Terredora Aglianico Il Principio 2015
$43.99
Made from 100% Aglianico grown in family-owned vineyards in Montemiletto.
This winery begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terradora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Piedirosso and Falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the South for its power and its ability to age for many years. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).

Noteworthy Gin
$50.99
This is a big gin with a floral-citric backbone. The "New Western Dry" gin was such a hit just in BC that it has delayed the production of the distillery's whisky. We firmly belive Stevely is one of North America's up and coming distillers, so much so that we've already filled our own cask. We love this gin, and know that you will too.
From the producer: Our award winning Noteworthy Gin is our initial signature release which is a hand-crafted, small batch gin made from 100% British Columbian grown barley, carefully fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to our German copper pot still. After three precision distillations – two to clean the spirit and one to infuse our botanicals, it is then both hand bottled and labeled allowing constant monitoring of the quality control process.
"Ceres, the Roman Goddess of agriculture and grain crops, inspired this exquisite gin recipe. Our careful, meticulous process contributes to the smoothness of this refreshing and carefully balanced gin making it ideal for cocktails, the classic G&T or your favorite martini. It’s an incredibly balanced and refreshing gin.
"Everything about Noteworthy, from the premium packaging to the raw ingredients is about quality and craftsmanship. Our attention to detail and passion for high quality spirits is in every bottle."
Bindi Dixon Pinot
$89.99
"The Bindi Dixon Pinot Noir is based upon declassified grapes from the Original Vineyard planted in 1988 and grapes from the new Block K, planted in 2001. The ideal of this wine is to produce a delicious, perfumed, spicy harmonious, textured wine that is not as intense, complex nor ageworthy as our individual vineyard wines. Even when the outstanding Block K vines are older we will continue to declassify sections or barrels from each vineyard and produce this wine.
The wine is fermented the same way as our other Pinot Noirs in that it is ostensibly 100% de-stemmed and gently worked in small open vats. The wine spends 11 months in French barrels, of which about 10-15% is new.
Production varies from 500-700 dozen per vintage.
This wine was formerly called Bindi Composition Pinot Noir." - Bindi
Best`s Great Western Chardonnay
$34.99
Founded in 1866, Bests' is a family-owned and operated winery with some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world. One of the great things about this Great Western Chard is the fact that the grapes come from some of the earliest plantings of Chardonnay in Australia. They are grown on a deep gravel hill with a west-facing slope and what this means is low yields and great intense flavors. After pressing, the wine spent 8 months in 30% new French oak barriques and achieved 30% malolactic fermentation with plenty of lees contact to encourage a rich, complex and textured wine. Aromas of flint and stone fruit are followed by rich and complex notes on the palate yet it remains elegant and subtle.

Protos Reserva
$59.99
Things start to get serious in this range. It's produced from south facing vineyards in the Burgos Province from 50-year-old vines and aged in French and American barrels for 18 months. It spends two years in bottle prior to release. There's some grip to this wine along with dark red fruits, spice and minerality, and ideal companion to roasted meats and game. Decanting is recommended.
Dominio de Tares Sonrisa
$29.99
Pale yellow colour, aromatic citrus nose, green apple and white flowers. Refreshing palate with creamy acidity, soft texture and persistent finish. We recommend pairing it with mollusks, seafood, light tapas and salads. It is recommended to enjoy it at a temperature of about 10 - 11ºC.
Dominio de Tares Cepas Viejas
$39.99
This is a beautiful Mencía that comes from 70 to 90-year-old vines from the villages of Cacabelos, Vilafranca del Bierzo and Toral de los Vados, all in the Bierrzo region of Spain. The wine is fermented using ambient yeast fermentation then left to age for nine months in French and American oak barrels. It's then aged another 6 months in barrel before it is finally released. Mencia is grape that was overlooked outside of Spain but it's gaining a loyal following for its calling card of flowery aromas complimented by flavours that include strawberry, raspberry, black licorice, pomegranate and cherry. It can produce light, almost Pinot Noir of Gamay-like wines but this one is considerably more substantial, ideal with grilled meats.
