Vineland Estates Unoaked Chardonnay
$24.99
In 1979 Hermann Weis from the Mosel region of Germany purchased the farm from the Moyer Family. Mr. Weis was a nurseryman and a winemaker in Leiwen. His winery, known globally today, is operated by his son Nik and family and it is called St. Urbans-hof. Mr. Weis brought his own Riesling vines to Ontario to show local growers that premium, vinifera vines could survive in our climate. Mr. Weis developed his own clone 21 and his plans were to grow and sell his Riesling vines all across North America. He planted 40 acres of his vines in 1979 at the Moyer farm to show his faith. To honour his new vineyard he called the old Moyer farm, St. Urban Vineyard. In 1980 their site became a licensed winery and our first bottled wine was from the 1983 vintage which is when they officially became Vineland Estates Winery. The winery is now owned by Mr. Fred DeGasperis and the DeGasperis Family Trust. A number of great Toronto families are part of that trust and are owners to this day.
Robert Gilvesy Furmint
$36.99
Founded by Robert Gilvesy in 2012, Gilvesy Winery is rooted in the volcanic slopes of Szent György-hegy and shaped by a life that bridges continents. Raised on a farm near Lake Erie, Robert returned to Hungary after 1989, bringing with him both Hungarian heritage and an architectural background that informed the restoration of the estate’s 17th-century cellar, completed between 2009 and the first harvest in 2012. Working with vineyards that transitioned to organic cultivation in 2014, the winery focuses on varieties that express the character of the mountain’s basalt-rich soils, including Riesling, Furmint, and Olaszrizling. These wines pack precision, purity, and mineral structure, reflecting Robert’s commitment to thoughtful, low-intervention winemaking.
La Soufrandiere 'Les Quarts
$123.99
La Soufrandière was an old property located in Vinzelles, in the southern part of the Mâcon wine-producing region (in Southern Burgundy), initially purchased by Jules Bret, a Professor of Medicine. At that point, the vineyards covered an area of only one hectare, grown in Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat “Les Quarts” appellation d’origine contrôlée. The only sign remaining of its past wine-growing activity was a “tinailler” (a building typical of the Mâcon region, used to house vats), complete with an old-fashioned wine press. Jules Bret and his wife Louise (who came from Vinzelles) set about expanding the La Soufrandière vineyard by acquiring plots of vines adjoining their existing ones. At that time, all the vines were entrusted to sharecroppers (shared costs and production), while the grapes harvested were vinified and sold through the Vinzelles Wine Co-operative. La Soufrandière withdrew from the Vinzelles Wine Co-operative in anticipation of the arrival of Jean-Philippe and Jean-Guillaume, who bottled their first vintage in 2000. Since then they have acquired more vineyards in the region and have become certified biodynamic, producing some of the most expressive wines in southern Burgundy.
Baronia Sangria
$19.99
The Spanish figured out a thing or two about wine a long long time ago. From Valencia near the central Mediterranean coast, you can taste a tradition as old as the hills. Sangria. Serve it by the jug. That's what they do in Spain. It's red wine with oranges and lemon macerated together to create a very refreshing fruity Spanish wine punch. Just add ice and a few slices of lemon. It's great as is the price! A Spanish favourite!
Cadet de la Begude IGP Mediterranee Rose
$27.99
Domaine de La Bégude was founded in 1996 by brothers Guillaume and Louis Tari, who continue an old family wine tradition (Château Giscours, 3rd Cru, Margaux). Today the estate is run by Guillaume and his wife Soledad. Guillaume is winemaker for the estate, as well as the president of the Bandol AOC. They are devoted to elaborating wines that express the characteristics of the Bandol terroir.

Massolino Moscato D`Asti Docg
$36.99
Appearance: bright straw yellow, with fine and persistent perlage; it maintains limited pressure, as recommended by the tradition of this wine.
Bouquet: tempting, immensely fresh and intense, it reveals decisive fruit notes, with a clear predominance of sage.
Flavour: expansive and enveloping, but not too sweet; the typical aroma of Moscato grapes is naturally prevalent and it has a very long and delicious finish.
It is best to serve it at temperatures between 9-10°C.
Superb with desserts, such as the classic Langhe hazelnut cake or apple and pine nut cake, lemon cake, fruit puffs and traditional Christmas panettone. It is also extremely particular and seductive when served with mature, slightly spicy cheeses.
To fully appreciate the fragrance of this wine, we recommend uncorking just before pouring.
"The Massolino family has been making Barolo from the iron-rich soils of Serralunga for over a century. This is an example of what you can expect when Moscato is given the Rolls Royce treatment. Drawn from just 1.5-hectares of hand-harvested grapes, in Moscato terms the production here is tiny, and what's more the vines are rooted in the prime calcareous soils of Serralunga d'Alba. The result is something altogether more savoury and complex and yet every bit as delicious as the more typical examples."
