Selection
Beau Joie NV Brut Nature Champagne
Clean and crisp from the first sip, with citrus, green apple and white flowers over a light yeasty note. The zero-dosage style keeps the palate dry and direct, while Pinot Noir brings firm structure and Chardonnay adds lift. Fine bubbles, fresh minerality and a savoury finish make this a versatile match for oysters, sashimi or fried seafood.
Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company Full Time IPA
Aromatic and firmly hop-led, this West Coast-style IPA opens with tropical fruit, citrus and pine. The medium-bodied palate is creamy in texture, with pronounced fruit and citrus carried by a measured layer of sweet malt. Moderate bitterness gives shape to the finish without disrupting its balance. Serve cool with burgers, grilled chicken, fish tacos, sharp cheddar or spicy fried dishes.
Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve 1996 Napa Valley Red Wine 750 mL
Cassis, dark cherry and plum lead a rich, mature bouquet. Black olive, roasted herbs and cedar add savoury definition, while vanilla, coffee and liquorice bring polished depth. The palate is full and supple, with concentrated dark fruit framed by firm, integrated tannins and measured freshness. Long and composed, it closes with currant, tobacco, warm spice and a persistent earthy note.
Beaumont 2013 Pinot Noir Icewine
Lush without losing shape, with ripe strawberry, raspberry and black cherry layered alongside apricot, orange marmalade and honey. The palate is rich and concentrated, while a bright line of acidity keeps the sweetness poised. Hints of caramel, hazelnut and honeysuckle deepen the finish. Serve lightly chilled with berry desserts, soft cheese or dark chocolate truffles.
Beefeater London Dry Gin 375 mL
Bold juniper leads, sharpened by bright lemon and orange peel over a clean, dry botanical frame. The palate is fresh and vivid, with citrus lifting the piney core while coriander and savoury herbs add measured complexity. A crisp finish keeps it versatile rather than heavy. Serve with tonic and lemon, stir into a dry Martini, or use it where a classic juniper-forward structure is essential, from a Negroni to a Tom Collins.
Bella Red Vermouth
Citrus peel, cola and alpine herbs give the aroma a lifted, savoury freshness. The palate is structured yet velvety, opening with bright citrus and gentle wood before moving into sarsaparilla, dried flowers and earthy spice. Balanced sweetness rounds the texture without obscuring the botanicals, while a measured bitterness brings definition. The finish is long, grounded and softly herbal. Serve lightly chilled over ice with an orange twist, or use it in a Manhattan- or Negroni-style cocktail.
Belle Glos 2018 Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 1.5L (Magnum)
Deep ruby with scarlet highlights, opening on cranberry, raspberry jam, clove and cedar. Holiday baking spice adds warmth without obscuring the fruit. The palate is rich and lively, building through crushed ripe cherry, cranberry and blueberry pie. Bold in flavour yet structured, it carries a gentle smoky sweetness into a warm, lingering finish.
Bellwoods Brewery Jelly King Strawberry & Rhubarb Dry-Hopped Sour Ale 500 mL
Juicy strawberry and tart rhubarb bring vivid fruit to a dry-hopped sour ale shaped by Citra, Amarillo and Cascade. Lactic acidity keeps the palate clean and lively, while the hops add citrus lift rather than overt bitterness. The finish is dry, tangy and refreshing. Serve cool with goat cheese, fried chicken, grilled pork, fruit salads or berry desserts.
Benalonga Mirto Rosso Sardinian Myrtle Liqueur
Purple-red in colour, this traditional Sardinian liqueur layers ripe myrtle berry with red fruit, blueberry and gentle balsamic notes. The palate is soft, warming and lightly sweet, with a subtle astringent-bitter edge keeping the fruit focused. Serve chilled but not frozen after dinner, pour over ice, or pair with dark chocolate, berry desserts, almond biscuits and aged cheese.
Benanti 2013 Pietra Marina Etna Bianco Superiore 750 mL
Orange blossom and ripe apple rise from an intense, complex nose. The palate is dry and distinctly mineral, with high acidity and saline detail giving the fruit a taut, elegant shape. Long lees ageing contributes depth without softening the wine's volcanic precision. The finish is persistent and savoury, leaving anise, almond, ripe apple and a clear impression of sea-breeze salinity.
Benanti 2021 Etna Rosso
Pale ruby in colour, with lifted red-fruit aromas and a cool mineral edge. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, balancing bright acidity with fine texture and a savoury, saline current. Freshness carries through the persistent finish, giving this poised Sicilian red both clarity and an easy affinity with food.
Benanti 2023 Etna Bianco
Pale and bright, with green-apple freshness, lemon oil and a light chamomile note. The palate is dry and finely cut, bringing white cherry and a touch of honey into vivid mineral acidity. A saline, gently smoky line carries the persistent finish. Poised rather than showy, it suits raw shellfish, grilled fish or simply chilled as an aperitif.
