Purple Hands Freedom Hill Pinot Noir
$106.99
Founded in 2005, Purple Hands works passionately to offer an experience of humble luxury—drawn from the details of a deep geologic story, expressed through authentically Oregon Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Native to Oregon vineyards and farmland, owners Cody (son of Oregon Pinot Noir pioneer Ken Wright) and Marque Wright are most intrigued by wines that reveal the history of their native landscape. The name Purple Hands is meant to depict this work: the work of harvest when your hands are purple and black and rugged from long days and nights of pushing yourself to create and sustain quality.

Le Cinciole Chianti Classico
$44.99
Founded at the beginning of the Nineties, driven by a love for nature and dreaming of producing quality products created with respect for tradition and the environment.
Over the years they have worked hard to grow the farm. They have re-planted new vineyards to improve the quality, restructured and expanded the cellar, renovated the machinery, diversified the production, renovated the old farmhouse following an eco-sustainable logic, and realized a photovoltaic system that produces 100% of the energy we need. Today Le Cinciole is a modern and dynamic farm, 100% sustainable.
Tantalus Syrah
$61.99
Tantalus was established in 2004 when Proprietor Eric Savics was presented with the opportunity to acquire one of the Okanagan Valley’s premier vineyard properties. Originally known as Pioneer Vineyards, the site was first planted to table grapes in 1927 by renowned, local horticulturist JW Hughes. The old vine plantings – 1978 Riesling and 1985 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay became the backbone of the vineyard. Other varietals were removed and new plantings of the 3 flagship varietals commenced in 2005. The vineyard would not only have considerable vine age as its anchor, but it would also grow to have superior clone variation as well. With the success of the wines and the increase in production came the need to build a new winery. Tantalus’ sleek new facility was completed in March 2010 and has the distinction of being British Columbia’s first LEED-certified winery. This wine has been awarded best overall BC wine in previous competitions. The vines are generally regarded as the oldest vinifera plantings in the Okanagan.

Usseglio CNDP Magnum
$182.99
From Stephane Usseglio: Domaine Raymond Usseglio finds its roots in the initiative of my father, Raymond Usseglio, who founded it in 1963. My family's wine history dates back to 1931, when my grandfather, Francis, left his native region, from Piedmont, to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
After more than fifteen years of working in the fields, in 1948, he operated a sharecropping farm with his vines and produced his first wine in 1949. The year 1962 marked a significant turning point, with the planting of the first vines in my grandfather's name on the Terres Blanches terroir, now one of the most emblematic of the Domaine. Near these plots, in 1963, my father, accompanied by my mother Danielle, took up the torch from his father and founded the Domaine Raymond Usseglio.
