Their 2022 Riesling is fresh, crisp and floral. Delicate hints of honey and orange peel on the palate and a fine line of elegant acidity that pulls through to the finish.

Salem Evening Land Chardonnay
$53.99
Since 2014, Evening Land Vineyards has been under the aegis of Rajat Parr & Sashi Moorman, a vigneron tag-team loved for their work in California at Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi Wines. But Evening Land's story truly begins in 1980 when the MacDonald family planted the famed Seven Springs Vineyard in south-eastern Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley. The MacDonald Family farmed and sold this magical fruit to the brightest names in Oregon winemaking for decades. It wasn’t until 2005 when Evening Land Vineyards was born that this esteemed vineyard became a monopole, so to speak. Evening Land leased the whole of this treasured vineyard from the MacDonald family outright that year and a star-studded team led by Dominique Lafon of Burgundy fame took the helm, transitioning leadership to Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr in 2014.

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!
Clos du Soleil Rose
$24.99
This wonderful rosé is from the Similkameen Valley, very close to the Okanagan, British Columbia. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it is relatively full-bodied with a wonderful strawberry colour and "ripe fruit aromas of strawberry, raspberry and hints of cranberry and citrus. The palate explodes with these same ripe berry flavours, complemented with oak nuances of vanilla and caramel," according to the winery team! "Summer in a bottle," they say, and you know, we agree! Wonderful with roast chicken, roast turkey or smoked salmon. Very food-friendly!
