Tedeschi Soave
$25.99
A crowd-pleasing white wine at a great price! Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides. Since 1630, their family has believed in the extraordinary potential of local wine production, enhancing its value in a modern key with innovative production and environmental management methods with the end result of creating wines that are able to evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land. Soave, named after the hilltop town in the Veneto, is made from 85% Garganega and 15% Chardonnay grapes which are harvested by hand in early October.
Toni Jost Bacharacher Trocken
$29.99
Toni Jost's grapes grow on steep slopes in the narrow valley of the Rhine. The northern location allows the grapes to ripen slowly. Unique Rieslings and Pinot Noirs grow here on slate soil. The manual work, minimally supported by special machines, is simply a reality on such steep vineyard sites and the wines express the work and care that goes into making them. The vineyards are located on both sides of the Rhine, in the Middle Rhine Valley and in the Rheingau. In Bacharach on the Middle Rhine, the family has been growing Rieslings here since 1831. Seven generations of the Jost family have laid the foundation for some of the best wines produced in the Mittlerhein and Rheingau.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
$48.99
Cloudy Bay is a benchmark for this famed Kiwi white wine. 90 points from Wine Spectator for the 2013. The review: "Graceful and elegant, with spice, Meyer lemon and quince notes up front. This is silky smooth but shows tremendous power on the finish, where crisp, clean acidity and flavors of mineral, ruby grapefruit and stone fruit crescendo. Drink now."
Tantalus Riesling
$46.99
This Riesling shines like pale morning sunlight in the glass - so inviting, so "Tantalus-ing." A gem from the Okanagan that could give a traditional German Riesling a run for its money. Aromas of lime zest and guava accented by nuances of ripe melon and gala apple. Nicely balanced with flavors of citrus and a clean, zesty grapefruit undertone. A lingering finish and a gorgeous way to whet your appetite!
Raul Perez Muti Albarino
$58.99
This one won't last, even at this price! One of the most singular Albarinos being made today, by one of Spain's most talented and busy winemakers, Raul Perez. Fragrant mineral, sea salt, lemon meringue, honeysuckle, nutmeg, and petrol notes on this bracing, intense, beautifully proportioned Albarino. Lengthy and pure.
Black Hills Viognier
$34.99
The beautiful Black Hills Estate winery has been a favourite of Canadian wine lovers since it was established in 1996. Their well-priced Viognier is possibly their most well-known white wine, and is a showcase of what this white grape is capable of outside its home turf in Condrieu and Rhone, France.
Dirty Laundry Pinot Gris
$29.99
Dirty Laundry pays homage to its past while producing fun-loving, yet serious wines. It's a small family-owned Okanagan winery in Summerland, situated high above the original town site on a plateau that enjoys an ideal micro-climate and excellent sun exposure for growing exceptional grapes. Thanks to the vision of the vineyard’s founders, Dirty Laundry Vineyard has some of the oldest vinifera vines in the Okanagan Valley. The winery features a most welcoming and beguiling vine-covered patio that overlooks orchards, vineyards and Okanagan Lake, as well as the historic trestle bridge at Trout Creek Canyon.
The Pinot Gris is a bestseller at the winery, where it tends to sell out quickly each year. With notes of nectarines, freshly mowed grass and pears, this crisp white will pair well with grilled chicken, fish, seafood or turkey.
Bench 1775 Chill
$22.99
"Delicious fruit salad in a glass...Think lemon flan," according to the winery team! We won't argue - we're too busy enjoying those notes of lemon zest, apricot, guava and mineral, with just a hint of caramel on the finish. A fun blend of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay and, as the name suggests, serve it chilled. Located at 1775 on the Okanagan Valley's famous Naramata Bench, Bench 1775 is owned by the same team that owns Paradise Hill and Whistler, too.
Le Grand Verdus Bordeaux Blanc
$22.99
A pretty blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle! According to the family of winemakers behind this value-priced white, it has "a rich aromatic palette, to delight all the senses: white flowers, pear and citrus fruit." The Le Grix de la Salle family started their winemaking business after the Second World War, but the family's roots on the estate go back to Renaissance times.
