Aha Toro Blanco
$48.99
"Tequila Aha Toro has been handmade for over a century at the hacienda “El Olvido” in the tiny village of Jesùs Maria in the province of Jalisco. The hacienda is the centre of the distillery and has a wealth of history. Located in the highlands, at 2100 meters above sea level, the area benefits from the ideal growing conditions. Each bottle is a unique piece of hand blown glass also handcrafted by Mexican artisans," according to importer Lanigan-Edwards. "Blanco is in its most pure and simple state, true to its 100% agave essence. It is a powerful un-aged Tequila that shows how traditionally made Tequila from the mountains of Jalisco should taste. This lively and crisp tequila is the best choice for ultra premium cocktails. Aha Toro Blanco may also be enjoyed straight up in a snifter, chilled first in the refrigerator or the freezer, then sipped. Red apples are dominant with a hint of minerals and honey. Soft and fruity opening, followed by minerals and honey, with a sweet fruit and peppery finish."
Marcarini Barbera D'Alba Ciabot
$31.99
Barbera is the Piedmont's most widespread variety, and one where results vary greatly. Given Marcarini's extremely low crop yields per hectare, excellent exposures (south/southwest), and élevage in French barriques, their superb version is a truly great wine, with remarkable balance between tannins and acidity. This exceptional Barbera is a particularly fine match for meat-based second courses.
Arran Sauterne Cask Finish
$87.99
Part of the Arran Cask Finish line, this whisky started in ex-Bourbon casks, and was finished in ex-Sauternes Wine Bariques. 50%
Wild Goose Autumn Gold
$36.99
Wild Goose Vineyards is a family run VQA winery that was established in 1990. Their products are not sold in the BC government liquor stores, so it is quite a treat to have them here. Autumn Gold is their best seller. A popular blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc, it exhibits notes of rose, apple, pear on the palate combined with a pleasant semi-dry finish.
Chiarlo Gavi Le Marne
$35.99
Michele Chiarlo is a genius winemaker, and this gorgeous, elegant white shows exactly why. Expect fresh lemon and peachy characters, and a medium-bodied palate. The wine starts silky and then finishes with a clean mineral note. Try it with sushi or shrimp and scallops in pasta with a buttery sauce. Made from Cortese grapes.

Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale
$7.09
Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale is walnut-like colour, with notes of hazelnuts on the palate. Wonderful balance of roasted crystal malt and aromatic hops. Long clean finish. Brown ale is a specialty of the North of England. A festive-occasion beer, brown ale is one of the oldest English brewing styles, mentioned in literature in the 16th century. Beers brewed at the old brewery have a round, nutty flavour because of the Yorkshire square system of fermentation.
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
$7.59
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is almost opaque, with an unusually silky texture and complex, medium-dry velvet palate. Bittersweet finish. Originally a drink for lactating mothers, oatmeal stout was described as nutritional on early labels. A small addition of oats yields great flavour. Popular in the late 1800s, the last oatmeal stout was brewed before the First World War until Samuel Smith reintroduced this style in 1980.
