750 mL
Riecine 2020 La Gioia Toscana IGT 750 mL
Plum and balsamic notes open with fresh earth and stone, followed by mushroom, grilled meat and a gentle floral lift. The palate is generous and softly ripe, yet assertive acidity and tannin keep the fruit firmly in balance. A savoury, umami-rich middle gives way to a lightly astringent plum-skin note on the finish. Decant before serving with bistecca, braised beef, wild mushrooms or aged pecorino.
Cavallotto 2013 Barolo Bricco Boschis 750 mL
Rose, violet and hibiscus frame dark cherry and raspberry on a finely layered nose.

Full-bodied yet poised, it carries notable energy through a long, persistent finish. Decant generously and serve with braised beef, truffle dishes or aged hard cheese.
Panevino Alvas Bianco 750 mL
Stone fruit and citrus open a broad, golden-hued white, with floral, herbal and gently spiced notes adding complexity. The palate is textured rather than crisp and simple, shaped by extended skin contact and a quiet mineral edge. Acacia ageing brings subtle breadth while fresh acidity keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. A light, savoury grip carries the finish. Serve cool with grilled vegetables, firm fish, roast poultry or washed-rind cheese.
Maison Louis Latour 2017 Pommard Premier Cru Les Epenots 750 mL
Blackcurrant, liquorice and woodland aromas lead a deep, savoury Pinot Noir profile.

Decant briefly and serve with duck confit, beef bourguignon or mature cheese.
Giacomo Fenocchio 2020 Barolo Bussia 750 mL
Spiced rose and liquorice lead a finely drawn, savoury nose, followed by dark fruit, dried herbs, leather and a light touch of mocha.

Freshness keeps the structure balanced, while incense and earthy notes gather through a persistent finish. Decant generously and serve with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheese.
B Cellars 2014 Ehrlich Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 750 mL
Blackberry and dark chocolate lead a full-bodied, brambly Cabernet, with smoke, clove and cinnamon adding savoury warmth.

The finish is firm, polished and persistent. Decant before serving with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs or aged hard cheese.
Tenuta di Trinoro 2013 Palazzi 750 mL
Ripe red stone fruit and raspberry open with wild flowers, white truffle and exotic spice.

Decant before serving with roast lamb, braised beef or porcini dishes.
Golden Age Midnight Dream Mead 750 mL
Raspberry and blackberry lead a vivid berry aroma, framed by floral honey and a subtle herbal note. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with tart red fruit and a light citrus edge bringing lift.

Serve lightly chilled with duck, berry-glazed pork or dark chocolate.
Golden Age Hearth & Fire Mead 750 mL
Golden honey opens into a layered aroma of apple, orange peel and sweet baking spice.

Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature with roasted pork, aged cheese or fruit crumble.
Zapiain Gure Sagardoa Natural Basque Cider 2020 750 mL

Gueuzerie Tilquin Oude Gueuze à l’Ancienne 750 mL
Bright citrus and green apple lead a lively aroma, joined by hay, gentle oak and a clean, earthy funk. The palate is dry and sharply refreshing, with tart orchard fruit, lime zest and measured sourness carried by fine carbonation. A subtle leather note adds savoury depth without obscuring the fruit. The finish is long, crisp and lightly woody. Serve well chilled with mussels, aged cheese, charcuterie, or roast chicken.
Sons of Vancouver No. 82 Amaretto 750 mL
Bitter almond leads a rich, fragrant aroma, joined by vanilla bean and bright orange oil.

Citrus keeps the texture lively, while the almond character remains clear through the middle. The finish is smooth, warming and gently bittersweet. Serve over ice, in an Amaretto Sour, or as a measured sweetener in an Old Fashioned.
Creek & Gully 2023 Crabby Pear Cider 750 mL
Fragrant Bartlett pear opens the aroma, followed by the firmer character of Hyslop crabapple.

Bottle fermentation adds gentle sparkle and keeps the finish lively rather than heavy. Serve chilled with roast poultry, pork, washed-rind cheese, savoury pastries or pear-led dishes.
Tequila Cazadores Blanco 750 mL
Clean agave sweetness leads with bright citrus and fresh aromatic herbs. The palate is direct and lively, keeping the cooked agave character clear while a gentle peppery edge adds definition. There is no oak weight, so the finish stays smooth, crisp and lightly vegetal. Serve neat, over ice or in a Margarita where its citrus and herbal character can remain distinct.
Brancaia Ilatraia 2018 Toscana IGT 750 mL
Dark fruit leads with clarity and depth, framed by savoury spice and a restrained touch of toast.

Serve well chilled over ice and garnish with mint or lemon; the larger format is well suited to sharing beside charcuterie, grilled prawns or herb-led salads.
Logsdon Farmhouse Ales Szech ‘n Brett Saison 750 mL
Lemon and peach lead the aroma, joined by dried apricot, white flowers and a distinctive thread of earthy peppercorn.

Serve cool with roast chicken, grilled sausages, washed-rind cheese or Sichuan dishes that echo its peppery lift.
Ketel One Vodka 750 mL
Light pepper and a subtle citrus note shape the aroma, with a rounded, silky texture through the palate. The flavour stays restrained and clean, finishing smoothly without losing definition.
