The finish is bright and clean, making the compact can a natural match for spicy noodles, picnic fare, sushi or salty snacks.
Ricco Bambino 2019 La Serpiente S Blanc
An energetic skin-contact Sauvignon Blanc with grapefruit, ripe lemon and passionfruit, lifted by subtle hay-field notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with bright acidity giving the tropical and citrus fruit a clean, balanced shape. Lightly textured but never heavy through the finish, it works well with goat cheese, grilled vegetables, shellfish or gently spiced dishes.
Ricco Bambino 2019 Paquita Pinot Gris
Ripe pear and stone fruit lead, joined by citrus peel and a gentle tea-like savoury note. Skin contact gives the palate a lightly grippy texture, while bright acidity keeps the fruit clear and energetic. Subtle earth and orange zest carry through a dry, clean finish with enough structure for the table.
Narrative 2019 Cabernet Franc Okanagan Valley
Dusty red currant, tart cherry and raspberry meet dried herbs, strawberry leaf and a subtle suede note.

Pair with sausages, lentils or roast vegetables.

El Porvenir 2019 Bonarda
A fruit-forward Argentine red with ripe blackberry, plum and raspberry.

Versatile at the table, it works particularly well with grilled meats, tomato-based pasta, sausages or firm cheeses.
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.

Aromatic without excess weight, it works well with roast chicken, grilled vegetables or creamy seafood dishes.
Winemaker’s Cut 2019 Rosé 750 mL
Field berries, candied strawberry and white peach lead, joined by watermelon and a gentle floral lift.

Luigi Righetti 2019 Campo Tordi Corvina Veneto IGT
Bright red cherry leads a fresh, fruit-driven nose. The palate is light and easy in shape, with gentle tannins and balanced acidity keeping the fruit lively. A subtle bitter-almond note appears on the clean finish, giving this stainless-steel-fermented expression a savoury edge and an especially refreshing feel.
Château Calet 2019 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux
Rated 91 points and a Best Buy by Wine Enthusiast, this Merlot-led red combines ripe black fruit with a dense, smoky structure. The palate is generous and powerful, yet fresh acidity and supple tannins keep the fruit clearly defined. A savoury, dark-fruited finish gives it useful length. Serve with roast beef, duck, mushroom ragout or soft-ripened cheese.
Josh Cellars 2019 Chardonnay 750 mL
Bright citrus and juicy peach lead, followed by apple, pear and a measured note of honey.

Lemon and lime bring freshness through the middle, while hints of apricot and pineapple add breadth. Balanced and approachable, it finishes cleanly with soft fruit, restrained richness and a lingering citrus edge.
Rigour & Whimsy 2019 Hyperdrive 750 mL
Orchard fruit leads with a firm line of acidity and a clear sense of structure. Pinot Blanc provides the wine's spine, while Viognier adds a more expressive counterpoint and broadens the aromatic profile. The two varieties were fermented separately before blending, preserving their distinct roles. The result is energetic and unconventional, with fruit and freshness held in a focused, well-defined frame.
Fauvin 2019/22 Chenas Tradition
Provenance Vineyards 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

Subtle vanilla, mineral detail and a snap of anise bring definition to the robust fruit, leaving a clean, composed finish.
Fort Berens 2019 Riesling
Green apple, fresh lime and white peach lead with a subtle wet-stone mineral note.
