Rust En Vrede Estate
$83.99
So many accolades for this gorgeous red, it's hard to keep track but let us share this one. Nelson Mandela selected Rust en Vrede for his celebratory Nobel Peace Prize dinner in Oslo in 2004. Wow! Scores in the 90s consistently. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Offers great intensity and a powerful mouth filling experience. Dark berries and notes of coffee give way to a lingering finish.
Roumieu Sauternes 375 ml
$29.99
The Romieu family have farmed their plot of land in the coveted Sauternes since the 18th century. A classic Sauternes defined by its botrytis-infected grapes, this wine features rich textures of peach, mango, and pineapple, complemented by subtle undertones of chamomile tea and dried herbs. Smoky nuances and white pepper spice blend seamlessly with balanced acidity for an appealing finish. Botrytis cinerea - aka Noble Rot- is a necrotrophic fungus that affects grapes, effectively turning them into raisins on the vine. Someone figured out that you could still press those grapes, yielding a sweet honeyed nectar that's capable of ageing for one hundred years or more. Made with 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon, it offers notes of peach, mango and pineapple flavours in a rich texture with hints of chamomile tea and dried herbs. Smoky notes with white pepper spice mingle with balanced acidity in the appealing finish. Great value for Sauternes of this calibre.
Roumieu Sauternes
$49.99
It's amazing to think what a little havoc in the vineyard can create. Sauternes are made from grapes that get shriveled by an unusual fungus. Not to worry - the grapes are bursting with sweetness and flavor, resulting in this famous desert wine. Made with 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, it's gorgeous with apricot and marmalade notes. Well balanced. Not cloying at all. Brilliant with,or for desert.
El Dorado 15 Year Rum
$65.99
This 15-year-old Demarara rum from Guyana is a blend of rums aged at least 15 years (and some are close to 25 years of age.) Somewhat scotch-like, with subtle peaty notes, this one has notes of confectioner's sugar, banana and cedar on the nose. A silky entry leads to a moderately full-bodied palate of vibrant, yet refined dry caramel and grilled tropical fruit flavours braced by warm alcohol, and firm, smooth oak spice.
El Dorado 21 Year
$115.99
This Demerara rum is a blend of rums aged to a minimum of 21 years, and up to 25 years. The nose is complex with subtle confectioned notes. The palate is warm, yet silky with gentle notes of tropical fruitl. The warmth of alcohol is supported by smooth oak notes allowing the tropical flavours to flourish. The finish is long and pleasant.
Rolf Binder Hales Shiraz
$29.99
This is a great buy. Here's what Natalie McLean, Canadian wine critic, has to say about the 2012 vintage: "Here's a lip-smacking, delicious Australian red wine at a great price! Loaded with aromas of black fruit and dark spice, this Shiraz over-delivers and floods the senses. You order the pizza, and I'll pour the wine. So easy-drinking, this wine gets my vote of 90/100. Natalie's Shiraz food pairings: hamburgers, pizza, black bean soup, cheese, beef.
