Ursa Major Riesling
$57.99
From the winemaker: Grown at Mariposa Vineyard from the Similkameen Valley. The soil is made up of various glacial rock formations, primarily stony and silty loam. Heat consistently reflects off of the giant rock formations, so heat is still emitted long after the sun sets. There is a constant wind that rushes through the narrow valley that evaporates any moisture, so mildew and pest pressure is very low. I do not farm this vineyard, this is a negociant wine. I was not allowed to choose picking dates, I was told by the grower that the grapes would just show up at my doorstep! The bins showed up approximately 60-80% affected with botrytis! So I leaned into it. Direct pressed in an open system press, left to settle overnight. The next day the juice was racked into two neutral French oak barrels and two stainless steel barrels. The wine went through a very slow ambient ferment and secondary ferment in barrels. It was left to age in barrels for 10 months on lees. The wine was filtered and then bottled with approximately 30ppm of sulphur.

Ursa Major Cab Franc Vin Gris
$46.99
Born, raised, and handmade with love on the Black Sage Bench in the South Okanagan Valley. Ursa Major is the passion project of Rajen Toor, who was born and grew up in his family's vineyard. The project began as a conversion to organic growing, sustainable cellar practices, and the open mind to experiment and play with the varietals that they have been growing for 26 years. The rose - made from Cabernet Franc- is grown on Sagebrush Vineyard, nestled up against the mountains on the southeast side of Black Sage Rd. Deep sand with a wide gravel bar that runs down the hillside to the bottom of the sloping vineyard. Planted in 2004, his vineyard has been in organic transition for 4 years now, with a focus on soil regeneration and building organic matter. Hand harvested on September 13th. The fruit was whole-bunch direct pressed to stainless steel, where it fermented with ambient yeasts over the course of 2 months. The wine was then racked to neutral barrels and puncheons with full solids. It went through natural malolactic in barrel and rested on full lees for 6 months before bottling, unfined and unfiltered.
Unsworth Pinot Noir
$55.99
Unsworth is situated in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. Labelled “Canada’s Provence” by the late, distinguished foodie, James Barber, this special corner of the world is a fertile trifecta of warm growing conditions, rich soil, and abundant rolling hills. The Salish translation of "Cowichan" means warm land, as the microclimate in the valley keeps the weather warmer and drier than most of the island. It offers up a big core of blackcurrants and raspberries with some cedar hints and bright acidity.
Great Plains 22 Year Cognac Finish
$139.99
Producer Note: "This is the very first batch that we acquired at the beginning of our journey into the whisky business. The bond year of this batch is 2000 and continues to finish in Cognac barrels. It’s pretty great, but the brandy finished stuff was ready ahead of time. So we’re letting this batch sit bit longer and now it’s ready for a partial release."
Batch 1 was created by marrying three single casks of 100% corn whisky from the lost Potters distillery. It spent 17 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being re-racked for 5 years in 25 year old Cognac barrels from Charente, France.

Shelter Point 10 Year Single Malt
$114.99
Big changes going on at Shelter Point. New owners, new management, new vision. While we're a little sad about the changing of the guard, we're also keen to see what comes next for this little island distillery. An infusion of new blood could mean very exciting times ahead.
But in the meantime, let's celebrate a coming of age! 10-year-old single malt that came from the first year of production. We've been patiently waiting for this moment. Well... some of us not so patiently, actually. Hopefully, this 10-year-old becomes the distillery's new flagship expression. Fingers crossed.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 46% abv.
