Zanatta NV Glenora Fantasia Brut
Green apple leads the bouquet, framed by a stream of fine, persistent bubbles and a clean, brisk palate. Extended lees ageing brings subtle breadth and a lightly savoury dimension while the fruit remains fresh and focused. Distinctive and polished, this traditional-method sparkling wine is a natural aperitif and an excellent partner for oysters, smoked salmon, fried chicken or creamy cheeses.
Synchromesh 2023 Storm Haven Vineyard Gibson-Block 3 Blue Label Riesling
Mango, candied ginger and fleshy ripe peach lead a concentrated, highly aromatic Riesling. The palate is rich and viscous but never heavy, driven by intense, complex acidity and a fine mineral thread from decomposed granite and sandy gravel soils. Dried apricot carries into an exceptionally long, seamless off-dry finish. Serve with spicy dishes, blue cheese or fruit-led desserts.
The Hatch 2018 Crown + Thieves Scoundrels Punch
Dark berries, black cherry and plum lead into cedar, cocoa and quiet spice. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with blackcurrant, bramble, dark chocolate and savoury herbs carried by firm but refined tannins. Toasted oak lingers through a long, smooth finish. Decant briefly and serve with grilled flank steak, lamb shank, mushroom ragu or aged cheddar.
Le Vieux Pin 2021 Syrah Cuvee Classique 375mL Okanagan Valley
O’Rourke’s Peak 2018 Grüner Veltliner
Tropical pineapple and stone fruit lead, with white pepper giving both the nose and palate a distinctive savoury lift. Lychee and honeycomb add a gently rounded middle, while thyme, lime and fine minerality bring focus through the finish. Expressive yet well defined, this is an aromatic white with enough freshness and detail to remain poised at the table.
Lake Breeze 2018 Meritage
Plum cake and dark berries lead, layered with salted caramel and aromatic spice. The palate is dry and sleek, with a distinct herbal thread beneath toasted spice, espresso and dark chocolate. Savoury and fragrant, the blend carries its richness with polished shape rather than heaviness. Serve with roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Little Engine 2016 Silver Chardonnay
Citrus and fresh apple lead, accented by a measured touch of toast. The palate is rich but well shaped, with bright acidity keeping the fruit and subtle oak in balance. Polished and persistent, it closes with a clean, lively finish rather than excess weight. Pair with roast poultry, butter-poached fish or a simple mushroom risotto.
Poplar Grove 2018 Benchmark Okanagan Valley
Violet, black currant and ripe blackberry give the nose a dark, floral lift. The palate is plush but balanced, with juicy fruit, measured acidity and fine tannins providing shape. A trace of vanilla and savoury spice follows into the smooth, persistent finish. Decant for half an hour and pair with roast beef, lamb chops, charred eggplant or hard cheese.
Poplar Grove 2019 Benchmark Okanagan Valley
Juicy red fruit and sweet vanilla open with blackberry, dark plum and a touch of warm spice. Rich and well balanced on the palate, it carries generous fruit over soft tannins and a clean structural line. The long finish remains composed rather than heavy. Serve with grilled steak, braised pork, roast squash or a savoury mushroom tart.
Blind Enthusiasm Fruitful Pursuits Cherry
Ruby-red and vividly aromatic, this spontaneous-fermentation cherry beer brings ripe sour cherry, baking spice and marzipan together over tart, juicy acidity. Whole Okanagan cherries give the palate depth without obscuring its freshness, while extended barrel fermentation adds quiet complexity. Serve cool with duck, pork, washed-rind cheese or almond pastries; the lively acidity also makes it a polished aperitif.
Blind Enthusiasm Spontaneous Manifesto
Bright and vinous, this spontaneous-fermentation blend layers stone fruit, crisp apple and juicy citrus with a gentle red-wine fruitiness and subtle tannin. The texture is rounded and generous, lifted by high carbonation before a dry, lingering finish. Serve well chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken, firm cheese or simply as a distinctive aperitif for curious wine and beer drinkers.
8th Generation 2023 Pinot Meunier Rosé
Clean and dry, with bright red-fruit character and a crisp, refreshing line through the palate. Its light frame keeps the fruit lively rather than sweet, while the finish is precise and easygoing. Serve well chilled alongside salmon, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or a summer salad; it also makes a polished aperitif.
Meyer Family Vineyards 2023 Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir
Earthy and juicy, with cherry and raspberry at the centre and a gentle touch of spice around the edges. The palate is fresh, dry and immediately approachable, with neutral French oak adding texture rather than overt flavour. Four Okanagan sites contribute nuance and balance, giving the wine a composed regional character and a clean, savoury finish.
Apara 2022 Syrah
Brambly red and dark berries open with a clear white-pepper lift and stem-derived spice. Light on its feet, the palate is crunchy and refreshing, with whole-cluster energy keeping the fruit vivid. Neutral oak sits quietly in the background, allowing bright berry flavours and savoury spice to carry through a clean, lively finish.
Poplar Grove 2023 Chardonnay
Light gold in the glass, opening on tropical fruit, yellow apple and a subtle floral note. Pineapple and melon broaden the palate, while bursts of citrus and balanced acidity keep the fruit clear. Light French oak brings restrained butterscotch and toast before a long, silky finish. Serve with roast chicken, salmon, corn or creamy vegetable dishes.
Terravista 2020 Figaro
Beeswax, orange blossom, lemon and nectarine open with a restrained touch of oak spice.

Roussanne and Marsanne bring breadth while Viognier adds aromatic lift, carrying the wine through a persistent, savoury finish.
Synchromesh 2025 Storm Haven Vineyard Dry Riesling
Zesty lime, lemon peel and pink grapefruit lead a sleek, finely drawn palate. Racy acidity gives the citrus real momentum, while a light sherbet note softens the edges without tipping into sweetness. Dry, precise and energetic, it finishes on citrus pith with a firm, refreshing snap. Serve well chilled with oysters, ceviche or goat cheese.
Rust 2022 Chardonnay
White peach and pale plum lead a textured, quietly complex white, with a delicate caramel note adding warmth.
