Selection
NiceLife Peach, Orange, Lemon & Vodka Cocktail
Juicy peach gives the palate a soft, sun-ripened centre, brightened by orange and lemon citrus. Passion fruit adds a tart tropical edge, while orange bitters bring light structure and keep the finish from feeling simple or overly sweet. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice with a slice of orange. It suits grilled chicken, spicy snacks, fruit-led salads or a relaxed brunch where a lively, ready-poured cocktail is welcome.
NiceLife Pineapple, Habanero, Lime & Vodka Cocktail 341 mL
Juicy pineapple leads with a bright tropical sweetness, sharpened by fresh lime before habanero heat builds across the finish. The vodka base stays clean and neutral, letting the fruit, citrus and pepper remain clearly defined. Sweetness and spice are held in useful tension rather than turning heavy. Serve thoroughly chilled with tacos, grilled prawns or barbecued chicken, where the fruit can meet char and the chilli can carry through savoury flavours.
NiceLife Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Lime & Vodka Cocktail 473 mL
The aroma opens with ripe pineapple and fragrant passion fruit, followed by a clean squeeze of lime. Vodka keeps the structure light and uncluttered, allowing the tropical flavours to remain bright rather than heavy. The finish is lively, citrus-led and refreshing. Serve thoroughly chilled, or pour over ice with a lime wheel. It suits grilled prawns, fish tacos, spicy chicken or a simple platter of salty snacks.
NiceLife Prickly Pear, Grapefruit, Lime & Tequila Cocktail
Sweet-and-tart prickly pear gives the palate a vivid fruit core, while grapefruit bitterness provides definition and keeps the cocktail from feeling simple. Lime adds a fresh citrus lift, and the tequila base brings a gently earthy edge beneath the tropical flavour. The finish is bright, balanced and refreshing. Serve very cold or over ice with a lime wedge, alongside ceviche, grilled fish, tacos or chilli-spiced snacks.
NiceLife Raspberry Creamsicle & Vodka Cocktail
Sweet raspberry fruit meets a soft, creamy note for a nostalgic profile that recalls a frozen summer treat. The vodka base stays quiet beneath the flavour, while the texture is rounded and the finish gently sweet rather than sharp. Serve very cold or over ice, ideally with salty popcorn, shortbread, vanilla ice cream or fresh berries. It also makes an easy dessert-style pour when a full cocktail would feel too elaborate.
NiceLife Thai Tea & Vodka 341 mL
Cold-steeped rooibos, black tea and jasmine create an aromatic, botanically driven profile, with warm spice adding depth. The palate is deliberately unsweetened and more tea-like than creamy, carrying firm tannin and a lightly herbal, minty edge through the finish. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice with a slice of lime. Its dry, structured character suits drinkers looking for a spirit-forward alternative to a conventional sweet tea cocktail.
NiceLife Whisky Lemonade
Real lemon juice brings a bright, tangy core, balanced by the gentle warmth and grain character of Canadian rye whisky. The palate is sunny and lightly sweet, with enough citrus freshness to keep the drink easy and lively rather than heavy. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice with a lemon wheel. It is a relaxed, straightforward highball-style cocktail for patios, picnics or salty snacks.
Niche 2021 Near & Far Pinot Noir
Cherry, raspberry and strawberry lead a vivid red-fruited profile. The palate is rich without feeling heavy, bringing the character of two distinct Okanagan sites together through layered structure and depth. Free-run juice and wild fermentation preserve freshness, while the small-batch texture remains composed through a quietly complex finish.
Niche 2022 Extra Mile Cabernet Franc
Ripe red fruit leads, joined by savoury herbs and a fine peppery, earthy edge. The palate is medium-bodied and mouthwatering, with measured oak adding polish without crowding the fruit. Balanced, versatile and easy to enjoy, it has enough savoury depth for tomato-braised dishes, grilled vegetables, herb-roasted pork, lentils or mushrooms finished with a bright vinaigrette.
Niche NV The Counsellor Foch
Drawn from several vintages, this small-lot red is shaped by complexity and balance rather than sheer weight. The palate feels generous and flavourful, moving toward an especially soft finish. Minimal-intervention winemaking keeps the profile direct and unforced, while careful blending gives it a composed, settled feel. Serve with roast pork, braised lentils, grilled mushrooms or aged cheddar.
Nichi Nichi Akitsu Yamadanishiki Sake
A slight natural spritz introduces restrained aromas of melon and crisp apple. The palate is elegant and rounded, balancing gentle sweetness with lively acidity and a clear, dry line. Good depth builds through the middle without adding weight, allowing the fruit and rice character to remain precise. The finish is clean, drying and sustained. Serve lightly chilled with sashimi, grilled fish, or delicate vegetable dishes.
Nichi Nichi Our Rice Field Sake
A fine natural spritz lifts aromas of white grape, melon and apple, with a quiet fresh-herb note adding detail. The palate is refined and balanced, bringing gentle rice umami through bright, measured acidity. The texture remains composed and light despite good depth. A clean, soft finish carries with impressive length. Serve lightly chilled with sea bream, fresh chèvre, or simply seasoned poultry.
Nichi Nichi Tamasakae Sake
A gentle natural spritz opens into green apple and fresh pear, with a delicate rice-flour note adding quiet savoury depth. The palate is elegant and composed, showing good mid-palate weight without heaviness. Soft acidity carries the orchard fruit toward a clean, drying finish. The overall profile is restrained, precise and easy to pair. Serve lightly chilled with tempura, white fish, or steamed dumplings.
Nichi Nichi Yamadanishiki Sake
A gentle natural spritz lifts fresh aromas of peach, pear and lychee, with a subtle yogurt note bringing savoury complexity. The palate is fruit-forward yet balanced, carrying elegant rice umami through a satiny, finely textured frame. Bright freshness keeps the profile light and precise. The finish is smooth, composed and impressively long. Serve lightly chilled with sashimi, steamed shellfish, or mild fresh cheese.
Nichol 2020 550M Pinot Noir
Nichol 2020 Nate’s Vineyard Syrah
Wild blackberry, black cherry and juicy red berries lead a youthful, savoury nose, layered with violet, cracked pepper and fresh herbs. The palate brings sweet tobacco and rich black tea into the fruit, with meaty undertones adding depth. Fine structure and lively freshness carry the peppery finish.
Nichol 2021 Old Vines Syrah Naramata Bench
Wild blackberry and dark cherry meet crushed violet, cracked pepper and a stony savoury underlay. Taut acidity and long, finely grippy tannins give the palate real energy without obscuring the fruit. The finish is persistent, peppery and mineral. Decant briefly and serve with grilled lamb, duck, lentils with herbs or roasted mushrooms.
