Blue Mountain Estate Cuvee Pinot Noir
$47.99
Blue Mountain is the wild and respected territory of which the Mavety family are blessed to be the guardians. As a family business with a strong connection to the South Okanagan site, the goal of Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars is to realize the potential of the individual sites of the land in which the grapes are grown. Overlooking and tending, the Mavety’s life work is an ongoing process of creating something simple yet powerful, to be expressed in the glass and enjoyed. The philosophy of Blue Mountain is to focus on the potential of each variety, continually improving its range across Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay Noir, and Traditionnelle Methode sparkling wine. Blue Mountain’s strong focus on viticulture across the site allows for an increased representation of individual terroir when the grapes reach the winery.
Unico Zelo Alluvium
$38.99
Unico Zelo champions Australian culture with playful, sustainable wines crafted from drought-resistant grapes for easy enjoyment and a fresh perspective on Australian wine.
Ever had a wine that tastes like you're drinking a laser? Well, we've made one - Alluvium. The epic vineyards we source this from are just around the corner from our Gumeracha winery in Birdwood. The Fiano (along with some Nero) was grafted from Sauvignon Blanc back in 2015!
This wine is in peak form in 2022. Its definition and tension has not been this pronounced in a few vintages - the acid is thrilling, crackling and ready to burst out of the bottle. Texturally it's on point, less waxy than some of the others in the range which really suits this leaner style. All grapefruit pith, perfectly ripe pineapple, guava, kaffir lime and jasmine tea, with that great mineral feature aromatically.
Anohka This Is Not Whisky Heavily Peated

Producer Description
"This is not whisky. The spirit in this bottle is drawn from the very first barrels filled at Anohka Distillery. We wanted to capture and share a snapshot of this young, impetuous, and surprisingly complex spirit, while the rest of our single malt remains maturing in barrels, continuing its long journey to becoming whisky."
Ken Wright Chardonnay
$54.99
After 47 years of wine making experience Ken Wright Cellars believes in a simple truth: source is everything. Their approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation. They use organic certified practices as a base and expand upon that with advanced nutrition-based farming. By analyzing both their soil profile and vines, maintaining proper crop levels, personally sampling each vineyard, and hand-sorting each cluster, they ensure that the inherent character in their fruit is revealed in the finished wine. Minimal handling of wine is essential to preserve what it is; a gift of nature. While Ken Wright is deservedly famous for his excpetional Pinot Noirs the Chardonnay is a revelation; full, rich, minerlally.
Clos Cibonne Tibouren Tradition Rose
$63.99
The heart of Clos Cibonne is their traditional, goblet-trained tibouren, which is believed to be a very old grape variety, originally grown in Mesopotamia, propagated by the Greeks, before being transported by the Romans to Italy in the Liguria region, where it is known as rossese. Tibouren is a very fine, thin-skinned grape which requires a lot of ventilation to be successful and needs to grow close to the ocean, with lots of ventilation to be successful and avoid issues with rot. All of these requirements make Clos Cibonne the perfect terroir for tibouren, as they are walking distance to the ocean and constantly blasted with the drying winds from the mistral. André Roux, the architect of the modern winery, was a great fan of this native variety and understood its potential to be the ideal grape for the region. It is one of the most expressive rose wines on the planet, and is rivalled only by Domaine Tempier in our opinion.
Compass Box Nectarosity
$104.99
Not happy to rest on their laurels as one of the best blended whisky creators on the planet, Compass Box now seems to be getting into the business of creating words. Compass Box Nectarosity's core is built around seasoning American Oak barrels with grain whisky for a period of maturing and then filling them once more with Malt Whisky. After the malt component matures, it is blended with the original grain whisky component, and the Nectarosity blend is born.
That is the short version - there is more Compass Box magic that goes into creating Nectarosity than just these two core components. You can check out more info below. Bottled at 46% ABV.
From The Producer
"Nectarosity contains casks that we’ve been experimenting with for the last seven years. These casks are special American oak barrels that are deployed twice. First to impart sweet spice to grain spirit for one year, which finishes maturing in other casks; this becomes our parcel of grain whisky from The Girvan Distillery in the composition. Once 'prepared', the barrels age malt whisky from The Clynelish Distillery, bringing grilled apples, nutmeg and maple syrup to the party. We take these two characterful whiskies, blending them with select others to really dial up the juicy fruit and vibrant toffee notes."
