Greywacke 2014 Pinot Noir
New Zealand Red
Black Doris plum, raspberry, black cherry and strawberry conserve lead a fragrant, generous Pinot Noir. Cinnamon and clove add savoury spice around a dense, lively palate. Fruit from Marlborough's Southern Valleys was hand-harvested, chilled and sorted, with partial whole-bunch fermentation before sixteen months in French oak. The finish is long and energetic, balancing ripe fruit with fine structure.
JoieFarm 2018 A Noble Blend 375 mL
Canadian White
Guava, passion fruit and grapefruit lead a highly aromatic profile, with nutmeg, clove and coriander adding savoury spice. Gewürztraminer and Riesling form the core, joined by Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Each lot was vinified separately in stainless steel after gentle pressing, then blended for a focused, medium-bodied palate and a fresh citrus finish. Serve chilled with seafood or gently spiced dishes.
Rickard’s Red Ale 473 mL
Canadian Beer
Ruby red in the glass with a creamy head, this medium-bodied ale combines caramelized and roasted malt aromas with subtle fruity notes from the yeast.

Serve chilled with grilled beef, barbecue ribs, lamb or nutty cheese.
Rathjen Cellars Scrumpy Cider 500 mL
Canadian Cider
Wild fermentation brings together apples, quince, pears and crabapples gathered from local orchards. The small-lot cider draws entirely on Vancouver Island fruit, reflecting the producer's wider commitment to local growing conditions and orchard diversity around the Saanich Peninsula. Its scrumpy identity is deliberately rustic and fruit-led, with several orchard species contributing to the blend rather than apples alone.
Michael David Winery 2017 Freakshow Zinfandel
American Red
Ripe red berries, cherry and darker fruit lead into cracked pepper and warm spice. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins shaping the fruit while toasted oak adds savoury depth. A lingering spiced finish keeps the wine lively and composed. The Lodi-grown Zinfandel is full enough for grilled meat yet balanced enough to serve with burgers, barbecue or firm aged cheese.
Famille Perrin 2016 Le Grand Prébois Blanc
French White
White flowers lead an elegant, refined and supple palate. The fruit comes from a ten-hectare vineyard just outside Orange, on stony terraces of limestone, sand and clay. Viognier and Marsanne are vinified with temperature control in enamel tanks at about 19°C for roughly three weeks, then bottled six months after harvest. Serve at around 10°C to preserve the wine's floral lift and gentle texture.
El Bandarra Vermut Rojo
Spanish Fortified
Red berries, cherry jam and dried fruit lead into bitter orange, clove, cinnamon and aromatic herbs. The palate balances rounded sweetness with wormwood bitterness, gentle oxidative depth and a warming ginger-spice finish. Macabeo and Xarel-lo form the wine base, which is fortified and infused with a broad botanical mix before resting in oak. Serve chilled over ice with orange peel, lengthen with soda, or use in a Negroni or Manhattan.
Domaine des Sarradels 2016 Al Canon
French White
Pear, pale orchard fruit and a gentle menthol note meet a lightly cloudy, textural white. Macabeo, Grenache Gris and Carignan Blanc from Roussillon bring a softly oxidative edge, subtle salinity and a faint natural spritz. The palate stays broad but restrained, with low-seeming acidity and a savoury finish. Serve cool with grilled fish, roast poultry, creamy vegetables or washed-rind cheese.
Las Moradas de San Martín 2010 Initio
Spanish Red
Blackberry jam, prune and orange blossom open into liquorice, cocoa and a firm mineral note.

The finish is long and persistent. Pair with lamb, roast pork, mushroom dishes or firm aged cheese.
Calcarius 2019 Hellen Rosso
Italian Red
Mulberry, bright red fruit and forest notes meet a stony, saline mineral line. Nero di Troia grown over limestone near the Adriatic is fermented spontaneously in open steel with a short period on skins, then rests in steel. The palate is fresh and direct, with moderate weight, lively acidity and fine, granular tannin. Serve lightly cool with tomato-based pasta, grilled vegetables, sausages or roast pork.
Creek & Gully Pear Lime Sparkling Pear Soda
Canadian Ready-To-Drink
Organic Anjou pears from the family farm provide the base for this sparkling pear soda. Carbonated water lifts the fruit's natural sweetness, while lime adds a clean citrus edge and a brighter finish. The profile stays simple and fruit-led rather than syrupy, with fresh pear flavour carried by fine bubbles. Serve well chilled on its own, over ice or alongside salads, soft cheese and light picnic dishes.
A Sunday in August 2020 Piquette Rouge
Canadian Red
Fuzzy cherry candy, bramble, blackberry and flowers rise from a light, bright red with lively acidity. Rehydrated pomace from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zweigelt is macerated, blended with fermenting juice, then aged before a honey-driven secondary fermentation. The result is gently rustic, refreshing and just over seven percent alcohol. Serve chilled with charcuterie, picnic food, grilled vegetables or roast chicken.
Envínate 2022 Benje Blanco
Spanish White
Smoky stone fruit, citrus peel and a saline edge sit over a firm mineral core. Old-vine Listán Blanco from high Tenerife slopes receives partial skin contact before fermentation and élevage in concrete and seasoned barrique. A flor-influenced portion adds savoury depth without obscuring the fresh fruit. The dry, layered palate finishes with salt, gentle spice and a stony lift that suits grilled fish, shellfish and roast vegetables.
Beringer Main & Vine Cabernet Sauvignon
American Red
Jammy black fruit and red berries lead this easy-drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. Sweet vanilla and oak round the fruit, while a light thread of spice adds warmth without making the palate heavy. The texture is smooth and approachable, with enough dark-fruit character to accompany burgers, grilled beef, tomato-based pasta or aged cheddar. Serve just below room temperature after a short rest in the glass.
JoieFarm 2021 Tsunami Rosé 250 mL
Canadian Rosé
Strawberry, raspberry, dried sage, cherry, cranberry and citrus shape a juicy, medium-bodied rosé.
