 months in French Oak (24% new) before bottling.
This Chardonnay was made with fruit sourced from the Wismer family's Foxcroft and Wingfield vineyards. These vineyards, situated near our winery, are perfectly suited for producing elegant, classic Chardonnay that demonstrates what makes this part of Niagara so special.
Cloudsley Cellars is dedicated to creating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Niagara, Ontario. The cool climate and limestone soils found in this region create an environment ideally suited to making a classic, elegant wine that brings out the best in these noble varietals. It’s a deeply personal project, unmotivated by consumer trends yet informed by over 20 years spent tasting world-class wines. It's inspired by a love of Burgundy, but squarely focused on this stretch of land that intrigues and beguiles wine lovers. Formed by passing glaciers, the soils of the Twenty Mile Bench tend to be made up of deep clay and till, with a large amount of limestone and shale. These soils tend to be moderately well-drained, with the rolling topography and the varying slopes of the escarpment aiding this. The varying elevation and slope, along with the circulating lake breeze, moderate temperatures, ensure gradual warming in spring and cooling in fall.
Pabiot Pouilly Fume Sauvignon Blanc
$44.99
Young Jonathan-Didier Pabiot successfully persuaded his father Didier to convert the family vineyards to organic viticulture. Today, Pabiot is one of three certified-organic domaines and the first Demeter certified (biodynamic) domaine in the appellation. The family’s 20 hectares of vibrant, lush and healthy vineyards span three primary soils – Kimmeridgian marl, chalky Portlandian, and clay-silex on flint – which serve as the bedrocks of our three primary bottlings: Elisa (formerly Prélude), Léon (formerly Florilège), and Prédilection, an impressive old vine cuvée grown on terre blanche terraces overlooking the Loire River. Slow, cool indigenous yeast fermentations, minimal SO2 doses, and ageing on the lees for 5-12 months result in expressive, transparent Puilly-Fumés that are turning heads in the Loire and beyond
Usseglio Rose
$29.99
Domaine Raymond Usseglio is a family domaine, created in 1948 by Françis Usseglio, who originally hailed from Italy.

Usseglio always performs manual harvesting with selective sorting, and all of their wines are certified biodynamic by Demeter. This rosé, with a dominant blend of cinsault (and 10% mourvedre) captivates with its freshness and aromatic profile of luscious fruit and lovely minerality. As an added bonus, they are certified biodynamic, which means it will protect you from werewolves when the moon is full.

Delamotte Blanc de Blanc
$143.99
Founded in 1760 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a grand cru village located in la Côte des Blancs, Champagne Delamotte works this enchanting terroir to grow chardonnay, the dominant white grape variety used to make Champagne. Well-reputed among sommeliers and wine enthusiasts, their champagnes are known for their consistency, delicacy and exceptional character. For over 260 years, we have been developing four different cuvées, a small range that gives amateurs and experts alike a clear understanding of the art of champagne. Our Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Blancs vintage, Brut and Rosé are quintessential Champagne wines. Their top luxury wine is Salon, very expensive and hard to find, but it's worth knowing that in the years when they don't make Salon (exceptional vintages only) those grapes get declassified into the Delamotte label at a fraction of the price.
