Wine
Quail’s Gate 2024 Field & Flight Rosé
Wild strawberry and delicate rose petal aromas are lifted by a touch of citrus zest. Silky and refined on the palate, it combines juicy red berry fruit with crisp minerality and a bright, refreshing finish. Dry and pale in style, it is an easy match for fish tacos, sushi, grilled prawns or light summer dishes.
Meyer Family 2024 Chardonnay Columbia River Plateau
Ripe orchard fruit and melon shape a soft, rounded palate with a gentle suggestion of sweetness. Stainless-steel fermentation preserves freshness, while neutral oak adds quiet texture without obvious wood flavour. Fuller and more relaxed than a taut cool-climate style, it finishes smooth and ready to enjoy with roast chicken, salmon or creamy vegetable dishes.
Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur 2020 Meursault Les Corbins
Refined and quietly generous, with white flowers, grapefruit and peach skin over a subtle mineral line. The palate is smooth and harmonious, combining measured richness with fine acidity and a focused, very long finish. A gentle stony note keeps the texture composed. Serve cool rather than cold with scallops, roast poultry, butter-poached fish or creamy mushroom dishes.
Matawhero 2021 Church House Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
Ripe peach and melon lead a generous bouquet, joined by praline, nougat and a measured touch of vanilla. The palate is rich and weighty, with a creamy oak-shaped texture balanced by fresh acidity and a clean line of citrus. Generous without becoming heavy, it finishes long and harmonious. Pair with roast chicken, salmon or buttery mushroom dishes.
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.
Synchromesh 2023 Riesling Thorny Vines
A dry, tightly structured Riesling with more palate weight than the producer's other vineyard bottlings, balanced by a long, linear line of acidity. The north-facing site, set in slightly richer loamy soils about a third of the way up the Naramata Bench, gives the wine breadth without sacrificing its focused, cool-toned drive.
Quails Gate 2024 Field and Flight Pinot Noir Oregon
Red cherry, raspberry and cranberry are set against forest floor, cool florals and a flicker of spice. The palate is soft and smoothly textured, with moderate ripeness and a savoury undercurrent that keeps the fruit in focus. Round and easy to enjoy, it finishes with gentle earth and red fruit. Pair with salmon, duck or mushrooms.
Ursa Major 2023 Chapter V Gamay Vin Gris
Whole-cluster pressed without maceration, this pale Gamay was fermented naturally in neutral barrels and puncheons, then rested on its lees for five months. Volcanic rock, sandy loam and clay at the West Kelowna site frame a precise, lightly textured vin gris. Hand-bottled unfined and unfiltered, it finishes with quiet savoury detail and gentle breadth.
Echo Bay 2021 Synoptic
Dark fruit comes first, followed by mineral and herbal detail that gives the wine a distinctly savoury edge. The tannins are polished yet still grippy, holding the fruit in a youthful, firmly structured frame. A lingering finish suggests useful cellar potential, though a generous decant will help now. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, braised mushrooms or firm aged cheese.
Le Vieux Pin 2021 Syrah Cuvee Classique 375mL Okanagan Valley
Blue Mountain 2019 Reserve Cuvée Pinot Noir
Plush yet composed, with lively black raspberry and black plum leading into darker cherry and a subtle mocha note. The palate is rich and full flavoured, carried by silky tannins into a dry, earthy finish touched by forest floor, smoke and savoury umami. Its generous fruit remains precise, with enough structure to reward a little more time in bottle.
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.
Domaine Romain & Simon Pillot 2023 Bourgogne Rouge
Juvé y Camps 2021 Reserva de la Familia Gran Reserva Brut Nature Cava
Ripe white peach and apricot open with lemon citrus, fennel, toast and a touch of green tea. The palate is creamy, fresh and rounded, with a fine, sandy mousse and bright citrus tension. Long ageing brings savoury depth without heaviness, carrying the white-fruit flavours into an elegant, dry finish.
Taittinger NV Brut Réserve
Pale golden-yellow with fine, persistent bubbles, opening on delicate white flowers, peach and crisp apple. The palate is smooth and creamy yet precise, layering lemon, brioche, honey and a restrained touch of vanilla over lively acidity. Supple texture carries the fruit into a long, balanced finish with gentle richness and a clean mineral edge.
Venturini Baldini NV Montelocco Lambrusco Emilia IGP
Deep ruby with violet reflections, offering juicy black cherry and a lifted note of wild herbs. The palate is fresh and gently semi-dry, with soft bubbles, lively acidity and light tannins giving shape to the ripe fruit. A subtle savoury edge keeps the sweetness measured, leading to a clean, easy finish that remains bright rather than heavy.
Enrico Gatti NV Franciacorta DOCG Brut
Bread crust, green apple and pear lead, joined by pineapple, citrus and a gentle floral note. The palate is fresh and well balanced, with fine persistent bubbles and a crisp line of acidity carrying almond, honey and hazelnut. Toasted nuances and a savoury mineral touch shape an elegant, lingering finish.
Gérard Bertrand 2023 Héritage An 825 Brut Crémant de Limoux
Bollinger 2015 La Grande Année Champagne
Golden and mature in tone, with Mirabelle plum, orchard fruit and honey followed by blackberry, cherry and almond. The palate is broad, generous and finely textured, its creamy mousse carrying ripe fruit toward a layered finish of dark chocolate, citrus and cool mineral detail. Richly gastronomic, it suits roast poultry, mushrooms or nutty cheeses.
Champagne Lancelot-Pienne NV Accord Majeur Extra Brut 1.5L (Magnum)
Ripe fruit and gentle spice lead, framed by a golden colour and sustained, delicate bubbles. The palate is full and balanced, with a creamy, generous core sharpened by freshness and tension. Spicy roasted notes emerge through the resonant finish, while four years of cellar ageing adds depth and harmony.
