Selection
Orofino 2022 Red Bridge Red
Bright red fruit and dark cherry rise with cedar, sage and a hint of vineyard scrub. The palate is medium-bodied and mouth-filling, layering cherry, cocoa and vanilla over smooth, approachable tannins. Dry, balanced and comfortably rich, it carries a gentle herbaceous note through a satisfying finish.
Peller Family NV Cabernet Merlot 200 mL
Ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum give this medium-bodied red a generous fruit core, with a mild peppery spice adding definition. The palate is smooth and approachable, carried by soft tannins and a clean, dry finish. The compact single-serving bottle works well with pasta in tomato sauce, grilled meats, hearty stews or a simple weeknight supper.
Da Silva 2022 Vinho Branco
Floral aromas lead into citrus and orchard fruit, with a bright, composed palate that balances energy and texture. Lime, Cara Cara orange and lemon zest arrive first, followed by peach and nectarine through the mid-palate. Citrus peel and green apple return on the finish, leaving a clean, tart and mouth-watering impression.
Therianthropy 2022 Le Maillot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc
Bright raspberry, tart cherry and crunchy pomegranate lead a light, silky red, with anise, fennel, thyme and earthy herbs bringing savoury definition. Whole-cluster carbonic fermentation emphasizes lift and immediacy, while juicy acidity keeps the fruit vivid. Fine texture carries the palate into a fresh, energetic finish that benefits from a slight chill.
Code Wines 2022 Estate Pinot Noir
Red cherry and red currant open into wet forest floor, potpourri and a touch of vanilla. The palate is delicate and crunchy, layering raspberry and pomegranate over a bright frame of acidity. Soft tannins keep the texture supple, while restrained French oak and lingering spice add depth through a poised, quietly savoury finish.
Marichel 2016 Estate Viognier
Fresh melon, ripe peach and apricot lead a clear, aromatic nose, with lemon and delicate floral notes adding lift. The palate sits just below medium-bodied, combining silky texture with clean, well-judged acidity. Melon and citrus carry through a long, balanced finish, while a light mineral edge keeps the generous fruit precise.
Pentage 2023 Pinot Gris
Ripe stone fruit and zesty citrus open a clean, inviting nose. The palate brings nectarine, sun-warmed peach and tangy citrus together in a crisp, medium-bodied frame. Smooth texture gives the fruit breadth, while refreshing acidity keeps the wine bright, direct and neatly balanced through the finish.
1 Mill Road 2022 Black Pine Pinot Noir
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
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.
Deep Roots 2023 Pinot Gris
Silky and floral, with a distinctive salty minerality bringing tension to the smooth texture. The palate is poised and quietly expressive, letting the mineral line carry through a clean, savoury finish. Its combination of softness and definition makes it especially versatile at the table. Serve well chilled with shellfish, sushi, fresh salads or delicate vegetable dishes.
Mission Hill 2016 Quatrain Okanagan Valley
Generous and polished, with ripe blackberry, dark plum and blueberry joined by cedar, baking spice and a restrained savoury note. The palate is full and opulent but carefully balanced, bringing layered fruit, firm structure and smooth tannins into a long, composed finish. Decant for an hour and serve with braised beef, lamb or grilled mushrooms.
Black Hills 2022 Bona Fide
Juicy and immediately inviting, with black and red fruit layered over savoury notes of dry Okanagan scrub. Concrete ageing preserves freshness and energy, while a small portion rested in large neutral oak for gentle breadth. The palate is supple but well defined, finishing with dark fruit and herbal detail. A versatile red for grilled meats, lamb or smoky vegetables.
La Stella 2019 Fortissimo Okanagan Valley
Bing cherry, red cherry and black cherry mingle with grilled herbs, cured tobacco and a subtle frame of warm oak.

Serve with osso buco, rosemary-crusted lamb or a mushroom cannelloni.
Lake Breeze 2021 Syrah
Dark and generous, with violets, plum, red cherry and blackberry layered over warm spice and dark chocolate. The palate is full yet balanced, carrying ripe fruit into savoury notes of cedar, herbs and white pepper. A long, persistent finish keeps the wine poised. A short decant will help the aromatic detail unfold. Serve with grilled lamb, peppered steak or slow-cooked mushrooms.
Voirin-Jumel NV L’Assemblage Tradition Brut
Ripe red fruit leads, followed by cherry biscuit, delicate pastry flakes, sea salt and chalky spice. The palate is vinous and generous rather than sharply linear, with equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bringing elegance and depth. Savoury, dry and lightly crunchy through the finish, it offers richness without losing its poised freshness.
Corbillieres Fabel Barbou 2022 Oisly
Ripe gooseberry and peach lead, with acacia blossom and a light exotic lift. Dry and juicy, the palate combines lively, mature acidity with medium-bodied richness and fine texture from extended lees ageing. Sandy-clay soils and quartz lend precision, while the finish remains complex, elegant and persistent.
Senkin Nature Junmai Sake
Subtle earthiness and delicate floral notes shape the aroma, leading into a soft, rounded palate with clear rice sweetness. Gentle acidity brings freshness and keeps the richer umami character in balance. The texture is calm and composed rather than heavy, with savoury depth unfolding gradually. A clean, lightly tangy finish leaves the floral and grain notes neatly aligned.
Kirakucho Tokiwataru
Delicate ginjo aromatics and rice umami meet in an intricate, quietly powerful profile. The palate balances finesse with a deep core of flavour, carrying the savoury grain character through a measured, layered middle. Low-temperature maturation preserves the elegant shape while allowing the rice to remain clearly present. The final impression stays layered and poised, leaving gentle aromatics, rice depth and restrained power together.
