Canadian Red
Bright raspberry, tart cherry and crunchy pomegranate lead a light, silky red, with anise, fennel, thyme and earthy herbs bringing savoury definition.

Canadian Red
A fragrant, finely structured Pinot Noir with sour cherry, cranberry, ripe strawberry and raspberry at the centre. Pepper, dried herbs and graphite add savoury definition as the wine opens. Bright acidity drives the palate, while dusty, fine-grained tannins give youthful density and length. A brief decant brings out its detail; serve with salmon, roast poultry or mushroom dishes.
Sage Hills 2022 Carbonic Pinot Gris
Canadian White
Cherry, raspberry and salmonberry give this skin-contact Pinot Gris a vivid red-fruited profile, balanced by delicate tannins and bright acidity. Ten days in a sealed, carbon-dioxide-rich environment shape its juicy, lightly structured character, while extended lees ageing adds texture without dulling the freshness. Energetic and quietly savoury, it works well with a slight chill and flavourful vegetable or seafood dishes.

French Sparkling
Ripe red fruit leads, followed by cherry biscuit, delicate pastry flakes, sea salt and chalky spice.

Senkin Nature Junmai Sake
Japanese Sake
Subtle earthiness and delicate floral notes shape the aroma, leading into a soft, rounded palate with clear rice sweetness.

A clean, lightly tangy finish leaves the floral and grain notes neatly aligned.

The final impression stays layered and poised, leaving gentle aromatics, rice depth and restrained power together.
Kidoizumi Afruge No. 1 2018 Junmai Sake
Japanese Sake
Bright acidity gives this junmai sake a vivid, vinous shape, while a single-stage fermentation builds concentration and character.

The palate feels layered and savoury, moving from tangy freshness toward a rounder close shaped by mature fruit and soft oak tones.
IWA 5 Assemblage 3
Japanese Sake
Bright floral and vegetal aromas open with remarkable definition, slowly deepening toward white pepper and darker, quieter tones.

The finish is tactile, racy and mouthwatering, lingering with refined smoothness and a clean, composed sense of depth.
