Moon Curser Syrah
$41.99
"A staple of the South Okanagan vineyard scene, this peppery, fruit driven, elegant wine is well worth trying," says the winemaker, and we agree! This fine red is dry and medium-bodied, with pleasant notes of black cherry, black pepper and a subtle floral hint. Pair with anything meaty: slow-roasted lamb, steak or roast beef.
Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga DOCG
$48.99
Chianti Classico is the cornerstone of the estate’s production. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southeastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, to the southeast of Siena. Almost exclusively with a southwestern exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320-420 meters above sea level. Geologically, the terrains are mixed: in the higher parts the soil is predominantly rock quartz and calcareous Albanese mixed with alluvial pebbles; stratiform sandstone and loam characterize the vineyards on the edge of the Colli Senesi in the direction of the Crete Senesi. The first vintage was produced in 1967. 2019 was an exceptional vintage for the region, and it shows in the classic Chianti.
Castello dei Rampolla Chianti
$61.99
Alceo Rampolla started this winery in 1965 on land that had been in his family since the 1700s. Today it's biodynamically farmed and producing some of the finest wines in Chianti.

Noemia Malbec A Lisa
$59.99
We love this Argentine red for its high score low price ratio. See what the critics have to say: "Hans Vinding-Diers’ aim was to “capture the energy” of the 2016 vintage and he certainly succeeded. This is a step up on the 2015, with added finesse and perfume, youthful, floral, summer berry fruit and a long, mineral-edged finish. Very Burgundian". Drink 2019-24 93 Points Tim Atkin
Le Grand Verdus Bordeaux Rouge
$24.99
Great value for a red Bordeaux! This easy-to-drink blend is made of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. It comes from a lovely Bordeaux estate located in the heart of the AOC Bordeaux Supérieur, between Médoc, Graves and Saint-Emilion. The Le Grix de la Salle family started their winemaking business after the Second World War, but the estate dates back to Renaissance times.
Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc
$26.99
Chenin Blanc is the Cape’s signature variety, and the Mulderbosch winery has the largest planting of this variety in the world — the grape has been grown at Mulderbosch since the 1600s. Look for fruity aromas typical to the variety: mango, papaya and ripe grapefruit, while a subtle oak character lends depth to the profile. The taste is of tangy acidity leading into to a succulent and weighty mouthful. Enjoy with shellfish; grilled tuna; grilled sardines, lemon and herb roast chicken.
Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc
$30.99
The wine is pale lemon in colour, with vibrant tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit and lychees. Layered beneath there are hints of gooseberry, citrus and dried herbs. The palate is generous, yet remains fresh and lively, with a satisfying crisp finish. Favourable vintage conditions have added richness and texture to the wine, while still retaining its classic zesty freshness.
Quinta Portal Reserva Tinto
$46.99
This Douro winery shifted towards quality in the early 90s, (formerly Quinta dos Muros), a centenary estate of the Mansilha family who had been producing Port for generations. With a clear vision of the future, they became part of the first group of Douro winegrowers who believed in the Douro potential to make outstanding still wines. Paulo Coutinho has been the head winemaker since 1994, along with consultancy from Pascal Chatonnet since the 1992 vintage. It shows a concentrated ruby colour with aromas of ripe black fruit and some floral notes in perfect harmony with some toast from the oak. Expressive on the palate, it has lovely acidity and a pleasant fruity and toasty aftertaste. The final is long and complex and it will develop further with more time in bottle.
