Okanagan Valley
La Stella 2025 Moscato d’Osoyoos 375mL
Orange blossom, peach rind, rose petal and melon form an intensely aromatic profile. Light effervescence lifts the fruit, while bright acidity and measured sweetness keep the palate lively rather than heavy. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, with brunch, a cheese board or gently spiced Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese dishes; it is especially appealing alongside fragrant herbs and mild heat.
Three Sisters 2016 Bench Red 750 mL
Dark berry and cherry fruit lead, with earthy undertones and a measured layer of oak. Merlot and Cabernet Franc shape a full but approachable palate, supported by smooth, refined tannins rather than heavy extraction. The texture is rounded and velvety, allowing the fruit to remain clear. It finishes with steady length, leaving dark fruit, gentle earth and a polished tannic frame.
Winemaker’s Cut 2019 Rosé 750 mL
Field berries, candied strawberry and white peach lead, joined by watermelon and a gentle floral lift. The palate is crisp yet creamy, with bright berry fruit and citrus framed by mouthwatering minerality. A light savoury note gives the fruit shape without adding weight. Dry and refreshing, it closes cleanly with tart strawberry, peach and a lingering citrus edge.
Da Silva 2022 Vinho Branco
Floral aromas lead into citrus and orchard fruit, with a bright, composed palate that balances energy and texture. Lime, Cara Cara orange and lemon zest arrive first, followed by peach and nectarine through the mid-palate. Citrus peel and green apple return on the finish, leaving a clean, tart and mouth-watering impression.
Fairview Cellars Crooked Post 2019 Bill’s OJ Grüner Veltliner
Savoury herbs lead into subtle stone fruit, citrus blossom and a gently rounded honeycomb note. Fresh acidity gives the palate definition, while a quiet touch of vanilla and fine pithy grip add texture through the long finish. Aromatic without excess weight, it works well with roast chicken, grilled vegetables or creamy seafood dishes.
Narrative 2021 Two Pinots
Bright lemon, grapefruit and delicate white flowers open a clear, lifted nose, with crushed rock adding a flinty edge. The palate is bone-dry and fruit-driven, pairing refreshing citrus with a clean, elegant structure. Concrete ageing lends quiet texture without dulling the freshness, leaving a precise mineral finish.
Therapy Freudified Port Style
Flowers, raspberry and strawberry open this fortified red, joined by white pepper, raisin and vanilla. The palate is sweet, warming and full, with Syrah spice set against Merlot softness and ripe berry fruit. A clear spirit warmth shapes the finish, making it a suitable match for dark chocolate, blue cheese or nut-based desserts.
Tinhorn Creek 2017 Pinot Gris
Bright apple, white peach and fresh citrus give this crisp, clean white an immediately inviting profile. Sun-ripened orchard fruit brings gentle breadth, while zesty acidity keeps the palate focused and refreshing. Flavourful without becoming heavy, it finishes with clear fruit and brisk lift, well suited to seafood, roast poultry or fresh cheeses.
Creek & Gully 2022 Just Crab Cider
Crisp crabapple fruit arrives with an earthy, savoury edge and a firm tannic grip. Hyslop and Dolgo crabapples give the palate sharp definition, combining lively acidity with structure more commonly associated with table wine. The finish is dry, focused and persistent rather than soft or sweet. Serve chilled with roast pork, charcuterie, aged cheddar, mushroom dishes or other earthy, savoury fare.
La Stella 2020 Fortissimo Okanagan Valley 375 mL
Black and red cherry, dark plum and spiced fruitcake unfold beside aromatic herbs, cured tobacco and dusty desert scrub. Bold and layered on the palate, it combines ripe fruit with fresh acidity, savoury depth and well-integrated oak that stays in the background. Baking spice and tobacco extend the long finish. Excellent with braised veal, roast lamb or hearty vegetables.
Narrative 2019 Red
Red fruit and fresh herbs open the nose, with dried sage and a mineral note adding savoury definition. The palate is juicy and approachable, layering plum, ripe raspberry and black cherry over subtle tannins. Lively acidity keeps the fruit bright, carrying a smooth black-cherry note through the finish.
Creek & Gully 2020 Pink Lady Pet-Nat Cider
A flinty aroma leads into bright apple fruit with a lively sweet-tart character. The palate is refreshing and focused, combining crisp acidity with a lightly candy-like note that recalls tart fruit sweets without becoming heavy. The clean orchard profile carries through a brisk finish. Serve chilled on its own, or pair with fresh cheese, roast pork, salty snacks and gently spiced vegetable dishes.
River Stone Estate Winery 2022 Splash White
An aromatic, gently off-dry white with ripe pear, white peach and a touch of tropical fruit.

Easygoing but polished, it suits mildly spiced dishes, fresh cheeses or a relaxed aperitif, served well chilled.
