Alison's Picks

Pere Magloire Fine VS Calvados  France

Tasting Notes: Perfect for early fall weather! This is a fruity and fresh Calvados bursting with apple flavours. It is distinguished by a simple continuous distillation in a copper still which allows the apple aromas to be concentrated. They are accentuated by the blending of the fruitiest vintages and aging in century-old oak barrels. Delicious after dinner or sipped in the afternoon with some cheese.

Price: $46.99

Grof Degenfeld Organic Furmint 2021  Hungary

Tasting Notes: If you're looking to expand your white wine repertoire, give Hungarian Furmints a try! This refreshing Tokaji dry white wine has a typical Furmint nose, with zesty aromas of green fruits, especially apples, wet stones, and a touch of lemon. We recently had the pleasure of staying at this family owned estate near Mad, Hungary and enjoyed a fabuous wine paired dinner and excellent accommodations. These zesty white wines are a perfect choice for fish, salad type summer meals and also as aperitif offerings at a gathering.

Price: $19.49

Hetszolo Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2010  Hungary

Tasting Notes: Tokaji wines are unique and special. The palate on this is well-balanced with a zesty opening, plenty of Clementine, peach and apricot notes. The acidity is very racy (12.5 grams per liter), that neatly balanced the 152 grams per liter residual sugar. Vibrant and very focused, this could be one of the best Aszu wines in what was a difficult vintage. Enjoy with something equally as sweet, or with a foie gras as a decadent appetizer!

Price: $63.99

Blue Giovello Prosecco  Italy

Tasting Notes: This easy going mellow Prosecco is lovely to sip on any time of the day! Fruity with apple, pear and some herbal notes. The palate is off-dry, simple and fruity but not too sweet. The mousse has a nice texture with lots of bubbles. Don't pour it too fast or it will foam up!

Price: $18.99

The Botanist Gin  Scotland

Tasting Notes: This gin is springtime in a glass! Islay's first dry gin is produced at Bruichladdich from nine classic gin botanicals and enhanced with 22 herbs and flowers that are hand-forged locally by their own botanical scientists. This combination of natural ingredients fill the glass with complex aromas and invigorating flavours, velvety texture ensues with a clean finish. I enjoy drinnking this gin either neat over ice, or with a splash of Perrier water and slice of lemon so I can savour all the delicious botanicals in it.

Price: $58.99

Carmen Gran Reserve Carignan  Chile

Tasting Notes: Aromas of cherries, dark chocolate, wafers, earth and baking spices. Medium-bodied with firm, fleshy tannins and fresh acidity. Peppery and spicy with a racy, flavorful finish. Produced by Winemaker Emily Falconer, hence a great choice for International Women's Month of March!

Price: $19.99

Megyer Tokaj Szaraz/dry  Hungary

Tasting Notes: Furmint grape with a touch of Harslevelu & Yellow Muscat, vinified and matured in stainless steel for 8 months. Aromas of green apple, pear, lime, and quince with hints of white flower, honey, and ginger on the nose. Light to medium body on the palate, refreshing with bright acidity, an orchard fruit core, and a pleasant and floral finish. The dry style wines from Tokaj region of Hungary are a lovely surprise!

Price: $24.99
