Here are some fun picks to celebrate the onset of summer this month. We have incorporated pink into the theme with June 13th being National Rose Day which happens to be coinciding with World Gin Day this year. What better time to pick up our new Collective Arts Plum & Blackthorn Gin to celebrate pink with gin. Let’s not forget all the wonderful Dad’s out there who I am sure would enjoy some of the whiskies we have on offer!
Freixenet Sparkling Rose
Glittering with blushing pink hues, this delicious sparkling rose is produced from a blend of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes from the Veneto region in Italy. Light and effervescent, with notes of red berries, white flowers and apple. A perfect way to start any evening or brunch
JAK’s Gratitude Rose
A vibrant and fruity rose made by Okanagan Crush Pad using Pinot Noir and Gamay with a hint of Muscat. Rich fruits lend to the medium body and are balanced off with a juicy acidity. Concentrated flavours of ripe stone fruits mix with strawberry puree on the palate. A truly delightful rose to share in gratitude.
Nichol Vineyards Pinot Gris
Benchmark Pinot Gris from this Naramata winery that uses skin contact to give the wine a pretty salmon hue while adding depth to the body. The juicy acidity brings the fresh flavours of apricot, tangerine and grapefruit together nicely. A great compliment for salads and seafood dishes.
Undurraga Sibaris Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet Sauvignon was made with carefully selected grapes from the Santa Ana Estate in the Maipo Valley of Chile. It shows fruity aromas of black currant, stewed raspberry, black cherry with subtle notes of spice and chocolate. Fresh acidity comes through on the palate with structured tannins and display a slight herbal note. Would pair nicely with meats and mature cheeses.
Stolichnaya Vodka
Classically styled and smooth vodka made using wheat, rye and artisinal water. Flavours of citrus peel, mineral and subtle marshmallow lead to a clean crisp finish. Add ginger beer and lime for a delicious Moscow Mule!
Collective Arts Plum & Blackthorn Gin
Plum and blackthorn contribute the pretty mauve hue while giving this gin a fruitiness that complements the heat of black peppercorns and ginger. The nose shows a complex array of aromas with cardamom, orange peel, juniper and plum. We are thrilled to be carrying this gin that placed Gold at the World Gin Awards in 2019!
Gibson’s Finest Rare Canadian Whisky – Aged 12 Years
This full flavoured and smooth Canadian whisky exhibits a vanilla sweet oakiness from long barrel-aging that carries through to the finish. Rich with complex flavours of crème brûlée, caramel and orange zest. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
Shelter Point Single Malt Whisky
Fantastic handcrafted BC whisky using 100% malted barley distilled by batch in copper pot stills and then allowed to rest oceanside in American oak barrels. The palate provides a delectable melody of ripe fruits and candied sweets, leading to a tantalising finish of spice, malt chocolate and a hint of salt. Treat your Dad this Father’s Day!
