Taylor Fladgate 40 Year Tawny Port
$369.99
Taylor's is now more than 300 years old, but it remains a family firm, 100% independently owned. This is an incredible example of an old Tawny port, and it's a real rarity, as so few houses will make a 40 year old tawny. This wine is olive gold in color, with rich caramel, butterscotch, hazelnut flavors. The concentration in this port also produces a wine with amazing length, which lingers beautifully on the palate. Very special!
Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere
$22.99
Viña Carmen, the oldest of the Chilean wine houses, was named by its founder Christian Lanz in honor of his wife. It is located in the Maipo Valley, just one hour away from the bustling city of Santiago! This rich blend of Carmenère and Cabernet is a deep ruby color, with ripe aromas of cassis, tobacco and spice. The palate is full bodied with soft tannins, rich fruit and good structure.
Elderton Command Shiraz
$103.69
The 2006 Shiraz Command is a glass-coating opaque purple. Aromas of scorched earth, pencil lead, sandalwood, meat blood, game, and blueberry are followed by a dense, voluptuous, layered Shiraz with tons of flavor. Impeccably balanced and concealing enough structure for 5-7 years of cellaring, it will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2026. 94 Robert Parker

Estate bottled from some of Niagara's oldest Riesling vines, this wine fully captures the terroir of one of the region's most acclaimed vineyards.

$69.99
Brilliantly made, and worth every penny.

Winemaker Bill Dyer takes special pride in the fact that Burrowing Owl has become one of THE Canadian cult wines and is highly sought after upon release. Look for cedar, mint and blueberry aromas, finishing with hints of dill and anise. Small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc added.

Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz
$90.99
Thrust into the international wine spotlight thanks to an unmatched eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication, The Wine Advocate, Greenock Creek remains the proud standard-bearer for long-lived Barossa Valley red wines of deep colour, abundant flavour and great structure.
Their vineyards are situated in the sub-regions of Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Moppa located along the Barossa Valley’s western edge and are some of the oldest vines in the world. Thin, sandy loam topsoils lie sparsely scattered over ancient deposits of bluestone, marble stone, limestone, quartz and ironstone. Rainfall is limited, often to less than 400 millimetres a year falling through winter and early spring. Subsurface clay retains valuable moisture, sustaining the vines through the long, warm and dry summers and autumns. The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
The Seven Acre vineyard was originally planted in 1990. Each vintage typically undergoes 24-30 months of maturation in American oak with a small amount of further ageing in the bottle before release.
Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength
$121.49
The Glenfarclas 105 was featured on Day 7 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar.
The Glenfarclas 105 was introduced more than 50 years ago, back in 1968. It was the first small batch, cask strength Single Malt Whisky released by a distillery. Like everything that Glenfarclas Distillery releases, the whisky within the 105 was matured entirely in ex-sherry casks. No age statement is given on the bottles, but my guess is we are looking at a whisky that is between 7-10 years old. And of course, it is bottled at a bracing 60% ABV or 105 British proof - hence the name. Pour a bit into your glass and it a taste!
