Hansel Estate Chardonnay
$51.99
In the 1970s Walter Hansel enlisted the help of his son Stephen to plant 257 Chardonnay vines. Throughout the 1980's the winery grew, as did the quality of the wine. It's still a relatively small winery but their Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are now highly regarded and offer a Burgundian esthetic in a Sonoma setting. The Estate Chardonnay from Walter Hansel is one of the best showcases of what this winery can do with the grape. It avoids extreme oak and over-the-top flavour in exchange for balance, elegance and food-friendly compatibility.

Hester Creek Sauvignon Blanc
$23.99
The estate now sits on land that was purchased in 1967 by BC wine pioneer, Joe Busnardo. With his Italian roots, Joe recognized the land’s potential and made a trip back to his home country to take cuttings of Vitis vinifera vines, bring them back to Canada and plant them in 1968. In 2004, BC entrepreneur, Curt Garland, purchased Hester Creek Estate Winery and made substantial investments to the vineyard and winemaking. His vision was to create the Tuscan experience here in British Columbia’s wine country through luxury accommodation, fine dining and a state-of-the art winemaking facility and tasting room.
Today, Hester Creek sits on 115 acres of land with 88 acres planted under vine. Our wines are crafted by Winemaker, Mark Hopley, who takes his inspiration from the terroir and leads a team of future Okanagan winemakers.
Tetramythos Sideritis Nature Organic
$40.99
This is a unique, minimal-intervention orange wine from Greece, made from the rare Sideritis grape, known for its distinctive wild herb/floral notes (like mountain tea), citrus, minerality, and slightly tannic, complex profile, reflecting its high-altitude, organic origins with skin contact for a coppery hue and natural fermentation.

Chateau Coutet Sauternes 375ml
$59.99
Chateau Coutet is effectively a golden triangle formed by the ocean, the river and the forest, with the Ciron running through it: that is where you will find the terroir. Château Coutet bears the stamp of the place, a one-of-a-kind liveliness and a keen-edged style which may explain the name of the château itself, derived from "couteau", the French word for knife. It was recognised as a Classified First Growth in the 1855 classification, but the lands around Barsac, among the coldest in the area, had already been planted with vines for centuries.
La Spinetta Rose Di Casanova
$31.99
In the beginning of the 1960s, Giuseppe Rivetti, nicknamed ‘Pin’, and his wife, Lidia, were both expert and dedicated farmers with enormous appreciation and knowledge for tradition while keeping a curious interest in the future. They exemplified humility, respect, as well as ambition. These are the values that still define the philosophy of La Spinetta. In due course, their children, Carlo, Bruno, Giorgio, and Giovanna, took over the winery reins. They worked to implement the teachings of their parents and were taught to have great respect for the territory, for the indigenous vines and for the Piedmontese land. They now produce wines in Tuscany as well, with great results.
