Canada
Marichel 2016 Estate Viognier
Fresh melon, ripe peach and apricot lead a clear, aromatic nose, with lemon and delicate floral notes adding lift. The palate sits just below medium-bodied, combining silky texture with clean, well-judged acidity. Melon and citrus carry through a long, balanced finish, while a light mineral edge keeps the generous fruit precise.
Culmina 2019 Decora Riesling
Daisies, dried apricot and toasted almond open with a subtle yeasty note. The palate is bright and energetic, with creamy texture rounding starfruit and fuzzy peach. A clean, dry line of acidity keeps the fruit precise, while chalky, flinty minerality gives the finish a focused, quietly persistent character.
Fort Berens 2019 Riesling
Green apple, fresh lime and white peach lead with a subtle wet-stone mineral note. The palate is bright and fruit-forward, balancing a gentle touch of sweetness with lively acidity and clean citrus energy. The texture remains light and precise, carrying orchard fruit and minerality into a refreshing, quietly persistent finish.
Elephant Island 2022 Blackcurrant Wine
Vibrant cassis and dark berry fruit lead this medium-sweet, medium-bodied dessert wine. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, with lively acidity lifting the lush fruit and keeping the sweetness in check. A gently tangy line brings freshness to the close, leaving a generous, fruit-forward finish that remains bright and composed.
Little Engine 2017 Sauvignon Blanc
Lime and fragrant guava open into crisp apple and a generous core of tropical fruit. The palate is concentrated and richly textured, yet bright acidity keeps the wine energetic and precise. A long, refreshing finish carries the citrus notes cleanly. Serve well chilled with shellfish, goat cheese or herb-led vegetable dishes.
Stillhead Wild Blackberry Gin
Ripe wild blackberry leads, framed by a clean, classic gin base rather than heavy sweetness. Fresh berry character carries across the palate with gentle juniper structure and a rounded touch of Canadian honey, keeping the profile vivid and balanced. The finish stays bright, lightly dry and distinctly fruit-led. Pour over ice, lengthen with tonic or soda, or use in a Bramble or Pimm's-style serve where its natural berry depth can remain clear.
Mad Laboratory Vodka 750 mL
Soft and creamy in texture, with light caramel and toasted grain notes giving the otherwise clean profile quiet depth. The palate opens smoothly with little initial heat, then develops a measured warmth through the finish without becoming sharp. Its restrained richness makes it well suited to simple service. Enjoy well chilled, pour over ice, or use in a Martini or Vodka Soda where the subtle toast and rounded texture can remain apparent.
Sheringham Rhubarb Gin Liqueur 375 mL
Fresh rhubarb and bright citrus open the aroma, leading to a palate that balances tart fruit with measured sweetness. Juniper and gentle herbal notes keep the liqueur structured, while star anise and lemon peel add lift and a subtle savoury edge. The finish is lively, clean and lightly spiced. Serve chilled or over ice, top with soda or sparkling wine, or use in a citrus-led spritz where its sweet-tart character can stay focused.
Temporal Artisan Ales Expanding Fractals Bourbon Barrel-Aged Belgian Quadrupel 330 mL
Dark candi sugar, piloncillo and jaggery build a deep, molasses-like sweetness over a rich Belgian-style malt base. Extended bourbon-barrel ageing adds vanilla, seasoned oak and warming spice, while expressive abbey yeast brings dried-fruit complexity. Despite its concentration, the finish remains structured, with barrel character and gentle bitterness keeping the dark sweetness in balance. Serve cool in a small glass with braised beef, blue cheese, pecan tart or dark chocolate.
Arrowleaf 2016 Wildblume Sparkling 750 mL
White and pink flowers open with pear blossom, melon and lifted peach. The palate is light, bright and delicate, with fine bubbles carrying the fruit across a fresh line of citrus acidity. A gentle touch of sweetness adds softness without weighing down the wine. Clean and lively through the finish, it leaves peach, melon, floral detail and a crisp citrus glow.
Unsworth Vineyards 2023 Rosé
Wild strawberry and raspberry lead, followed by cranberry, tart cherry and a gently earthy rhubarb note. The palate is dry and vivid, with bright acidity carrying the red fruit over a cool stony mineral line. A light creamy texture softens the edges without dulling the freshness, leaving a clean, precise finish with plenty of coastal lift.
Rust 2022 Gamay
Juicy raspberry and red cherry lead a bright, vibrant palate, with a light touch of spice bringing savoury contrast. Fresh acidity keeps the fruit lively and the finish clean, energetic and easy to return to. Lightly chilled, it is a versatile match for charcuterie, roasted squash or richly seasoned vegetable dishes.
Clos du Soleil 2022 Fumé Blanc
Averill Creek 2024 Joue White
Jasmine tea leads a clean, aromatic nose, followed by precise layers of fruit. Structured, textured and lightly saline, the palate begins with vibrancy before softening through a rounder middle. Fine, talc-like acidity brings shape and length to the finish. Serve with grilled prawns, sashimi, aromatic salads, soft cheeses or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
Arrowleaf 2025 Bacchus Okanagan Valley
Passionfruit and elderflower rise with thyme and lemongrass. Dry and lively on the palate, the aromatic fruit is sharpened by citrus and grapefruit, while fresh herbs add a clean savoury edge. The finish is bright, persistent and refreshing. Serve well chilled with shellfish, green salads, goat cheese or lightly spiced dishes.
Lake Breeze 2023 Pinot Blanc Naramata
Green apple, pear and melon lead with a light tropical lift and a subtle flinty note. The palate is clean, crisp and fruit-driven, with lively acidity and enough texture to feel complete rather than slight. Fresh orchard fruit carries the balanced finish. Serve with shellfish, salads, roast chicken or mild cheeses.
Lake Breeze 2023 Pinot Gris Naramata
Asian pear, candied green apple and quince lead a fragrant, fruit-forward profile. The palate is round but lively, with peach and pear held by fresh acidity and a subtle mineral note. Clean and polished through the finish, it is an easy match for grilled prawns, roast chicken, salads or soft cheeses.
Pentage 2017 Hiatus Red
Ripe cherry, red plum and vanilla lead into black plum, blackcurrant and a gentle savoury note. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-forward, with soft tannins and balanced acidity keeping the generous blend easy to drink. Petite Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Tempranillo and Syrah bring breadth without heaviness. Serve with burgers, lamb kebabs, chicken mole or smoky grilled vegetables.
