Happy International Chardonnay Day! Here are our top picks for our favourite Chardonnays of varying styles from around the world.
It's the Day for Chardonnay!
Oh Chardonnay! You beautiful, misunderstood, magnificent grape you! I know there are people out there who have been offended by Chardonnay. At some point, they came across a version that they really didn’t like and swore it off. Perhaps it was a case of mistaken identity with not liking too oaky of a wine...
It's BC Cider Week!
Choose your Tequila - Choose your Cocktail
The classic spirit of choice to commemorate the May 05th date is Tequila and what better way to enjoy than a Margarita.
Today, there are more than 100 distilleries in Mexico that proudly create over 900 brands of Tequila much to the delight of Margarita-lovers and spirit-sippers. There are tons of variations now on the Margarita to have fun with but the classic is always a good standby.
May Tasting Notes
Start the month off with your favourite Margarita to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, treat your mom to something special on May 9th, then following close on its heels, World Whisky Day is on May 15th. Yet, even more celebrations are in store with the long weekend and all this beautiful sunny weather we are having. All in all, May is shaping up to be a fun month. No matter which occasion, we have something for everyone at JAK’s Beer, Wine and Spirits!
Giddy Up…It’s the Kentucky Derby!
This Saturday heralds in the 147th Kentucky Derby, the longest continually held sporting event in America. Watching 20 horses “run for the roses” can be the most exciting two minutes in sports. The Kentucky Derby takes place on the first Saturday of May each year at Churchill Downs and is a must-see!
Cherry Beverages for Cherry Blossom Season
Thank you, West Vancouver!
Blossom Bliss Cocktail
Sherigham’’s Kazuki Gin creates a balance between its robust Cherry Blossom notes, the sweetness of the honey simple syrup, and the tanginess of fresh lemon juice. The Meadow Vista Sparkling Cherry Wine gives the cocktail a unique and elevated touch that the drink holder will keep going back for. The Blossom Bliss is sure to please the palette of both gin-lovers and gin-beginners.
